A triple suicide gene strategy that improves therapeutic effects and incorporates multimodality molecular imaging for monitoring gene functions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT), or suicide gene therapy, has shown promise in clinical trials. In this preclinical study using stable cell lines and xenograft tumor models, we show that a triple-suicide-gene GDEPT approach produce enhanced therapeutic efficacy over previous methods. Importantly, all the three genes (thymidine kinase, cytosine deaminase and uracil phosphoribosyltransferase) function simultaneously as effectors for GDEPT and markers for multimodality molecular imaging (MMI), using positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and optical (fluorescent and bioluminescent) techniques. It was demonstrated that MMI can evaluate the distribution and function/activity of the triple suicide gene. The concomitant expression of these genes significantly enhances prodrug cytotoxicity and radiosensitivity in vitro and in vivo.
