Clinical trials using glutamine analogues were abandoned due to lack of efficacy and/or severe toxicity, likely because the drugs were relatively non-specific and affected many glutamine-utilizing enzymes.
“Clinical trials using glutamine analogues to treat cancers were initiated decades ago, but these trials were abandoned due to lack of efficacy and/or severe patient toxicity (Livingston et al., 1970; O’Dwyer et al., 1984). The absence of a therapeutic window for these studies can likely be attributed to fact that these drugs were relatively non-specific and a panoply of glutamine utilizing enzymes”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
