Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Context: Alefacept, human LFA-3/IgG1 fusion protein, is a novel biological agent currently being developed for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. Alefacept selectively reduces the memory-effector T cells that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease; as a result, alefacept is classified as a therapy that induces remission (so-called 'remittive' therapy). In a previously published randomized, placebo-controlled phase II study of intravenous alefacept in 229 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis, clinical improvement was observed during dosing as well as in the postdosing follow-up period.", 'To assess the remission period following alefacept therapy.', "The time before re-treatment was required was measured in patients who were 'clear' or 'almost clear' of disease according to a physician global assessment at the end of the follow-up phase.", 'In these patients, responses were sustained for a median of 10 months, and for up to 18 months. No patient reported disease rebound after cessation of alefacept.
Answer: Alefacept is a biological agent for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis that provides disease-free intervals and time off drug therapy.
Does alefacept therapy produce remission for patients with chronic plaque psoriasis?

Context: Two years ago the authors began to use Swan-Ganz catheters to generate more complex hemodynamic data as a better guide to resuscitation of burns. This study uses the information to identify differences between survivors and nonsurvivors.', 'Fifty-three consecutive patients with major burns were treated using Swan-Ganz-generated data. Additional information was collected, including demographics, intake and output, medications, and arterial blood gas (including calculated oxygen consumption). Statistical analysis incorporated adjustments for autocorrelation.', 'The patients included 38 men and 15 women, averaged 43.7 years of age, and had a mean burn size of 40%. Thirteen patients suffered severe inhalation injury. Data collected hourly over 3 days were collapsed across 6-hour observation periods. Mean values, when plotted across time, discriminated the 37 survivors from the 16 nonsurvivors. Poor response to resuscitation as evidenced by increased use of colloid fluid and cardiotonic drugs plus failure to maximize oxygen consumption were associated with nonsurvival.
Answer: Unsustained or inadequate response to hyperdynamic resuscitation of burns was associated with nonsurvival.
Do survival in major burn injuries is predicted by early response to Swan-Ganz-guided resuscitation?

Context: The heat shock protein (hsp27) correlates with thermotolerance and chemoresistance. Our main objective was to assess the response to radiotherapy both in vitro and in vivo in correlation with various concentrations of hsp27. The second objective was to evaluate the relation between hsp27 and glutathione-s-transferase pi (GST pi).', 'For the in vitro study, thermoresistant cell lines, expressing various amounts of hsp27, were used to assess the role of this protein in radioresistance. To verify the efficiency of hsp27 in these cells lines to confer resistance to cytotoxic agents, these cells were also treated with heat shock and cisplatin. Furthermore, the role of hsp27 expression was studied in vivo by immunochemistry in 98 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated by radiotherapy. hsp27 was correlated with local control of the tumor and with clinical and biologic factors potentially able to affect the local control, including p53, ki-67, ploidy, and GST.', 'In vitro, high constitutive levels of expression of hsp27 did not significantly influence the survival curves of transfected cells exposed to radiation as compared to control cells although hsp27 overexpression was confirmed to increased the cellular resistance to heat and to cisplatinum. In vivo, we showed that overexpression of various amounts of hsp27 did not correlate with local control of the tumor. In vivo, hsp27 was only significantly associated with GST pi. Expression of GST pi was associated with poor local (p = 0.01) control and survival (p = 0.08) in a Cox model.
Answer: It is concluded that the mechanisms responsible for hsp27-mediated heat and drug resistance are not involved in radioprotection.
Is overexpression of the 27 KDa heat shock protein associated with thermoresistance and chemoresistance but not with radioresistance?
