CONCLUSIONS: While the trial under-recruited participants mainly due to COVID-19 restrictions, it demonstrates that robust evaluations and cost utility analyses are possible. Further evaluations are required to establish cost effectiveness and should consider using the ICE-CAP-A wellbeing measure for cost utility analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with type 2 diabetes treated with ICD/CRT-D, empagliflozin reduces the number of ventricular arrhythmias compared with placebo. Trial registration jRCTs031180120.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest blood anti-dsDNA IgE as a non-invasive predictive marker of LN relapse.
CONCLUSION: Hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine for ESPB achieved a greater postoperative analgesic effect for patients receiving MRM under general anesthesia. The combined analgesia caused fewer adverse reactions and inhibited the expression level of the inflammatory factor IL-6 more effectively, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery. ESPB using hydromorphone with ropivacaine improved pain control post-MRM, reduced adverse effects,…
CONCLUSIONS: This study could not confirm a statistically significant benefit or disadvantage for SST Insertion in EN-DCR.
CONCLUSIONS: Sivelestat can significantly reduce the levels of serum inflammatory factors, improve cardiac function, and reduce heart rate variability in patients with Sepsis-induced ARDS and SCM.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is reportedly overexpressed in most esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, but anti-EGFR treatments offer limited survival benefits. Our preclinical data showed the promising antitumor activity of afatinib in EGFR-overexpressing ESCC. This proof-of-concept, phase II trial assessed the efficacy and safety of afatinib in pretreated metastatic ESCC patients (n =…
We developed a composite symptom score (CSS) representing disease-related symptom burden over time in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Longitudinal data were collected from an open-label Phase IIB study in which 239 patients completed the validated MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for MPM (MDASI-MPM). A blinded, independent review committee of external patient-reported outcomes experts advised…
BACKGROUND: The mainstay of treatment for early-stage follicular lymphoma is local radiotherapy, with a possible role for anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb). We aimed to evaluate the effect of these treatments using a measurable residual disease (MRD)-driven approach.
CONCLUSION: Ulixertinib, a novel targeted agent with no previous pediatric data, was successfully evaluated in a national precision medicine basket trial. The pediatric RP2D of ulixertinib is 260 mg/m²/dose orally twice a day. Limited single-agent efficacy was observed in a biomarker-selected cohort of refractory pediatric tumors.
