BACKGROUNDThe relationship between molecular subgroups in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and metastatic tropism is poorly understood.METHODSWe analyzed over 5,000 metastatic sites from 305 treatment-naive ccRCC patients in the IMmotion150 phase II clinical trial, where patients were randomized to atezolizumab, atezolizumab/bevacizumab, or sunitinib.RESULTSAngiogenic tumors (clusters 1 and 2) had a higher rate of pancreatic (21%…

CONCLUSION: The recombinant EM skin test is safe, well-tolerated, and demonstrates preliminary diagnostic accuracy comparable to IGRAs. By successfully validating the translational utility of the MPT64 (RD2) antigen in a human cohort, this study provides a strong proof-of-concept for the EM skin test as a scalable, specific, and cost-effective immunodiagnostic tool.

CONCLUSIONS: Morning ICI infusions confer a modest but clinically meaningful survival benefit that is absent in chemotherapy controls, supporting a causal chronotherapeutic effect. Scheduling ICIs before noon represents a low-cost, immediately actionable strategy warranting prospective confirmation.

BACKGROUND: Nacubactam (OP0595) is a newly developed diazabicyclooctane β-lactamase inhibitor used in combination with cefepime or aztreonam. We assessed the efficacy and safety of cefepime-nacubactam and aztreonam-nacubactam versus imipenem-cilastatin in complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) or acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis.

CONCLUSIONS: Acetazolamide plus diet gave statistically significant improvements of visual function, papilledema, CSF pressure, and quality of life in patients with IIH with mild visual loss. A maximally tolerated dose up to 4 g/day is recommended.

ObjectiveTo assess external counterpulsation (ECP) effects on cognitive and functional decline in early AD.MethodsThis 12-month, multicenter, blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial enrolled 190 patients with early AD (MCI due to AD or mild AD per NIA-AA clinical criteria). Participants received either full-pressure ECP (150-300 mmHg) or sham (25 mmHg): 3-5 weekly one-hour sessions for 35 treatments,…

CONCLUSIONS: Mobile surveys may yield substantially lower patient experience scores than telephone surveys. Unlike previous studies, our study analyzes randomized experimental data under various missingness scenarios and provides evidence that this mode effect is unlikely to be attributable to analytical methods or heterogeneity in respondent characteristics between the 2 survey administration modes. Accordingly, caution is…

Standard time-to-surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer has historically been 4-6 weeks. Observational studies have suggested improved oncological outcomes and health-related quality of life in patients after prolonged time-to-surgery. This study aimed to investigate whether prolonged time-to-surgery is associated with improved health-related quality of life compared to the standard interval. This study is a…
![A Phase 1 Oral Mass Balance and Combined Intravenous [14C] Microtracer Study to Characterize the Absorption, Metabolism, Excretion, and Pharmacokinetics of Antitumor Drug E7386 in Humans](https://i.aidevmd.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/itinai.com_A_close-up_shot_of_a_scientist_wearing_a_pristine__db6a7c73-f520-44e3-bb74-10eabe38d600_3.png)
E7386, an orally active protein-protein interaction inhibitor, is reported to impair the interaction between transcriptional co-activator CREB-binding protein and β-catenin. A competent study design exploring the concomitant dosing routes, sensitive intravenous (IV; [^(14)C]) microtracer technology, and oral [^(14)C] radiolabeled dosing was successfully implemented to determine the absolute bioavailability and the absorption, metabolism, and excretion (AME)…
