Journal, IO biomarker: Blinatumomab as salvage therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL who have failed/progressed after anti-CD19-CAR T therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 11, 2023 Blinatumomab could be an effective and safe salvage therapy in patients with R/R B-ALL who failed/progressed after anti-CD19-CAR T therapy, even in R/R B-ALL patients without high expression of CD19 in B-ALL cells, patients with CNS leukemia or co-infection.Key messagesSome R/R B-ALL patients did not respond to anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy or had a disease progression again. Effective and safe salvage therapy for such patients remains to be explored.Blinatumomab could be an effective and safe salvage therapy in patients with R/R B-ALL who failed/progressed after anti-CD19-CAR T therapy, even in patients without high expression of CD19 in B-ALL cells.Blinatumomab could be an effective and safe salvage therapy in patients with R/R B-ALL who failed/progressed after anti-CD19-CAR T therapy, even in patients with CNS leukemia or co-infection.

Journal: Efficacy of ivabradine in heart failure patients with a high-risk profile (analysis from the SHIFT trial). (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2023 The higher MACE rate in the non-US/non-Europe vadadustat group may have been partly because of imbalances in the baseline eGFR level in countries where dialysis was not uniformly available resulting in many kidney-related deaths. Our analysis shows that RHR reduction with ivabradine is effective and improves clinical outcomes in HF patients across various risk indicators such as low SBP, high RHR, low LVEF, and high NYHA class to a similar extent and without safety concern.

P3 data, Journal: First-line systemic treatment strategies in patients with initially unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CAIRO5): an open-label, multicentre, randomised, controlled, phase 3 study from the Dutch Colorectal Cancer Group. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2023 P3 In patients with initially unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases, FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab was the preferred treatment in patients with a right-sided or RAS or BRAF mutated primary tumour. In patients with a left-sided and RAS and BRAF wild-type tumour, the addition of panitumumab to FOLFOX or FOLFIRI showed no clinical benefit over bevacizumab, but was associated with more toxicity.

Journal: Development of PROTAC degrader probe of CDK4/6 based on DCAF16. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2023 Moreover, the toxicity of A4 in normal cells showed 7 times lower than that of Palbociclib, and A4 exhibits therapeutic potential in MDA-MB-231 xenograft models in vivo. These findings indicate that A4, as a novel CDK4/6 degrader based on DCAF16, is worthy of further investigating for the treatment of TNBC.

Review, Journal: Intratumoral Immunotherapy: Is It Ready for Prime Time? (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2023 Studies mainly focused on multi-metastatic patients, with some positive trials such as T-VEC in melanoma, but evidence of clinical benefit is still lacking...The clinical benefit might be improved in patients with a low tumor burden. Future clinical trials should focus on adequate timing of treatment delivery during the course of the disease, particularly in the neoadjuvant setting.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 9, 2023 However, some patients had a period of treatment discontinuation, placing them at increased risk of fracture. A focused program emphasizing the importance of long-term adherence with denosumab (including switching to bisphosphonates if treatment is discontinued) may be warranted to further improve the quality use of osteoporosis treatment in Australia.
