Journal: Sakemura RL, Manriquez Roman C, Horvei P, et (Pubmed Central) - Oct 3, 2024 These HRQoL results together with published reports of efficacy, support the use of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy for advanced/metastatic esophageal cancer. No abstract available

Journal: Discovery of Oral Degraders of the ROS1 Fusion Protein with Potent Activity against Secondary Resistance Mutations. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 3, 2024 The degrader can effectively inhibit ROS1-dependent cell proliferation and tumor growth by degrading the ROS1 kinase, thereby eliminating the active phospho-ROS1. More importantly, the degradation-based therapeutic modality can overcome on-target mutation resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors by efficient degradation of the mutated kinase to achieve greater potency than inhibition.

Journal, HEOR: Cost-utility of tofacitinib in the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis in France: a multi-state Markov model analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 3, 2024 This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of introducing tofacitinib in second-line therapies after methotrexate failure for rheumatoid arthritis in France...The reference strategy included the four classes of biologics commonly used in France (TNFi, tocilizumab, abatacept, rituximab)...Our analysis is limited to severe adverse effects, and their cost is extrapolated from the average hospitalisation cost. The estimated costs are therefore underestimated for chronic diseases such as cancer.

This case underscores the necessity for a holistic view of the patient's clinical and immune phenotype, including distinctive radiological presentations, for precise diagnoses and tailored management of CVID.

Journal: Crinkle-Cut Coronary Arteries in a Patient With Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 3, 2024 Cardiac involvement in GPA is often subclinical and if clinically significant has been rarely reported, even less so as an initial presentation. We describe the case of a 44-year-old man who presented with what appeared to be inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and was found to have small vessel vasculitis of the coronary arteries with associated myocarditis as a presenting manifestation of GPA, which was ultimately treated with steroids, rituximab, and avacopan.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 3, 2024 Consideration of BM and PD-L1 status in treatment decisions for mUC patients receiving ICIs may improve clinical outcomes. Most cases of cutaneous mastocytosis show cell surface expression of CD30 expression and is, therefore, in principle, accessible for therapy with antibodies against CD30, provided the overall situation of the patient warrants.
