Article Abstract
Background: There is a need to improve the systemic treatment of advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Response rates to chemotherapy are poor and preliminary investigations of molecularly targeted agents have been disappointing. In this study, we evaluate sorafenib, an oral multikinase inhibitor, which has an attractive targeting profile for this disease.
Methods: In a single-arm phase II trial, patients with unresectable locally recurrent and/or metastatic ACC were treated with sorafenib 400 mg bid.
Results: Twenty-three patients, median age 51 years, were recruited from 2009 to 2011. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 11.3 and 19.6 months, respectively. PFS at 6 and 12 months were 69.3% and 46.2%, respectively. Sorafenib was only reasonably well tolerated, and 13 patients (57%) experienced grade 3 toxicity.
Conclusion: Sorafenib showed modest activity in ACC with a 12-month PFS of 46.2%. Sorafenib 400 mg bid was associated with significant toxicity and, taken together with limited effectiveness, cannot be enthusiastically recommended for further evaluation.

Tirzepatide for the Maintenance of Body Weight Reduction: Rationale, Design, and Baseline Characteristics of SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
September 2025
Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Objective: SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reducing the tirzepatide dose and/or continuing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) versus placebo in maintaining body weight (BW) reduction achieved with tirzepatide MTD.
Methods: This Phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, parallel-arm, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 52-week clinical trial is in progress comparing treatment with once weekly tirzepatide (5 mg and/or MTD of 15 mg or 10 mg) versus placebo in achieving BW reduction maintenance from the initial 60-week open-label weight-loss period on tirzepatide MTD, in adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m or ≥ 27 kg/m with ≥ 1 obesity-related comorbidity, excluding type 2 diabetes). The primary endpoint is percent maintenance of BW reduction achieved during the weight-loss period at Week 112 among those who reached a BW plateau (i.

Background: Eosinophilic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), characterized by type 2 inflammation, is an emerging target for biologic therapies.
Objective: To indirectly compare the efficacy of dupilumab and mepolizumab in eCOPD, defined as blood eosinophil counts ≥300 cells/μL, by synthesizing data from phase 3 randomized controlled trials: BOREAS and NOTUS for dupilumab, MATINEE for mepolizumab.
Methods: We performed an indirect comparison of trial primary and secondary outcomes including annual exacerbation rates (AER), quality of life (St.
Phase 2C clinical trial of novel short-course regimens for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis: TBTC study 38/CRUSH-TB design.
Contemp Clin Trials
September 2025
Weill Cornell Medicine Center for Global Health, New York, NY, USA.
Introduction: Preclinical and clinical study data show that combining bedaquiline (B or BDQ), moxifloxacin (M), and pyrazinamide (Z), known as BMZ, has potent antimicrobial activity that might shorten treatment duration for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods/design: We describe the design of Tuberculosis Trials Consortium (TBTC) Study 38/CRUSH-TB (NCT05766267), an open-label multicenter international randomized controlled phase 2C trial that compares two four-month regimens, BMZ plus rifabutin (Rb) (2BMZRb/2BMRb) or BMZ plus delamanid (D or DLM) (2BMZD/2BMD), with standard 6-months isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (HRZE). All drugs are administered seven days per week, under direct observation, at least five days per week.
A 3-month clofazimine-rifapentine-containing regimen for drug-susceptible tuberculosis versus standard of care (Clo-Fast): a randomised, open-label, phase 2c clinical trial.

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Based on results from preclinical and clinical studies, a five-drug combination of isoniazid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and clofazimine was identified with treatment shortening potential for drug-susceptible tuberculosis; the Clo-Fast trial aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of this regimen. We compared 3 months of isoniazid, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, and clofazimine, administered with a clofazimine loading dose, to the standard 6 month regimen of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol in drug-susceptible tuberculosis.
Methods: Clo-Fast was a phase 2c open-label trial recruiting participants at six sites in five countries.
Metastasis-directed radiotherapy without systemic therapy for oligometastatic clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma: primary efficacy analysis of a single-arm, single-centre, phase 2 trial.

Background: Select patients with metastatic clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma can be treated without systemic therapy, yet few studies have explored this population. We investigated the efficacy of metastasis-directed therapy without systemic therapy in oligometastatic clear-cell renal-cell carincoma.
Methods: This investigator-initiated single-arm, phase 2 trial enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, histologically confirmed clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma, and one to five metastases.
