Acute Myeloid Leukemia Sub-Committee, Association of Childhood Leukemia Study (JACLS), Japan.
Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.

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.

Objective: To evaluate the role of Rescue BCG in the treatment of BCG-unresponsive nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in order to inform clinical decision-making especially when access to alternative therapies is limited.
Methods: From an institutional database, patients who met the criteria of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC between 2002 and 2023 were identified and sorted into 2 cohorts: those who received additional BCG therapy immediately after BCG-unresponsive designation and those who received alternative treatments such as intravesical chemotherapy and radical cystectomy. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

Early postoperative seizures, defined as occurring within 7 days after surgery, are a significant complication that occurs following neurosurgical procedures involving cerebral manipulation. As a result, short-term antiseizure medication is typically administered in Japan despite the lack of consensus regarding its prophylactic use. Perampanel hydrate, an α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist, was recently introduced in an intravenous formulation in Japan, providing new potential for early postoperative seizures prevention during the perioperative period.

Background: Intracranial meningiomas are the most common benign central nervous system tumors, often managed with elective surgical resection. While outcomes are generally favorable, postoperative management remains variable, particularly regarding routine Intensive-Care Units (ICU) admission. Given increasing pressure on critical care resources, identifying patients who truly require ICU-level monitoring is essential.
