Article Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) profoundly impacts patients' lives, necessitating long-term systemic treatments.

Methods: This retrospective study involved 709 severe AD patients receiving dupilumab. Drug survival (DS) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, evaluating reasons for discontinuation. The log-rank test and Cox regression analysis were applied to assess differences in drug survival across baseline clinical characteristic groups.

Results: Dupilumab showcased remarkable overall drug survival, reaching 74.1% at 65 months. Survival rates remained robust even when considering discontinuation solely due to primary or secondary inefficacy (86.4% at 65 months). For overall DS, the log-rank test did not reveal a statistically significant difference among the groups. Cox regression analysis showed that patients with nummular eczema-like as a phenotype have an increased risk of discontinuing dupilumab due to the development of psoriasis ( < .001, hazard ratio = 26.15, confidence interval [CI] 6.903-99.016). The multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed these results ( < .001, OD = 18.956, CI 4.205-85.458), even when considering other clinical and epidemiological characteristics.

Conclusion: This investigation establishes dupilumab's enduring efficacy and safety in severe AD, emphasizing its potential as a sustained therapeutic option over 5+ years. Baseline characteristics did not seem to influence DS, with the exception of the nummular eczema-like phenotype, which emerged as a significant predictor of psoriasis occurrence.

Introduction: The high mortality of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) highlights the need for safe and effective antiviral treatment. Small molecular antivirals (remdesivir, molnupiravir, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) and immunomodulators (baricitinib, tocilizumab) have been developed or repurposed to suppress viral replication and ameliorate cytokine storms, respectively. Despite U.

Purpose: Limited data is available assessing sequencing of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR +), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative, HER2-low, and triple-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC), including patients with brain metastases (BrM) or leptomeningeal disease (LMD). This study assesses the efficacy and safety of sequential sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in MBC and impact on chemotherapy (CTX).

Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, cohort study in adult patients with HR + , HER2-negative, or low MBC who received T-DXd and/or SG.

Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized cancer treatment by enabling comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (CGP) to guide genotype-directed therapies. While several prospective trials have demonstrated varying outcomes with CGP in patients with advanced solid tumors, its clinical utility in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains to be evaluated.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of CGP in our hospital between September 2019 and March 2024.

Background: Identifying molecular alterations specific to advanced lung adenocarcinomas could provide insights into tumour progression and dissemination mechanisms.

Method: We analysed tumour samples, either from locoregional lesions or distant metastases, from patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma from the SAFIR02-Lung trial by targeted sequencing of 45 cancer genes and comparative genomic hybridisation array and compared them to early tumours samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas.

Results: Differences in copy-number alterations frequencies suggest the involvement in tumour progression of LAMB3, TNN/KIAA0040/TNR, KRAS, DAB2, MYC, EPHA3 and VIPR2, and in metastatic dissemination of AREG, ZNF503, PAX8, MMP13, JAM3, and MTURN.
