Article Abstract

Background: Treatment-related skin reactions (TRSRs) induced by enfortumab vedotin (EV) targeting nectin-4 are among the most common adverse events. However, their association with survival and treatment response is poorly understood.

Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who received EV from December 2021 to April 2023 at Nagoya University Hospital and its affiliated facilities and extracted clinical data from their medical records. We evaluated cancer-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as survival outcomes and overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) as treatment responses between patients with and without TRSRs.

Results: In total, 67 eligible patients were identified. Thirty-four patients experienced TRSRs, and the remaining 33 did not experience TRSRs. The median follow-up period was 8 months. Patients in the TRSRs group demonstrated significantly longer median CSS (15 vs. 8 months; p = 0.003) and median PFS (10 vs. 5 months; p < 0.001) than the non-TRSRs. Regarding treatment response, the patients in the TRSRs group showed a favorable, albeit nonsignificant, treatment response trend compared with those in the non-TRSRs group (ORR, 73.5% vs. 51.5%; p = 0.107; DCR, 91.2 % vs. 81.8%; p = 0.444).

Conclusions: Patients with TRSRs demonstrated more prolonged survival and superior treatment responses to EV treatment. The role of TRSR as a surrogate marker of EV's efficacy should be further explored in prospective and sufficiently powered studies.

Heart failure (HF) is a multifactorial and pathophysiological complex syndrome, involving not only neurohormonal activation but also oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, and metabolic derangements. Central to the cellular defence against oxidative damage is nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor that orchestrates antioxidant and cytoprotective responses. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that Nrf2 signalling is consistently impaired in HF, contributing to the progression of myocardial dysfunction.

Autoimmune nodopathies: emerging insights and clinical implications.

Curr Opin Neurol

October 2025

Neuromuscular Diseases Unit, Department of Neurology, IR SANT PAU, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, CIBERER, Barcelona, Spain.

Purpose Of Review: Autoimmune nodopathies (AN) are a recognized distinct group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies with unique immunopathological features and therapeutic implications. This review synthesizes recent advances in their pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management, which have refined their clinical classification and informed targeted treatment strategies.

Recent Findings: AN are characterized by autoantibodies targeting surface proteins in the nodal-paranodal area (anti-contactin-1, anti-contactin-associated protein 1, anti-neurofascin-155, anti-pan-neurofascin), predominantly of IgG4 subclass.

Background: Poor hand dexterity may increase the risk of functional disability; however, few studies have examined the relationship between hand dexterity and incident functional disability. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the dose-response association of hand dexterity with incident functional disability in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: This study included 1,069 older adults aged ≥65 years in Kasama City, Japan.

Vibrio infections cause enteritis in grouper fish, leading to high mortality and stunted growth, which is a major challenge for aquaculture. Oligochitosans, marine prebiotics with bioactive properties, have proven their potential for growth promotion and immune regulation. However, the impacts of Vibrio harveyi on the gut microbiome of grouper fish and the potential of oligochitosans to modulate these effects remain poorly understood.

Expanded senescent CD8 T-cells in IMID patients are associated with distinct inflammatory cytokines.

Introduction: Immunosenescence remodels immune functions and was first described with aging. It is present in 25% of cancer patients but has also been described in patients with Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). This study aims at quantifying cells exhibiting a phenotype of senescence in CD4+ (T4sen) and CD8+ (T8sen) T cells, analyzing its potential drivers and the effect of anti-TNF treatment in a prospective cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Sjögren disease (SjD).
