Introduction: This post-hoc analysis of the registrational FLAURA study and AURA program reports long-term safety data in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm), advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with osimertinib for ≥ 36 months.
Methods: Patients from FLAURA who received first-line osimertinib and from the AURA program (AURA, AURA2, AURA3) who received ≥ second-line osimertinib were included. Patients received osimertinib 80 mg once daily. Safety data were analyzed in patients who remained on treatment for ≥ 36 months. The post-study global safety database captured investigator-reported serious adverse events (SAEs) in patients who continued osimertinib beyond final data cut-off (DCO) of the studies. Best response data were analyzed in patients on treatment for ≥ 54 months (FLAURA) or ≥ 36 months (AURA program).
Results: In FLAURA, 76 (28 %) and 36 (13 %) of 267 patients received first-line osimertinib for ≥ 36 and ≥ 54 months, respectively; median exposure: 52.5 and 64.5 months, respectively. Across the AURA program,124 (16 %) of 799 patients received ≥ second-line osimertinib for ≥ 36 months; median exposure: 44.7 months. Investigators reported on-study SAEs in 17 % (FLAURA) and 35 % (AURA program) of patients who continued treatment for ≥ 36 months. Post-study incidences of SAEs were 11 % (FLAURA) and 21 % (AURA program). On-study, adverse events (AEs) of cardiac effects (indicative of cardiac failure; grouped term) occurred in 7 % (FLAURA) and 5 % (AURA program) of patients; AEs of interstitial lung disease (ILD; grouped term) occurred in 0 (FLAURA) and 1 (AURA program) patient. No post-study SAEs were reported for the grouped terms cardiac effects and ILD. Most patients treated for ≥ 54 months (FLAURA) and ≥ 36 months (AURA program) had a best on-study response of partial response.
Conclusion: This analysis demonstrated that long-term treatment with osimertinib of ≥ 36 months was well tolerated in patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC.

Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, represent substantial global health challenges due to their chronic and often progressive nature. While allopathic medicine offers a range of pharmacological interventions aimed at managing symptoms and mitigating disease progression, it is accompanied by limitations, including adverse side effects, the development of drug resistance, and incomplete efficacy. In parallel, phytochemicals-bioactive compounds derived from plants-are receiving increased attention for their potential neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1 (MACF1) is a large protein of the spectraplakin family, which is essential for brain development. MACF1 interacts with microtubules through the growth arrest-specific 2 (Gas2)-related (GAR) domain. Heterozygous MACF1 missense variants affecting the zinc-binding residues in this domain result in a distinctive cortical and brain stem malformation.

Introduction: Multi Sensory Stimulation And Priming (MuSSAP) is an early upper limb training for infants at high risk of unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). MuSSAP is designed to enhance awareness of the affected upper limb facilitating initiation of goal-directed movements. This study assesses the effectiveness of an 8-week MuSSAP training on manual ability in a clinical setting.

Understanding the genetic causes of diseases affecting pancreatic β cells and neurons can give insights into pathways essential for both cell types. Microcephaly, epilepsy and diabetes syndrome (MEDS) is a congenital disorder with two known aetiological genes, IER3IP1 and YIPF5. Both genes encode proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi trafficking.

Clobazam (CLB) has been an established treatment for epilepsy since the 1970s, with a broad spectrum. It is frequently used as add on therapy for refractory patients. Furthermore, it is different from classic benzodiazepines (BZD) for containing nitrogen atoms in 1 and 5 positions of B ring (other are 1.
