In people with HIV-1 undergoing antiretroviral treatment interruption, lefitolimod combined with broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) did not delay viral rebound beyond that achieved with bNAbs alone, raising the question of how to optimize combination immunotherapy to control HIV-1.
A meta-analysis of longitudinal studies representing 16 countries found that hobby engagement was associated with better mental and self-reported health in adults aged 65 years and older as well as correlation with higher life expectancy and national happiness levels.
The first feasibility study of orally delivered senolytic therapy in Alzheimer’s disease reports favorable safety data and penetrance of dasatinib into the brain with a modest impact on Alzheimer’s and aging biomarkers.
The NIMBLE biomarker qualification project evaluated the diagnostic performance of five blood-based biomarkers in a cohort of individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and showed good discriminative performance over commonly used laboratory tests in detecting various stages of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis progression.
Longitudinal proteomic profiling of over 1,800 patients revealed two distinct profiles of blood biomarkers measured on admission to hospital for COVID-19, which predict cognitive deficits 6 and 12 months later.
Analyses of 1,277 human brain proteomes reveal the extent of sex differences in the brain and identify genes associated with neuropsychiatric traits that have differential regulation between males and females.
An Omicron BA.4/BA.5 mRNA booster vaccine elicits high neutralizing responses to the BA.4/BA.5 variant and to ancestral SARS-CoV-2, supporting tailoring booster vaccines to the predominant Omicron variant.
Tumor-intrinsic resistance mechanisms, including mutational events and immunoselection of mutant clones, were identified in 30 patients with multiple myeloma who experienced relapse after treatment with anti-BCMA CAR T cells and/or anti-BCMA bispecific T cell engagers (TCEs) or anti-GPRC5D TCE therapy.
In patients with acute heart failure, personalized dosing of a diuretic led to treatment intensification in the majority of patients and improved natriuresis, but had no effects on time to all-cause mortality or heart failure rehospitalization.
A community-led randomized controlled trial in China showed that a pay-it-forward incentives increased the uptake of hepatitis B and C virus testing in men who have sex with men as compared with standard-of-care.
Analysis of antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccines encoding variant-specific spike, with or without ancestral spike, suggests no loss of neutralization of the ancestral virus with variant-only vaccines, which may simplify future vaccine updates.
In cohorts of 498 pregnant women, methylation profiles from cell-free DNA, in addition to clinical risk factors, improved the early prediction of preeclampsia.
In a prespecified secondary analysis of the STEP-HFpEF trial, semagludtide treatment was associated with improvements in KCCQ-CSS and body weight, as well as trial secondary endpoints, across the spectrum of obesity classes, with the magnitude of beneficial effects being proportional to the extent of weight loss.
First-in-human results from five cohorts of healthy volunteers and individuals with hepatic steatosis show that RNA interference treatment targeting ANGPTL3 was well tolerated and led to reduction in triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol.
Treatment of patients with metastatic salivary gland cancer with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 led to encouraging clinical benefit in certain histologic subtypes, with translational analyses showing pre-existing T cell clonal expansion in responding tumors.
Analysis of data from the US Department of Veterans Affairs showed that 2 years after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, risk for most postacute sequelae remained elevated in people who were hospitalized with COVID-19 but was attenuated in nonhospitalized individuals.
Using extracted images and related labels from pathology-related tweets, a model is trained to associate tissue images and text and approaches state-of-the-art performance in clinically relevant tasks, such as tissue classification.
Patients with stage 4 or unresectable stage 3 melanoma refractory to first-line anti-programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) or anti-programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 have longer progression-free survival when treated with a combination of anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4 (CTLA-4) and anti-PD-1 versus anti-CTLA-4 alone.
This is a post hoc 18-month follow-up analysis of the CRB-401 trial, testing idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, bb2121) in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, and reports sustained safety and clinical efficacy, which correlates with T cell phenotypes.
In a pivotal phase 2 trial, elranatamab, a bispecific antibody targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD3, had a confirmed objective response rate of 61% in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who had not previously received BCMA-directed therapy.
