Small-molecule senolytic compounds targeting BCL-xL were beneficial in a mouse model of diabetic edema and well tolerated when tested in a phase 1 trial involving eight patients with diabetic macular edema.
In an analysis of severe dengue cases in a cohort of children in India, more than half could be attributed to primary rather than secondary infection, suggesting that primary dengue infections might also contribute substantially to severe disease burden.
In this first-in-human phase 1 dose-escalation trial of OMO-103, a MYC inhibitor, in patients with solid tumors, treatment was safe and showed preliminary clinical activity along with demonstrated target engagement and identification of potential pharmacodynamic markers.
In a large-scale study involving 389 board-certified dermatologists and 459 primary-care physicians from 39 countries, the impact of a deep learning-aided decision support system on physicians’ diagnostic accuracy was tested across 46 skin diseases and for both light and dark skin tones.
Implementation of a self-referral chatbot for mental healthcare services increased access substantially in a large multicenter study, with a much larger effect on minority individuals.
In a prespecified interim analysis of the phase 3 trial GEMSTONE-304, anti-PD-L1 with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone led to significantly prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Interim analysis of the SHIELD program, adopting multilevel interventions, showcases low mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rates of hepatitis B virus (HBV) across different hospital and community settings in China.
To evaluate the effects of implementing the WHO Labour Care Guide on cesarean section rates, as compared to routine intrapartum care, a pilot trial conducted in India generated preliminary evidence around the effectiveness of the strategy that can inform larger definitive trials.
In a post hoc multiomics analysis of a trial comparing a plant-based, low-fat diet to an animal-based, ketogenic diet, the diets have differential effects on peripheral immune cell frequencies and immune-related gene expression.
A small number of patients who received growth hormone preparations contaminated with seeds of the amyloid-beta protein developed Alzheimer’s disease many years after treatment.
Cohort-scale integration of clinical and proteomic data from tumor tissues in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma led to the identification of a prognostic risk model for patient stratification as well as biomarkers of response to adjuvant chemotherapy, validated in independent external cohorts.
Simulation of improvements in hypertension care across wealth quintiles in 44 low- and middle-income countries demonstrates that targeted improvements in diagnosis and treatment could considerably reduce within-country, socioeconomic-based inequalites in cardiovascular disease burden.
This study identifies a fluid biomarker of TDP-43 dysfunction, a central pathological feature of the ALS–FTD disease spectrum, and demonstrates that such loss of TDP-43 splicing repression occurs presymptomatically.
Profiling of a case of secondary T cell lymphoma following anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy suggests that it was not caused by CAR insertional mutagenesis, with single-center analysis indicating that secondary T cell lymphoma risk after commercial CAR T cell treatment is low.
In a large prospective cohort of 1,090 pregnant women with a high risk of fetal genetic diseases, a cell-free DNA screening identified cases of aneuploidies, microdeletions and monogenic variants with high accuracy in concordance to standard diagnostic tests
Results from a multicenter, randomized phase 2 trial in China show that adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma with microvascular invasion leads to prolonged recurrence-free survival compared to active surveillance.
In the final report of a phase 1/2 trial evaluating allogeneic CD19-specific CAR-NK cells armored with IL-15 in patients with CD19+ hematologic malignancies, the therapy was shown to be safe and efficacious with distinct cord blood features associated with response.
Analysis of the pivotal phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial identifies tumor gene expression signatures that are uniquely predictive of anti-CD19 CAR T cell response and event-free survival in second-line treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory large B cell lymphoma.
A randomized controlled trial found that functional connectivity-guided approaches to intermittent theta burst stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation both reduced depressive symptoms in patients with moderate to severe treatment-resistant depression over 26 weeks.
In a randomized clinical trial enrolling older people living in a community setting, exergame step training on a computerized mat, but not seated cognitive training, decreased the rate of falls over the course of a year, as compared to a control group provided with an education booklet on healthy aging and fall prevention.
