Panelists conclude that sNfL can be used as a biomarker to assess response totreatment in future trials. In the clinic setting, it could become valuable in directingtherapy; for example, in cases in which the patient is absent clinical signs of aggressiveMS and it’s unclear if they will benefit from infused, injected, or oral disease-modifyingtherapy.

Treatment resistance affects nearly half of all young people experiencing moderate-to-severe anxiety. In this 12-week open-label trial, patients received add-on CBD after noclinical improvement on therapy with CBT and/or antidepressant medication. There wasa more than 40% reduction in mean OASIS scores and no serious or unexpectedadverse events.

The meta-analysis included data from nearly 13,000 patients across 30 published trials. Grade 3 or 4 AEs occurred in nearly 70% of patents receiving TKIs compared with 37% for those receiving ICIs.

When immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy was started, detectable levels of acetaminophen in the plasma were linked to significantly poorer PFS and OS. The fact that poorer clinical outcomes were demonstrated to be unrelated to other prognostic variables, such as age, performance status, the quantity of past lines of therapy, and tumor kind, is noteworthy.

Results from the phase 1b CodeBreak 100/1 trial show that administering the novel KRASinhibitor sotorasib alone prior to combining it with an immune checkpoint inhibitor led tolower rates of grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events compared with beginningadministration of the treatments concurrently.

At 12 months, nivolumab plus chemotherapy yielded a PFS of 89.3% versus 60.7% forchemotherapy alone and an OS of 98.2% compared with 82.1%, respectively. Thecombination improved median PFS by 52% compared with chemotherapy alone at amedian follow-up of 26.1 months.
