In ATTAIN‑2, oral orforglipron produced dose‑dependent, statistically superior weight loss and improved HbA1c versus placebo over 72 weeks in adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes, with an adverse‑event profile dominated by gastrointestinal effects.
The PreMeFen trial found inhalational methoxyflurane provided rapid, clinically meaningful pain relief at 10 minutes and was non-inferior to intranasal fentanyl and intravenous morphine in the prehospital setting, offering a practical non‑intravenous bridging option.
The MIRO‑CKD phase 2b trial found that adding the non‑steroidal MRA balcinrenone to dapagliflozin reduced albuminuria versus dapagliflozin alone in people with CKD, with dose‑dependent effects and modest hyperkalaemia rates over 12 weeks.
In DAHLIAS, intravenous nipocalimab 15 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 22 weeks significantly reduced ClinESSDAI scores versus placebo in anti‑Ro seropositive patients with moderate‑to‑severe Sjögren’s disease, with a safety profile similar to placebo.
This case series highlights the presence and clinical significance of JAK2 gene fusions across a spectrum of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, including indolent and aggressive presentations.
An international Delphi consensus produced standardized morphological definitions and practical guidance to improve investigator lesion assessment in hidradenitis suppurativa clinical trials, enhancing reliability and trial data quality.
This case series reviews clinical features, genetic variants, visual outcomes, and psychosocial impact in 28 patients with USH1C-associated Usher syndrome, highlighting slow retinal degeneration and significant social burden.
A multidisciplinary Delphi panel produced consensus morphological definitions and practical guidance to standardize investigator lesion assessments in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) clinical trials — improving reliability of endpoints such as HiSCR and IHS4.
In a large single‑institution cohort of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, proton therapy was associated with a higher 3‑year rate of osteoradionecrosis than IMRT (6.4% vs 2.7%), though severe ORN remained uncommon.
A California cohort study found a 5-year cumulative incidence of metastatic recurrence of 9.5% among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) initially diagnosed with nonmetastatic cancer; recurrence risk and post-recurrence survival varied markedly by tumor type and stage.
A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial of engasertib (AKT inhibitor) in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia showed modest reductions in epistaxis frequency and duration versus placebo and a tolerable safety profile over 12 weeks; larger, longer trials are needed.
In a phase 2a human challenge, high‑dose daily mosnodenvir substantially reduced DENV‑3 RNA burden versus placebo without serious adverse events, but treatment‑associated NS4B viral mutations emerged, highlighting efficacy and resistance concerns that require larger field studies.
In a randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled proof‑of‑concept trial, oral engasertib reduced epistaxis frequency and duration in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) with a safety profile similar to placebo except for reversible rash and occasional hyperglycemia.
A clonality evenness score (VCE) derived from HTLV‑1 integration sequencing discriminates asymptomatic carriers who later develop adult T‑cell leukaemia from those who do not, outperforming proviral load alone in individual-level prediction in a Japanese longitudinal cohort.
In BigpAK-2, a multinational randomized trial, a KDIGO-based preventive bundle triggered by tubular stress biomarkers reduced moderate or severe acute kidney injury within 72 hours after major surgery (OR 0.57; NNT 12) without increasing adverse events.
In HANSE, PLCOm2012 (6‑year risk ≥1.58%) selected more lung cancers and yielded a lower number needed to screen than NELSON criteria, supporting risk-model selection for CT screening programs, with caveats on generalisability and mortality endpoints.
SURPASS‑ET, a phase 3 randomized trial, showed ropeginterferon alfa‑2b achieved durable ELN responses in 43% of hydroxyurea‑intolerant/refractory ET patients with leukocytosis versus 6% with anagrelide, with a favorable safety profile and fewer serious adverse events.
A Japanese whole‑genome sequencing study identifies FCGR2B, specific HLA amino‑acid residues, and complement C4 copy‑number variation as independent genetic risk factors for IgG4‑related disease, with PTCH1 and a lncRNA linked to Mikulicz’s disease.
