PAXG Challenges mFOLFIRINOX as the New Standard for Preoperative Pancreatic Cancer Care: Insights from the CASSANDRA Trial

The Phase 3 CASSANDRA trial reveals that the four-drug PAXG regimen significantly improves event-free survival compared to mFOLFIRINOX in patients with resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, potentially redefining neoadjuvant standards for this aggressive malignancy.

Short-Course Romosozumab Followed by Denosumab Is Non-Inferior to Standard 12-Month Regimen for Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

The LIDA trial demonstrates that a 3-month abbreviated course of romosozumab followed by denosumab is non-inferior to the standard 12-month regimen in increasing total hip bone mineral density, potentially reducing treatment costs and injection burden for high-risk postmenopausal women.

Scaling Tobacco Cessation in HIV Care: National Quitlines as an Effective Alternative to Resource-Intensive Interventions

A landmark pragmatic randomized controlled trial in Vietnam reveals that proactive Quitline referrals are as effective as nurse-led counseling and nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation among people living with HIV, offering a scalable model for low- and middle-income countries.

Digital Imagery-Competing Task Intervention Significantly Reduces Intrusive Memories in Trauma-Exposed Healthcare Staff: Evidence from the GAINS-02 Bayesian Trial

A Bayesian adaptive randomized clinical trial reveals that a digital imagery-competing task intervention (ICTI) significantly reduces the frequency of intrusive memories and PTSD symptoms among healthcare workers exposed to pandemic-related trauma, providing a scalable, evidence-based tool for occupational mental health.

Beyond Information Delivery: Why Survivorship Care Plans Alone May Not Reduce Cardiovascular Risk in Cancer Survivors

This article examines the CHIIP study, a randomized clinical trial evaluating whether survivorship care plan-based counseling improves cardiovascular risk factor control in childhood cancer survivors. Findings suggest that while documentation improved, counseling did not significantly outperform simple risk assessments.

Enhanced Care, Regardless of Format, Reduces Postpartum Depression in High-Risk Populations: Insights from the EMBRACE Trial

The EMBRACE randomized clinical trial demonstrates that both enhanced group and enhanced individual prenatal care significantly reduce postpartum depressive symptoms in low-income, diverse populations, suggesting that addressing social determinants of health is more critical than the specific delivery format of care.

Beyond Monotherapy: Combined High-Intensity Circuit Training and Sleep Health Intervention Synergistically Enhances Sleep and Cardiometabolic Outcomes

A randomized clinical trial demonstrates that combining high-intensity circuit training (HICT) with sleep health (SH) counseling significantly outperforms mono-interventions in improving sleep efficiency, reducing wakefulness, and enhancing cardiometabolic markers in sedentary young women.
