Rationale & Objective: Valid measures of side effects are important to inform clinical use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs). This study sought to develop and establish the content validity of a PRO measure to capture side effects among kidney transplant recipients taking CNIs.
Study Design: Qualitative interviews for concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing.
Radiotherapy Quality Assurance in the SCOPE2 Trial: What Lessons can be Learned for the Next UK Trial in Oesophageal Cancer?
Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol)
December 2024
Aims: The SCOPE2 trial evaluates radiotherapy (RT) dose escalation for oesophageal cancer. We report findings from the accompanying RT quality assurance (RTQA) programme and identify recommendations for PROTIEUS, the next UK trial in oesophageal RT.
Maetrials And Methods: SCOPE2's RTQA programme consisted of a pre-accrual and on-trial component.
Background: Multiple broadly neutralising monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are in development for HIV-1 prevention. The aim of this trial was to test the PGT121.414.

- In recent rural U.S. studies, individuals who use drugs (PWUD) are increasingly combining opioids with stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine.
- Among 2,705 PWUD surveyed, 74% reported using both opioids and stimulants, with 76% having undergone hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing.
- Those who used opioids alone had lower rates of HCV testing, and those using both opioids and stimulants were less likely to have received anti-HCV medication compared to those using other drugs.

Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder causing motor and cognitive issues, and current treatments mainly address symptoms.
- This study explored the combination of Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) with a virtual reality platform called Computer-Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) to enhance rehabilitation for PD patients.
- Results showed significant cognitive improvements in the experimental group using NMT and CAREN, indicating this method could be a more effective way to address cognitive deficits in PD compared to traditional approaches.
