Previous treatment with anthracycline does not affect the course of sepsis in cancer patients: Retrospective cohort study.

Background: Cancer patients who are exposed to sepsis and had previous chemotherapy may have increased severity. Among chemotherapeutic agents, anthracyclines have been associated with cardiac toxicity. Like other chemotherapeutic agents, they may cause endothelial toxicity.

Durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination with metronomic oral vinorelbine for recurrent advanced cervical cancer: an open-label phase I/II study.

Background: The MOVIE phase I/II trial (NCT03518606) evaluated the safety and antitumor activity of durvalumab and tremelimumab combined with metronomic oral vinorelbine in patients with advanced tumors. We present the results of the recurrent advanced cervical cancer cohort.

Methods: Patients received tremelimumab (intravenously, 75 mg, every four weeks (Q4W); four cycles max) plus durvalumab (intravenously, 1,500 mg, Q4W; 26 cycles max) and metronomic oral vinorelbine (40 mg, every three weeks (3QW)) until disease progression.

Phase I trials of single-agent new drugs in head and neck cancer: a scoping review.

Background: The conventional method of drug development in oncology typically progresses through phase I, phase II and randomized phase III trials. Nevertheless, some recent drug approvals for head and neck cancer (HNC) relied on findings from single-arm phase II trials. This underscores the significance of disease-specific phase I trials as a crucial step in exploring new drugs for HNC patients.
