Unlabelled: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve endurance performance.

Purpose: We investigated the concurrent impact of HIIT and blood-flow restriction (BFR) as a novel approach to further enhance maximal aerobic and anaerobic physiology and performances in trained athletes.

Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, eighteen endurance-trained males (V ̇O2peak 65.

Background: The use of first-line poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy is increasing in advanced ovarian cancer. Understanding the efficacy of first subsequent therapy (FST) in patients experiencing disease progression in the first-line setting is important to optimize postprogression treatments. We evaluated the efficacy of FST in patients from PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 (NCT02477644) who received first-line olaparib maintenance.

Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common side effect of cancer and cancer treatment that significantly impairs the quality of life and can persist for years after treatment completion. Although fatigue is often associated with cancer treatment, it is also a result of the disease itself, even before intervention. CRF at the time of diagnosis may affect treatment timing or completion and is a consistent predictor of post-treatment fatigue at any time.

Article Synopsis
  • Single-agent oral vinorelbine is a recommended treatment for advanced breast cancer that has progressed after hormone therapy, with metronomic dosing potentially offering better safety and efficacy.
  • A phase II trial compared metronomic administration (50 mg three times a week) with a weekly schedule (60 mg/m initially, increasing to 80 mg/m) in 163 patients, measuring disease control rate (DCR).
  • Results showed DCR was 63.4% for the metronomic group and 72.8% for the weekly group, with the weekly regimen resulting in longer progression-free and overall survival but also more side effects; both schedules are viable options for treatment.

Objective: In the PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial (NCT02477644), adding maintenance olaparib to bevacizumab provided a substantial progression-free survival benefit in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive tumors, irrespective of clinical risk. Subsequently, a clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival was reported with olaparib plus bevacizumab in the HRD-positive subgroup. We report updated progression-free survival and overall survival by clinical risk and HRD status.
