  • This study focused on metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), examining the survival outcomes of first-line immuno-oncological (ICI) regimens compared to single-agent tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in Saudi Arabian patients.
  • A total of 84 patients diagnosed with clear cell mRCC were analyzed, showing a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9.7 months and an overall survival (OS) of 42.0 months, with no significant difference between treatment groups.
  • The results indicated that first-line single-agent ICI therapy demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity and survival outcomes similar to both ICI-based combinations and TKIs, with liver metastasis and lower performance status being significant

Objectives:  This study aimed to assess the disease activity indices (DAI) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by telephone-based tele-visits compared to face-to-face clinic encounters.

Methods: Patients with RA attending outpatient clinics between December 2021 and May 2022 were prospectively recruited. Disease activity assessments were initially performed in the clinic using the disease activity score 28-C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) and disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR).
