Article Synopsis
  • The ELITor study analyzed real-world data from the CHIEF cohort to understand treatment patterns and patient characteristics for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in France, focusing on sociodemographic, clinical, and quality of life factors.
  • A total of 367 patients were included, with most presenting at advanced BCLC C stage and a high prevalence of cirrhosis; alcohol was identified as the main cause of the disease.
  • Results showed that tyrosine-kinase inhibitors were the most common systemic treatment, and patients receiving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab demonstrated better health statuses, although many experienced a decline in health quality post-treatment.

Introduction: The subcutaneous (H-SC) formulation of trastuzumab was demonstrated to be as effective and safe as intravenous (H-IV) and highly preferred by patients in early breast cancer. The present randomized MetaspHER trial (NCT01810393) has been the first study assessing patient's preference in metastatic setting and we report the final analysis with long term follow-up.

Methods: Patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who completed a first line chemotherapy with trastuzumab and achieved a long terms response lasting more than 3 years were randomized to receive 3 cycles of 600 mg fixed-dose H-SC, followed by 3 cycles of standard H-IV, or the reverse sequence.

Background: Our objective was to describe the hospital-based systemic treatment sequences in early stage HER2+ breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab in France in 2016.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was based on the national hospital discharge database (PMSI). Patients hospitalized for breast cancer in 2016 and administration of trastuzumab between 6 months prior and 1 year after surgery were included.

Background: The open-label, randomised Phase 2 AVATAXHER study (NCT01142778) demonstrated that early PET assessment identified HER2-positive breast cancer patients who responded poorly to neoadjuvant docetaxel plus trastuzumab. Adding neoadjuvant bevacizumab for PET-predicted poor-responders improved pathological complete response (pCR) rates (43.8% vs 24.

Clinical trials that combine medical therapy and surgical treatment pose a number of challenges. The ANTHALYA trial investigated the efficacy and safety of adding bevacizumab to neoadjuvant carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy prior to interval debulking surgery (IDS) in patients with ovarian cancer. The success of the trial depended on the efficacy and the safety of the combination and on the surgical effort.

Aim: To investigate whether adding bevacizumab to neoadjuvant carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP) helps achieve optimal debulking, measured by complete resection rate (CRR) at interval debulking surgery (IDS), in patients with initially unresectable International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIC/IV ovarian, tubal or peritoneal adenocarcinoma.

Methods: Multicentre, open-label, non-comparative phase II study. Ninety-five patients randomised (2:1) to receive four cycles of neoadjuvant CP ±3 concomitant cycles of bevacizumab 15 mg/kg (BCP) followed by IDS.
