Clinical best practices in optimal monitoring, early diagnosis, and effective management of antibody-drug conjugate-induced interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis: a multidisciplinary team approach in Singapore.

Introduction: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis remains an important adverse event identified with treatment with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Drug-induced ILD (DILD) accounts for 3%-5% of common ILD cases and is a significant problem in clinical practice. Hence, with the anticipation of the widespread use of ADCs, it will be important for guidelines and recommendations to be established to direct and standardize the management of DILD by a multidisciplinary team (MDT).

Real-world outcomes from use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in the management of advanced/metastatic breast cancer in Asia.

Background: Oestrogen receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed BC subtype. Combinations of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) with anti-oestrogen therapy have led to improved survival compared with anti-oestrogen therapy alone for advanced/metastatic BC. The evaluation of CDK4/6i in the real-world facilitates treatment planning, insights into the incidence of drug toxicities, dose modifications including dose delays (DDs) and dose reductions (DRs) and improves prognostic accuracy in subgroups, for example geriatric patients, who are under-represented in clinical trials.

HLA Class II regulation of immune response in sickle cell disease patients: Susceptibility to red blood cell alloimmunization (systematic review and meta-analysis).

Background And Objectives: Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients are commonly treated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Pretransfusion tests commonly involve limited serological antibody testing. RBC alloimmunization to RBC antigens is a frequently encountered complication seen in chronically transfused patients.
