Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) is a CD33-targeting antibody-drug conjugate approved for the treatment of CD33-positive de novo and relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Subset analyses have demonstrated improved clinical outcomes in patients with favorable-risk disease. It is unclear whether the addition of GO to cytarabine and anthracycline chemotherapy (7+3) improves clinical outcomes compared with other conventional regimens for AML.

Methods: The co-designed study comprised an interrupted time series with controls. Availability, affordability, accessibility and sales of foods in the community retail stores on the APY Lands were monitored regularly from 2014 to mid-2022, including by local research teams.
The ever-increasing complexity and demand for antineoplastic therapy necessitates innovative solutions to improve the accuracy and safety of drug preparation. To evaluate the utilization of an advanced robotic chemotherapy drug compounding system (APOTECAchemo) at a Community Cancer Center (CCC), examining accuracy, efficiency, and staff perceptions. This single-center, retrospective study evaluated the preparation of 7 intravenous (IV) antineoplastics at a CCC over a 1-year period.

BAY 292 is a novel drug candidate being developed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) via binding to central αR. autoradiography studies with sections from non-diseased post-mortem human caudate revealed an excellent specific binding window (>80%) using [H]ORM-13070.
