Importance: Prospective long-term data after retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections vs laser therapy are scarce. The FIREFLEYE (Aflibercept for ROP IVT Injection vs Laser Therapy) next trial is prospectively evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety outcomes following ROP treatment with intravitreal aflibercept vs laser therapy.
Objective: To evaluate 2-year ophthalmic and safety outcomes after 0.
Background: There are no data on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of intravitreal aflibercept in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). FIREFLEYE compared aflibercept 0.4 mg/eye and laser photocoagulation in infants with acute-phase ROP requiring treatment.

Patients And Methods: Patients (aged 6 months to <18 years) with recurrent/refractory solid tumours received oral regorafenib once daily for 3 weeks on/1 week off. The starting dose (60 mg/m) was derived from an adult physiology-based PK model and scaled to children; dose escalation was followed by safety expansion of the MTD cohort.
During the last years remission rates of more than 72% for arsenic(III)-oxide (As(2)O(3)) treatment in relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia have been published. As(2)O(3) is under clinical investigation for therapy of leukemia and solid tumors. Due to the chemical affinity of arsenic and antimony, we analyzed the potency of antimony(III)-oxide (Sb(2)O(3)) to exert As(2)O(3)-like effects.
