The NH4+ cation has been stabilized in solid neon in sufficient concentration for the identification of both of its infrared-active vibrational fundamentals, which appear within a few wavenumbers of the gas-phase band centers. Systematic alteration of the concentrations and positions of introduction of NH3 and H2 in the discharge sampling experiments demonstrated that the highest yield of NH4+ resulted when both the NH3 and the H2 were introduced downstream from a discharge through pure neon. In this configuration, each of these molecules can be ionized by excited neon atoms and their resonance radiation (16.6 eV to 16.85 eV), but fragmentation is minimized. Both infrared-active vibrational fundamentals of ND4+ and several fundamentals of each of the partially deuterium-substituted isotopomers of NH4+ were also identified. Evidence is presented for complexation of NH4+ with an H atom or with one or more H2 molecules.

Purpose: BMS-986299 is a first-in-class, NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin-domain containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome agonist enhancing adaptive immune and T-cell memory responses.
Materials And Methods: This was a phase-I (NCT03444753) study that assessed the safety and tolerability of intra-tumoral BMS-986299 monotherapy (part 1A) and in combination (part 1B) with nivolumab, and ipilimumab in advanced solid tumors. Reported here are single-center results.
Autogene cevumeran with or without atezolizumab in advanced solid tumors: a phase 1 trial.

Effective targeting of somatic cancer mutations to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy requires an individualized approach. Autogene cevumeran is a uridine messenger RNA lipoplex-based individualized neoantigen-specific immunotherapy designed from tumor-specific somatic mutation data obtained from tumor tissue of each individual patient to stimulate T cell responses against up to 20 neoantigens. This ongoing phase 1 study evaluated autogene cevumeran as monotherapy (n = 30) and in combination with atezolizumab (n = 183) in pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors.

The phase 2 LITESPARK-003 study was designed to determine the antitumour activity and safety of belzutifan in combination with cabozantinib in patients with advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma that was previously untreated (cohort 1) or previously treated with immunotherapy (cohort 2). Here, we report results from cohort 1 of this clinical trial.

We have measured the spin polarization of a slow positron beam via state-selective depopulation of 2^{3}S_{1} positronium atoms, generated by passing the beam through a gas cell. Our method employs circularly polarized microwave radiation to drive 2^{3}S_{1}→2^{3}P_{1} transitions, for which either Δm_{J}=+1 or Δm_{J}=-1, and relies on the fact that asymmetries between the two cases yield the underlying positron beam polarization. Using this technique we show that the polarization of a positron beam derived from a solid neon moderator may be increased from 30% to 90% by increasing the moderator thickness, with an associated reduction in beam intensity of 60%.

Unraveling methanol's infrared spectrum has challenged spectroscopists for a century, with numerous loose ends still to be explored. We engage in this exploration based on experiments of isolating single methanol molecules in solid argon and neon matrices. We report infrared spectra of methanol in its natural isotopic composition and with partial and full deuteration.
