Olaratumab, the first-in-class anti-PDGFRα monoclonal antibody, has been contingently approved in combination with doxorubicin to treat adult patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma for improving progression-free and overall survival. Olaratumab-doxorubicin combination has tolerable safety profile, which mimics that of doxorubicin monotherapy, with the exception of infusion-related reactions. Survival data of an ongoing confirmatory phase 3 trial are forthcoming to ascertain the optimal role of this product in the management algorithm of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Active research is ongoing to identify biomarkers predictive of clinical benefit to olaratumab, to expand its utility to the pediatric population, and to explore its safety and efficacy in combination with other active regimens.

The MgSb-based layered compounds exhibit exceptional thermoelectric properties over a wide temperature range and possess the potential to supplant traditional BiTe modules with reliable and economical MgSb-based thermoelectric devices, contingent upon the availability of a complementary p-type MgSb material with high thermoelectric efficiency comparable to that of n-type MgSb. We provide a simpler method involving the codoping of monovalent atoms (K and Na) at the Mg site of the MgSb lattice to improve the thermoelectric performance of p-type MgSb. K-Na codoping results in a peak power factor of around 0.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have received increasing attention from organic electronics to other related fields, such as bioapplications and photocatalysts. However, it remains a challenging task for TADF emitters to showcase the versatility concurrent with high performance in multiple applications. Herein, we first present such a proof-of-concept TADF material, namely, QCN-SAC, through strategically manipulating exciton dynamics.
