Unlabelled: RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a progressive multisystem disorder that requires a special focus on the delivery of health and rehabilitation. The aim of the study was to identify the needs and interventions in patients with DM1 referred to a national rehabilitation hospital and to illustrate the needs and interventions in relation to predefined subgroups of disease classification.
Method: Electronic medical records from the period 2000-2019 of a randomized sample of patients with DM1 (N = 193) were reviewed to identify rehabilitation needs and interventions. The sample was classified into four subgroups of disease classifications. The number of identified needs and interventions were presented as medians and range, and differences between subgroups were illustrated by Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance. The needs were categorized using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).
Results: A total of 2099 needs and 2103 interventions were registered. The most frequent needs were coordination of healthcare services (480) and employment and income (363), while the most frequent interventions were counselling (835) and follow-up (386). Patients with congenital DM1 had the most needs and interventions per person. In relation to the ICF, the most registered needs were environmental factors (880) and activity and participation (848).
Conclusion: All subgroups of patients with DM1 had a substantial number of needs and interventions related to coordinating and navigating within the healthcare system. The subgroup of patients with congenital DM1 had the most needs and interventions compared to the other subgroups.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of trastuzumab emtansine for second-line treatment of HER2+ advanced breast cancer in Singapore.
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res

Agency for Care Effectiveness, Ministry of Health, Singapore.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) compared to both lapatinib plus capecitabine (lapcap) and trastuzumab plus capecitabine (trascap) for treating human epidermal growth factor 2-positive advanced breast cancer patients, who have received prior treatment with trastuzumab and a taxane, in Singapore.
Research Design And Methods: A three-state partitioned survival model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness from the local healthcare system perspective. Key effectiveness data, including progression-free survival and overall survival from the pivotal EMILIA trial, were used alongside local clinician inputs.

Background: Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant systemic therapy have a high risk of recurrence and death. The primary analysis of KATHERINE, a phase 3, open-label trial, showed that the risk of invasive breast cancer or death was 50% lower with adjuvant trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) than with trastuzumab alone.
Methods: We randomly assigned patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer with residual invasive disease in the breast or axilla after neoadjuvant systemic treatment with taxane-based chemotherapy and trastuzumab to receive T-DM1 or trastuzumab for 14 cycles.

Objective: DESTINY-Breast03, a randomised, phase 3 trial, evaluated trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) versus trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-positive unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who progressed on or after treatment with trastuzumab and a taxane. At the current data cut off overall survival analysis, T-DXd demonstrated a substantial improvement in overall survival over T-DM1. This secondary analysis use of DESTINY-Breast03 aimed to further evaluate the treatment differences using quality-adjusted survival time without symptoms or toxicity (Q-TWiST) methods.

Purpose Of Review: In this review, we discuss evidence supporting the use of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in breast cancer treatment, describe novel ADCs and combination regimens under development, and examine our current understanding of resistance mechanisms and biomarkers to guide ADC selection and sequencing.
Recent Findings: Three ADCs have proven benefit in patients with metastatic breast cancer: trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), and sacituzumab govitecan (SG). There are over two hundred investigational ADCs on the horizon, as pre-clinical studies work to identify novel ADC targets and structures.
