Thirty patients with newly diagnosed symtomatic MM (multiple myeloma) received ASCT (autologous stem cell transplantation) and two cycles of bortezomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone as consolidation treatment followed by maintenance of bortezomib for 24 months. 16 patients achieved complete response (CR) after ASCT, and two more patients achieved CR after consolidation therapy. At 92 months of follow-up, the median OS was 69.5 months, the median PFS was 38.5 months. OS and PFS in the high-risk group were shorter than in the standard-risk group with a statistically significant difference ( = 0.028, 0.049; respectively). Post-ASCT consolidation and maintenance therapy using bortezomib were effective in patients with MM.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is initially highly sensitive to chemotherapy, which often leads to significant tumor reduction. However, the majority of patients eventually develop resistance, and the disease is further complicated by its "cold" tumor microenvironment, characterized by low tumor immunogenicity and limited CD8+ T cell infiltration. These factors contribute to the poor response to immunotherapy in many cases of extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC).

The phase III IFM2020-02-MIDAS study (NCT04934475) assessed a minimal residual disease (MRD)-driven consolidation and maintenance strategy following induction with isatuximab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IsaKRD). Here, we report safety and efficacy outcomes of six 28-day cycles of IsaKRD.

Background: GALOP investigators developed a prospective cooperative protocol for localized Ewing sarcoma (ES) incorporating interval-compressed chemotherapy (VDC/IE, vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide/ifosfamide and etoposide). After completing conventional treatment, patients were randomized to 1 year of metronomic chemotherapy (vinblastine and cyclophosphamide).
Methods: Phase III randomized prospective trial.

Background: Implementation of physical activity (PA) initiatives within the scope of Primary Health Care (PHC) is still a challenge for the field of public health. It is necessary to consolidate operational processes to promote PA in the daily lives of patients in PHC. The use of implementation science has significant potential for advancing PA initiatives.

Background: Several clinical trials, including the recently published the GRAND PLAN study from Vancouver Infectious Diseases Center (VIDC), have demonstrated the efficacy of hepatitis C (HCV) therapy among active drug users, including those facing significant addiction-related and social challenges. In the GRAND PLAN, we documented sustained virological response post-treatment Week12 (SVR12) in 108/117 (92.3 %) individuals (108/111 (mITT) or 97.
