Background: Furmonertinib (AST2818) is a brain penetrant pan-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting both EGFR sensitizing mutations and T790M mutation. We report the pooled central nervous system (CNS) efficacy data of furmonertinib in patients with EGFR T790M mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from two phase 2 studies.
Methods: This was a pooled, post-hoc analysis of two phase 2 studies (NCT03127449 [phase 2a study of furmonertinib], NCT03452592 [phase 2b study of furmonertinib]). In the phase 2a study, patients received furmonertinib 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg, or 240 mg orally once daily. In the phase 2b study, all patients received furmonertinib 80 mg orally once daily. CNS efficacy of furmonertinib was analyzed in patients with baseline CNS lesions by an independent review center per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.
Results: A total of 132 patients with baseline CNS metastases were included in this analysis. In 52 patients with measurable CNS lesions, CNS objective response rates were zero (0/1), 65% (22/34), 85% (11/13), and 25% (1/4), and CNS disease control rates were zero (0/1), 97% (33/34), 100% (13/13), and 100% (4/4) in the 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg, and 240 mg orally once daily group, respectively. In patients with measurable or non-measurable CNS lesions, median CNS progression-free survival was 2.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-8.3), 11.6 months (95% CI 8.3-13.8), 19.3 months (95% CI 5.5-not available [NA]), and not reached (95% CI 2.8 months-NA) in the 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg, and 240 mg orally once daily group, respectively.
Conclusions: Furmonertinib showed promising CNS efficacy in doses of 80 mg orally once daily or higher in patients with EGFR T790M mutated NSCLC.
Trial Registration: Both studies were registered on ClinicalTrial.gov. The phase 2a study was registered with NCT03127449 on April 25, 2017; The phase 2b study was registered with NCT03452592 on March 2, 2018.

Background: Prevention of iron deficiency in suckling piglets by intramuscular injection of a standardized amount of iron dextran or gleptoferron in the first days of life can lead to over- or underdosage with respective health risks. Currently, combined iron products containing an active substance against coccidia are also used on farms. When using a combination product targeting two diseases, an adjustment of the necessary amount of iron to prevent anaemia in the frame of a farm-specific treatment protocol is not possible.

Introduction: Osimertinib is the first-line treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have EGFR mutations and favorable performance status (PS). Despite increasing clinical data on osimertinib, evidence in patients with an impaired PS remains limited. Therefore, a multicenter phase II trial (OPEN/TORG2040) was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line osimertinib for patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC and poor PS.

Human dentin performs its function throughout life, even though it is not remodeled like bone. Therefore, dentin must have extreme durability against daily repetitive loading. Elucidating its durability requires a comprehensive understanding of its shape, structure, and anisotropy at various levels of its structure.

Background: Sleep disturbances are associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary tauopathies. We have previously shown that APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for AD, directly influences the severity of key pathological hallmarks of neurodegeneration including tau deposition, microglial reactivity and brain atrophy. Sleep loss influences tau accumulation and microglial reactivity in both mice and humans, suggesting that sleep loss may contribute to neurodegeneration not only by influencing protein aggregation, but also through an immune mechanism.

Background: This pilot study addresses unmet needs for empirical evidence on real-world data (RWD) on sleep to inform pharmacological management in older adults at-risk for neurodegenerative conditions. Polypharmacy is prevalent among older adults, with potential adverse effects on physiological functions, including sleep. Sleep disturbances are prevalent in aging, may signal onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), potentially contributing to the underlying pathology.
