The combination vaccine candidates will be evaluated in 2 separate phase 1/2 clinical trials.

PLT012 demonstrates its potential against multiple tumors with unmet medical needs.

Two studies found a 2-bag regimen of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) resulted in fewer and shorter delays in treatment as well as decreases in cutaneous non-allergic anaphylactoid reactions.

This builds off prior data that showed safety and efficacy of CD19 and CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in children with relapsed or refractory B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

If approved, the treatment will be the first and only once-daily, oral selective somatostatin receptor type 2 nonpeptide agonist available for acromegaly.

Children born moderate to late preterm also showed more behavior difficulties compared with those born early term or later.

The authors suggest that targeted interventions to mitigate financial toxicity should be implemented to better support patients.

The indication is for adults with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) whose disease has not progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT; Kelun Pharmaceutical, Merck) is currently being studied to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the TroFuse-004 and TroFuse-009 trials.

These risks were observed to become higher as gestational age decreased.

The authors recommend that longer assessments with lengthier interventions should be performed to assess potential benefits.

If approved, the new indications include children 6 years and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and children 5 years and older with active juvenile psoriatic arthritis.

When different skin tones are considered in imaging systems, women will receive more equitable screening and care.

Asthma onset earlier in childhood may be linked to more severe difficulties that could extend to executive function abilities.
