Venetoclax and CLAD/LDAC alternating with venetoclax and 5-AZA is an effective regimen among older or unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML. The rates of overall survival and DFS are encouraging....


Conclusion: Venetoclax and CLAD/LDAC alternating with venetoclax and 5-AZA is an effective regimen among older or unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML. The rates of overall survival and DFS are encouraging. Further study of this non-anthracycline-containing backbone in younger patients, unfit for intensive chemotherapy, as well as...

Pegfilgrastim is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor agent used in patients receiving myelosuppressive therapy with chemotherapy or radiation. Two adverse effects associated with this agent include capillary leak syndrome and leukocytosis....


Conclusion/Relevance: Pegfilgrastim is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor agent used in patients receiving myelosuppressive therapy with chemotherapy or radiation. Two adverse effects associated with this agent include capillary leak syndrome and leukocytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient who developed both systemic...

Emerging role of biosimilars in the clinical care of inflammatory bowel disease patients

Source : https://www.wjgnet.com/2307-8960/full/v10/i14/4327.htm

The idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) phenotypically presents as ulcerative colitis (UC) and as Crohn's disease (CD). Unlike UC, which exclusively affects the colon's mucosal layer, CD damages all layers...


Core Tip: There is limited evidence on the safety and use of biosimilars other than Infliximab. This review explores the role of biosimilars in an era of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α drug as a treatment option for inflammatory bowel disease. The approval of biosimilars by the Food and Drug Administration or European Medicines Agency based on...
