Long-term safety and effectiveness of acalabrutinib with or without obinutuzumab versus obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This study aimed to investigate the long-term safety and effectiveness of acalabrutinib (Calquence) with or without obinutuzumab (Gazyva) versus obinutuzumab with chlorambucil (Leukeran) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that have never received treatment (treatment-naive).
This study concluded that the effectiveness of acalabrutinib-obinutuzumab treatment was maintained after 4 years in these patients.

Evaluating the risk of developing secondary rectal cancer after radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer.
This study evaluated the risk of developing secondary rectal cancer after radiotherapy (RT) in patients with prostate cancer. The data showed that RT significantly increased the risk of developing secondary rectal cancer in these patients.

Comparing the risks of developing second primary cancers over time among survivors of non-Hodgkin lymphoma versus the general population.
This study compared the risks of developing second primary cancers over time among survivors of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) versus the general population. The data showed that survivors of NHL had an increased risk of developing second primary cancers over time compared to the general population.

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of adding ixazomib to lenalidomide maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma after ASCT.
This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of adding ixazomib (Ninlaro) to lenalidomide (Revlimid) maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). The data showed that the addition of ixazomib to lenalidomide maintenance improved survival without cancer worsening with manageable side effects in these patients.

Evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of patient-reported outcome-based symptom management versus usual care in patients after lung cancer surgery.
This study evaluated the effectiveness and feasibility of patient-reported outcome (PRO)-based symptom management versus usual care in patients after lung cancer surgery. The data showed that PRO-based symptom management after lung cancer surgery showed lower symptom burden and fewer complications than usual care for up to 4 weeks after discharge.

Evaluating the effectiveness of anatomical versus non-anatomical resection in the surgery of lung metastases in patients with colorectal cancer.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of anatomical resection (AR) versus non-anatomical resection (NAR) in the surgery of lung metastases for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The data showed AR significantly improved cancer-specific survival outcomes compared to NAR in the surgery of lung metastases for patients with CRC.

Evaluating the combined daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone therapy for patients with multiple myeloma, based on frailty levels.
This study compared the effectiveness and safety of using daratumumab (Darzalex) with lenalidomide (Revlimid) and dexamethasone (Decadron)(D-Rd) to lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) treatment in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), based on frailty levels. The data showed that D-Rd was more effective than Rd at improving progression-free survival in these patients, regardless of frailty level after 3 years.

Can filgotinib affect patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
This study investigated the effect of filgotinib (Jyseleca) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients that had active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study showed that filgotinib improved PROs in these patients and can be a treatment option for patients with insufficient responses to methotrexate (Otrexup; MTX), biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), and those that are MTX-naive (have never received MTX).

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of mosunetuzumab for patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of mosunetuzumab (RG7828) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The data showed that mosunetuzumab resulted in long-lasting complete responses with manageable side effects for these patients.

Comparing the effectiveness and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for triple-negative breast cancer.
This study compared the effectiveness and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The data showed that ICI plus chemotherapy was more effective than chemotherapy alone and was associated with a higher rate of side effects in patients with TNBC.
