Evaluating the long-term effectiveness and safety of abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, node-positive, high-risk early breast cancer
The study evaluated the follow-up results of abemaciclib (Verzenio) plus endocrine (hormonal) therapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-), node-positive, and high-risk early breast cancer (BC). The data found that with a 4-year follow-up, adjuvant abemaciclib continued to show improvement in reducing the risk of recurrence in these patients.

Comparing the long-term effectiveness of accelerated partial breast irradiation using multicatheter brachytherapy with whole-breast irradiation in patients with early breast cancer
The study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of accelerated partial breast irradiation (ABPI) using multicatheter brachytherapy (BT) with whole-breast irradiation (WBI) in patients with early breast cancer (BC). The study found that ABPI using multicatheter BT was similarly effective with fewer serious side effects compared to WBI in patients with early BC after breast-conserving surgery (BCS).

Safety and effectiveness of two different doses of daily-administered ABX464 in patients with unresponsive rheumatoid arthritis.
This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of ABX464 (Obefazimod) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with inadequate responses to methotrexate (Trexall) or anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) treatment. The authors concluded that ABX464 was safe and well-tolerated with promising effectiveness in these patients at a daily dose of 50 mg.

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in patients with breast and gynecological cancer.
This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine in patients with breast and gynecological cancer. The data showed that most patients with breast and gynecological cancer developed antibodies after the second dose of the vaccine. However, the authors suggested that for non-responders or weak responders, additional immunization booster seems to be required, along with proactive planning in the vaccination schedule, with vaccine administration spaced out over time with respect to chemotherapy.
