Amivantamab plus chemo tied to better outcomes in NSCLC
Treatment with amivantamab (ami) in combination with chemotherapy (chemo) results in substantially longer time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), time to subsequent therapy (TTST), and progression-free survival (PFS) after first subsequent therapy (PFS2) in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following progression on osimertinib, as shown in a postprogression analysis.

Retrievable tPA-anchored nanorobots may improve thrombolysis in ischaemic stroke
Researchers in a cross-disciplinary team from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed retrievable nanorobots anchored with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA-nbots) that increase thrombolysis rates by 20 times with a 42-fold lower tPA dose than pure tPA treatment. With a catheter-assisted magnetic navigation system, the tPA-nbots recanalized distal and small vessel branches, showing potential in reducing brain damage and treatment side effects among patients with ischaemic stroke.

Familial pulmonary fibrosis as aggressive as sporadic IPF
Patients with familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) share an equally aggressive disease progression as those with sporadic idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) even though they are younger and less exposed to tobacco, reveals a study.
