Evolving Role of Viltolarsen for Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
AbstractDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most prevalent X-linked inherited neuromuscular disorders, with an estimated incidence between 1 in 3500 and 5000 live male births. The median life expectancy at birth is around 30  years due to a rapid and severe disease progression. Currently, there is no cure for DMD, and the standard of care is mainly palliative therapy and glucocorticoids to mitigate symptoms and improve quality of life. Recent advances in phosphorodiamidate morpholino antisense oligonucleotide (PMO) tec hnology has proven optimistic in providing a disease-modifying therapy rather than a palliat...

Real-World Outcomes of Individualized Targeted Therapy with Insulin Glargine 300  Units/mL in Insulin-Naïve Korean People with Type 2 Diabetes: TOBE Study
ConclusionsThis study showed that initiation of insulin therapy with Gla-300 in people with T2DM using an individualized approach is more effective in achieving an HbA1c target. Moreover, earlier initiation of insulin therapy in people with suboptimally controlled T2DM may increase the success rate of glycemic control.A graphical abstract is available with this article.Graphical Abstract (Source: Advances in Therapy)

Clinical Management of Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Brain Metastases, and Actionable Genomic Alterations: A Systematic Literature Review
ConclusionsAlthough targeted therapies demonstrate systemic benefits for patients with NSCLC, BrMs, and AGAs, there remains a continued need for effective therapies to treat and prevent BrMs in this population. Increased BBB permeability of emerging therapies may improve outcomes for this population. (Source: Advances in Therapy)

Adjusted Indirect Treatment Comparison of Progression-Free Survival with D-Rd and VRd Based on MAIA and SWOG S0777 Individual Patient-Level Data
ConclusionThis anchored ITC demonstrated a greater PFS benefit for D-Rd versus VRd in TIE patients with NDMM. In the absence of head-to-head trials comparing D-Rd and VRd, the present trial may help inform treatment selection in this patient population. (Source: Advances in Therapy)

Matching-Adjusted Indirect Comparison of Brexucabtagene Autoleucel (ZUMA-2) and Pirtobrutinib (BRUIN) in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma Previously Treated with a Covalent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase  Inhibitor
ConclusionsFindings suggest that brexu-cel may offer clinically and statistically significant benefits regarding objective response, complete response, and progression-free survival compared to pirtobrutinib among patients with R/R MCL after prior cBTKi therapy. Given the short follow-up and high degree of censoring in BRUIN, an analysis incorporating updated BRUIN data may provide more definitive overall survival results. (Source: Advances in Therapy)

Adverse Drug Events Observed with the Newly Approved Remimazolam in Comparison to Propofol for General Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Surgery: A Meta-analysis
ConclusionOur current analysis showed that the newly approved remimazolam was apparently associated with significantly fewer adverse drug events in comparison to propofol for GA in patients undergoing surgery. Therefore, this new drug should be further studied and more research with larger population sizes should be carried out to confirm this hypothesis. (Source: Advances in Therapy)
