Rituximab-combined anthracycline-free chemotherapy in newly diagnosed paediatric and adolescent patients with non-high-risk aggressive mature B cell lymphoma: protocol for a single-arm, open-label, multicentre, phase II study (the Japan Childrens Cancer Group Multicentre Trial, JPLSG B-NHL-20)
Introduction Children and adolescents with mature B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) are treated with short-intensive chemotherapy. The burden of short-term and long-term toxicity is highly relative to its high cure rate in good-risk patients. Although the addition of rituximab to standard lymphome Malin B (LMB) chemotherapy markedly prolongs event-free survival and overall survival in high-risk patients, the benefit of rituximab in good-risk patients remains to be elucidated. This clinical trial will examine whether the addition of rituximab eliminates anthracyclines in good-risk patients without compromising treatment o...

Effect of the Intralesional Forms of Methylprednisolone Acetate and Methotrexate on Psoriatic Nails
Skinmed. 2024 Mar 18;22(1):35-39. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIndividuals with psoriatic nails often have a lower quality of life relative to their counterparts with healthy nails. Methotrexate (MTX), an anti-neoplastic agent, is a longstanding treatment option for nail psoriasis. In the current study, we compared the effects of MTX to that of a corticosteroid, namely, methylprednisolone acetate (i.e., Depo-Medrol®) across individuals with nail psoriasis. We used a cohort study design, and both agents were administered intralesionally. Outcome variables were based on the Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI). We quantified t...

Efficacy of intravenous high-dose methotrexate in preventing relapse to the central nervous system in R-CHOP(-like)-treated, high-risk, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients and its effect on mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that HD-MTX does not prevent, or at best, only slightly reduces the risk of CNS relapse and confers no survival benefit.PMID:38497149 | DOI:10.3324/haematol.2023.284281 (Source: Haematologica)

Conditions for modifying intraocular lenses as drug carriers for methotrexate using poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)
CONCLUSION: After determination of the required physicochemical manufacturing conditions, a drug releasing IOL was designed. A favourable release profile in an ocular pharmacokinetics model could be shown.PMID:38494950 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241239717 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)
