Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of carvedilol versus placebo on cardiac function in anthracycline-exposed survivors of childhood cancer (PREVENT-HF): a randomised, controlled, phase 2b trial.
Carvedilol improves cardiac function in patients with heart failure but remains untested as cardioprotective therapy in long-term childhood cancer survivors (ie, those who have completed treatment for childhood cancer and are in remission) at risk for heart failure due to high-dose anthracycline exposure. We aimed to evaluate the activity and safety of low-dose carvedilol for heart failure risk reduction in childhood cancer survivors at highest risk for heart failure. ⋯ National Cancer Institute, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, St Baldrick's Foundation, Altschul Foundation, Rally Foundation, American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities.

Actinium-225 (225Ac) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligand therapy (RLT) is a novel therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We aimed to report the safety and antitumour activity of 225Ac-PSMA RLT of mCRPC in a large cohort of patients treated at multiple centres across the world. ⋯ None.

Randomized Controlled TrialLow-dose versus standard-dose olanzapine with triple antiemetic therapy for prevention of highly emetogenic chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with solid tumours: a single-centre, open-label, non-inferiority, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial.
Olanzapine is an effective antiemetic agent but it results in substantial daytime somnolence when administered at the standard dose. Our aim was to compare the efficacy of low-dose versus standard-dose olanzapine after highly emetogenic chemotherapy in patients with solid tumours. ⋯ Progressive Ladies Welfare Association.
