The multitarget faecal immunochemical test for improving stool-based colorectal cancer screening programmes: a Dutch population-based, paired-design, intervention study.
The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) is widely employed for colorectal cancer screening. However, its sensitivity for advanced precursor lesions remains suboptimal. The multitarget FIT (mtFIT), measuring haemoglobin, calprotectin, and serpin family F member 2, has demonstrated enhanced sensitivity for advanced neoplasia, especially advanced adenomas, at equal specificity to FIT. This study aimed to prospectively validate and investigate the clinical utlitity of mtFIT versus FIT in a setting of population-based colorectal cancer screening. ⋯ Stand Up to Cancer, Dutch Cancer Society, Dutch Digestive Foundation, and Health~Holland.

Pivekimab sunirine (IMGN632), a novel CD123-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia: a phase 1/2 study.
Pivekimab sunirine (IMGN632) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate comprising a high-affinity CD123 antibody, cleavable linker, and novel indolinobenzodiazepine pseudodimer payload. CD123 is overexpressed in several haematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukaemia. We present clinical data on pivekimab sunirine in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia. ⋯ ImmunoGen.
