Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyAdjuvant tamoxifen and exemestane in women with postmenopausal early breast cancer (TEAM): 10-year follow-up of a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial.
After 5 years of median follow-up, the Tamoxifen Exemestane Adjuvant Multinational (TEAM) trial reported no difference in disease-free survival between exemestane monotherapy and a sequential scheme of tamoxifen followed by exemestane in postmenopausal patients with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. As recurrence risk in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer remains linear beyond 5 years after diagnosis, we analysed long-term follow-up outcomes of this trial. ⋯ Pfizer, Dutch Cancer Foundation.

Multicenter StudyTAS-102 plus bevacizumab for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to standard therapies (C-TASK FORCE): an investigator-initiated, open-label, single-arm, multicentre, phase 1/2 study.
In patients with heavily treated metastatic colorectal cancer, TAS-102-a combination of trifluridine and tipiracil-has shown a significant overall survival benefit compared with placebo. In preclinical models, TAS-102 plus bevacizumab has shown enhanced activity against colorectal cancer xenografts compared with that for either drug alone. In this phase 1/2 study, we assessed the activity and safety of TAS-102 plus bevacizumab. ⋯ Taiho Pharmaceutical.
