Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Bimekizumab efficacy and safety in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (BE READY): a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised withdrawal phase 3 trial.
Bimekizumab is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin (IL)-17F in addition to IL-17A. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, the effects of treatment withdrawal, and two maintenance dosing schedules over 56 weeks. ⋯ UCB Pharma.

To assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of erenumab in a real-life migraine population, while trying to identify responsiveness predictors. ⋯ Erenumab 70 mg is effective, safe, and well tolerated in real life. Easily obtainable clinical features might be of help in predicting patient's responsiveness.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
First-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab in unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (CheckMate 743): a multicentre, randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial.
Approved systemic treatments for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have been limited to chemotherapy regimens that have moderate survival benefit with poor outcomes. Nivolumab plus ipilimumab has shown clinical benefit in other tumour types, including first-line non-small-cell lung cancer. We hypothesised that this regimen would improve overall survival in MPM. ⋯ Bristol Myers Squibb.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical study of the "improved sitting Wuqinxi" intervention for mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit.
Mechanical ventilation is a powerful tool for the treatment of various critical emergencies. However, surviving critically ill patients often have poor psychological and physiological outcomes. Prevention of various complications and adverse outcomes of mechanical ventilation is a priority and a challenge in the intensive care unit (ICU). Early intervention is the key to reducing complications and improving outcomes of mechanical ventilation in the ICU. As an auxiliary rehabilitation treatment, the improved sitting Wuqinxi intervention has recognized unique advantages. It has achieved beneficial therapeutic effects during early intervention in clinical practice. It can reduce the incidence of delirium, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation, and prevent complications and secondary damages related to mechanical ventilation in the ICU. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to explore the effect of improved sitting Wuqinxi on the clinical outcomes of mechanically ventilated ICU patients. ⋯ The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the effect of the improved sitting Wuqinxi intervention on the incidence of complications, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, cost of hospitalization, and safety indicators. If successful, it will provide a reliable, simple, and feasible auxiliary rehabilitation treatment scheme for mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

Multicenter Study
The effectiveness and safety of lienal polypeptide combined with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer patients in real world.
Chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy are still the fundamental treatment for advanced lung cancers. To reduce side effects and improve life quality, lienal polypeptide (LP) could be used in combine with chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy. Moreover, LP could regulate immune system and possibly reduce the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. ⋯ The overall adverse effect rates were non-significantly different with 9.9% in the LP group and 9.3% in the non-LP group (P = .6767). In conclusion, our research results indicated that LP used in combination with chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy was a safe and effective treatment for patients of advanced lung cancer. LP could also reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy, thereby improving patients' life qualities, and potentially improving prognosis.
