A remotely delivered structured weight management programme appears effective and safe in reducing symptoms that matter most among individuals with long COVID (LC) and overweight, findings from the wait-list-controlled open-label ReDIRECT trial suggest.

The prespecified final analysis of the phase III CHOICE-01 trial of toripalimab in combination with chemotherapy shows significant improvement in overall survival (OS) in treatment-naïve patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without EGFR/ALK driver mutations.

Using the AppO2, a mobile app designed for the clinical monitoring of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on home oxygen (HO) therapy, helps improve the quality of life of these individuals, reports a study.

In the 7-year update of the phase III ALESIA trial, alectinib outdoes crizotinib for Asian patients with treatment-naïve, advanced or metastatic ALK+ non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

First-line treatment with osimertinib plus platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy (CTx) induces significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) among Asian patients with EGFR-mutated advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is similar with the results seen in the global population of the FLAURA2 study.

The addition of retifanlimab to platinum-based chemotherapy results in better overall survival in patients with metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as shown in the phase III study POD1UM-304 presented at ESMO Asia 2024. Moreover, the combination treatment has a safety profile consistent with that of other checkpoint inhibitors.
