De-escalating ticagrelor monotherapy reduces bleeding in ACS

04 Mar 2025

De-escalation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to ticagrelor monotherapy results in a decreased risk for major bleeding compared with standard DAPT among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, reports a study.

MERLIN: Brolucizumab not inferior to aflibercept in nAMD

04 Mar 2025 by

Two-year treatment with brolucizumab 6 mg every 4 weeks demonstrates noninferiority in mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), with superior anatomic outcomes, to aflibercept 2 mg every 4 weeks in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), as shown in the MERLIN study.

Oestradiol patches bump up ADT armamentarium for prostate cancer

04 Mar 2025 by

Findings from a phase II trial demonstrate the potential of transdermal oestradiol (tE2) patches as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for men with metastatic (M1) prostate cancer who are on androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI).

Age does not influence ferric derisomaltose treatment outcomes

03 Mar 2025

In the treatment of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and iron deficiency, the use of ferric derisomaltose appears to result in similar outcomes across age groups, according to data from the open-label IRONMAN trial.

GLP-1RAs lower depression risk in older adults with T2D

03 Mar 2025

The incidence of depression among older adults with type 2 diabetes is low, and the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) helps reduce the risk of depression relative to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is), but not sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is).

Sotagliflozin: First SGLT inhibitor to show ischaemic benefit

01 Mar 2025

The dual sodium–glucose co-transporter (SGLT) 1/2 inhibitor sotagliflozin appears to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), especially myocardial infarction and stroke—a benefit that has not been previously observed with other drugs of the same class—in patients with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and additional cardiovascular risk, according to the secondary analysis of the SCORED trial.

JAK inhibitors tied to high remission rates in older adults with IBD

01 Mar 2025 by

Treatment with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, particularly tofacitinib and upadacitinib, was associated with high rates of clinical, endoscopic, and histologic remission in older adults with moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to a study presented at CCC 2025.
