The randomized phase 2 ROME trial showed that genomically matched, MTB-guided therapy increased overall response rate and progression-free survival versus standard care in heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors, supporting a tumor-agnosti
In the APOSTEL 8 randomized trial, intravenous atosiban did not reduce a composite of perinatal mortality and severe neonatal morbidity versus placebo for threatened preterm birth at 30+0–33+6 weeks.
The PERMET randomized, double-blind trial found that 6 months of metformin did not improve 6-minute walk distance or other functional endpoints in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) without diabetes.
A multicenter randomized trial in Japan found that rituximab significantly increased 49‑week relapse‑free survival versus placebo in adults with frequently relapsing or steroid‑dependent nephrotic syndrome, though infusion reactions were co
A randomized trial shows that physical therapy and text message reminders do not significantly improve knee pain outcomes beyond a simple home exercise program in patients aged 45-85 with degenerative meniscal tears.
A multicenter randomized trial comparing seven antipsychotics in acute schizophrenia shows olanzapine and risperidone outperform several agents in efficacy but differ markedly in side effects, clarifying treatment choices.
A large randomized trial in the U.S. found no significant improvement in influenza vaccination rates with cardiovascular-focused messaging compared to usual care, despite prior positive findings in Denmark.
The pilot PARTUM trial demonstrates the feasibility of a large-scale multi-national randomized study assessing low-dose aspirin versus placebo for postpartum venous thromboembolism prevention in moderate-risk individuals, supporting further
Early low-dose aspirin reduces early preterm birth risk and delays timing of delivery in women at high risk for preterm pre-eclampsia, with significant benefits in iatrogenic preterm births and small-for-gestational-age pregnancies.
A randomized crossover trial shows that daily intake of 40 g walnuts increases urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, reduces sleep latency, and improves global sleep quality in young adults, highlighting walnuts’ potential as a natural sleep
A pivotal multicenter randomized trial demonstrates that oral Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula (RIF) combined with ATRA is non-inferior to arsenic trioxide (ATO) plus ATRA, providing a simplified consolidation regimen for non-high-risk APL
The DOUBLE-CHOICE randomized trial demonstrates non-inferiority of isolated local anesthesia versus conscious sedation in transfemoral TAVI, suggesting a safe minimalist anesthesia strategy with potential trade-offs in patient comfort.
The BHF PROTECT-TAVI randomized trial found no cognitive benefit from using cerebral embolic protection devices during transcatheter aortic valve implantation, despite their theoretical role in mitigating embolic brain injury.
The BHF PROTECT-TAVI randomized trial reveals that cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices do not prevent cognitive decline following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), challenging assumptions about their neuroprotective bene
A recent multicenter randomized trial demonstrates superior short-term efficacy of cupping and scraping therapy with medicated balm over NSAIDs with capsaicin plasters in reducing pain and improving quality of life for chronic nonspecific l
New research explores whether kissing can help restore saliva’s pH balance after sugary drinks, potentially protecting against dental caries.
A randomized sham-controlled trial found that thigh-high elastic compression stockings did not significantly reduce vasovagal syncope recurrence or improve syncope-free survival, though fewer episodes occurred during active stocking use.
The NUDGE-CKD trial found that electronic letter-based nudges to patients with chronic kidney disease and their general practitioners did not significantly improve initiation of guideline-recommended medications over usual care.
The ACCURE trial demonstrates that laparoscopic appendicectomy combined with standard medical therapy significantly lowers 1-year relapse rates compared to medical therapy alone in ulcerative colitis patients in remission.
A multicenter randomized trial in Japan found that a 12-week therapist-guided internet-based CBT program significantly reduced weekly bingeing and compensatory episodes in women with bulimia nervosa versus usual care (adjusted mean differen
