Envisioning clinical trials as complex interventions

Kristian D. Stensland et al.

Summary: Clinical trials are crucial for modern healthcare and have both societal and individual benefits. However, these trials often fail to achieve their goals and have low enrollment rates. The authors propose applying implementation science to clinical trials to improve their conduct and increase their effectiveness.

Final Overall Survival Analysis of Gemcitabine and Cisplatin Induction Chemotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Multicenter, Randomized Phase III Trial

Yuan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that induction chemotherapy before concurrent chemoradiotherapy significantly improved overall survival in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, without increasing the risk of late toxicities. Tumor response to induction chemotherapy and pretreatment cell-free Epstein-Barr virus DNA may serve as useful indicators for individualized treatment.

Current status and advances of immunotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Jian-Ying Xu et al.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the rationale, current status, advances, and challenges of immunotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). It focuses on the clinical application and advances of PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy and its combination with chemotherapy, as well as other immunotherapy approaches. The review also describes the clinical studies' status and challenges of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-based immunomodulatory strategies in local advanced NPC, and highlights the biomarker application for personalized immunotherapy of NPC.

Cross-Sectional Survey of Clinical Trials of Stem Cell Therapy for Heart Disease Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov

Rong Yang et al.

Summary: The study analyzed 241 clinical trials of stem cell therapy for heart diseases and found that most of them are interventional studies with small sample sizes and short durations. Some trials lacked clear funding sources, and the majority did not publish their study results.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Comparison of Publication of Pediatric Probiotic vs Antibiotic Trials Registered on ClinicalTrials.gov

Madison Riddell et al.

Summary: This study found that probiotic trials are less likely to be published compared to antibiotic trials, which may have implications for the results of meta-analyses of probiotic trials. No other study characteristics were associated with publication status.

A systematic review and recommendations on the use of plasma EBV DNA for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Anne W. M. Lee et al.

Summary: Plasma EBV DNA has potential clinical applications in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, including screening, prognosis assessment, and treatment monitoring. However, the major limitation lies in the harmonisation of measurement methods for consistent comparability.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma: an evolving paradigm

Kenneth C. W. Wong et al.

Summary: Over the past three decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular biology and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer. Technological advances have led to the introduction of proton therapy and other contemporary radiotherapy approaches, with continued efforts to determine the optimal sequencing of chemotherapy with radiotherapy through decades of clinical trials.
