Podcasts about monotherapy

Ozempic gains expanded approval; MS treatment gets Boxed Warning added to label; Monotherapy approval granted for treatment resistant depression Tx Spravato; Leqembi gains  maintenance regimen; Enhertu gains new Breast CA indication.  

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the ASSURE DES trial, which compared aspirin monotherapy to withholding antiplatelet therapy in stable patients with drug-eluting stents undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The trial found no significant difference in major adverse outcomes between the two strategies, though minor bleeding was more common in the aspirin group, leading to a recommendation to continue aspirin therapy for most patients undergoing low-to-intermediate risk surgery, with exceptions for those at high bleeding risk.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews two pivotal phase three trials from China assessing the efficacy of the new monoclonal antibody, Katisha, for treating non-familial hypercholesterolemia. With significant reductions in LDL cholesterol and a long-acting, flexible dosing regimen, these studies promise a novel therapeutic option for patients struggling with cholesterol management and adherence to traditional treatments.

Betrand Tombal joins Brian and Tom to discuss the historic and current data for AR inhibition with monotherapy with AR blockers.

34th ESC 2024: Ticagrelor monotherapy vs. dual antiplatelet therapy

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this episode, Daniel Ontaneda, MD, PhD, a staff member of the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis, provided an in-depth overview on the newly announced McDonald criteria to diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS). Ontaneda, who also serves as an assistant professor of neurology, discussed the most notable changes to the criteria and how it may help towards improving rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. He spoke on the incorporation of new biomarkers, such as central vein sign and paramagnetic rim lesions, and the ability to diagnose MS in stages before clinical presentation shows. Furthermore, Ontaneda gave some perspective on the areas of the new criteria that will take some time to adjust to, as well as how these criteria may change the philosophical perspective of the disease as a whole.  Looking for more Multiple sclerosis discussion? Check out the NeurologyLive® multiple sclerosis clinical focus page.

Patients who had immune-related adverse events had better responses and lived longer than those who didn't. This was a real-world observational study of patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy, reported at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. OncTimesTalk reporter Peter Goodwin caught up with the lead study author Chiara Gottardi, MD, who specializes in head and neck cancer in the Department of Surgery, Oncology, and Gastroenterology in the Istituto Oncologico Veneto at the University of Padova in Italy.

The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the August issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—the first on immunosuppression in pediatric heart transplantation, and the second TA-NRP in DCD lung transplantation. Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, hosts this episode.   First, hear from senior author Steven C. Greenway, MSc, MD, on his team's study “Single-drug immunosuppression is associated with noninferior medium-term survival in pediatric heart transplant recipients.” Dr. Greenway shares his journey from enzyme biochemistry in mollusks, snails, and frogs to pediatric cardiology, then outlines the results of the paper.   The study queried the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society's registry to determine the efficacy and safety of monotherapy immunosuppression. The results showed better graft survival and less coronary allograft vasculopathy in the monotherapy group, even after adjusted for age at transplant, sex, neonatal transplant, infection, PTLD, and etiology of cardiomyopathy. Dr. Greenway and the digital media editors discuss the burning questions that obviously arise from the study's findings, the limitations of the paper, and what follow-up studies might start generating the answers that might eventually change clinical practice.   Next, the editors welcome first author Jad Malas, MD, to discuss the paper “The impact of thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion on early outcomes in donation after circulatory death lung transplantation.” This study utilized the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) database to identify DCD donors whose heart was procured in order to evaluate lung utilization rates and early post-lung transplant outcomes. Lung utilization was similar between the groups—14.9% for the NRP group and 13.8% for direct procurement. Post-lung transplant rates of ECMO and mechanical ventilation at 72 hours were not statistically different, and 6-month survival was equivalent.   Dr. Malas and the Digital Media Editors discuss the study's findings and implications, including exploring the background of NRP's relationship to lung allografts, differences in assessment or procurement techniques, and what might be needed to further evaluate this procurement technique for lung allografts.   Follow along at www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, log in at ishlt.org/journal-of-heart-lung-transplantation.  Don't already get the Journal and want to read along?

The lack of agreement on approaching the next treatment step creates a significant gap, leading to suboptimally treated MDD. Clinicians have the option to augment therapy or switch to another class of antidepressants to improve the management of a patient's residual symptoms of MDD. This program will help highlight the appropriate treatment for individuals with MDD who are suboptimally treated and provide evidence-based best practices related to making a timely switch from a first-line to a second-line antidepressant or augmenting the current treatment option.

Acne might just be unmatched as an aesthetic concern for how visible and traumatizing it can be for patients. Yet truly significant improvements in acne treatments have been hard to come by. As Cutera SVP Steve Kreider notes in this interview with Dr. Grant Stevens, "I've been selling acne products for 17 years, and the standard of care hasn't fundamentally changed."Except that Cutera itself has now changed the game with AviClear, a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear procedure. Further, acne clearance results continue to improve over time, demonstrating the long-term efficacy of this novel treatment. Join us as Dr. Stevens explores all the details of this groundbreaking laser device, along with breaking news about a recent FDA clearance for AviClear, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.Show Notes:00:00 Intro00:27 Background06:53 Arrival at Cutera08:50 Treating acne with light-based technology09:47 Breaking news!11:54 Monotherapy vs. multi-factoral treatments13:24 Procedure description, patient comfort, recovery16:07 Off-face?

Several medication classes can be used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP); however, many patients have a suboptimal response or experience dose-limiting side effects. Treatment guidelines suggest several first-line options but, in the absence of compelling evidence, offer no direction as to which agent to try first or if we should consider combination therapy.
