Association Between Tumor Egfr and Kras Mutation Status and Clinical Outcomes in Nsclc Patients Randomized to Sorafenib Plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) or Bsc Alone: Subanalysis of the Phase III Mission Trial
ABSTRACT Background Tumor EGFR and KRas mutations are both predictive and prognostic biomarkers in patients with advanced NSCLC. We analyzed the correlation between these biomarkers and treatment outcomes in a phase III trial of 3rd/4th line sorafenib in patients with NSCLC. Methods The global, randomized, placebo-controlled MISSION trial enrolled 703 patients with advanced relapsed/refractory NSCLC of predominantly non-squamous histology. The primary study endpoint was overall survival (OS). EGFR and KRas mutations were analyzed in archival tumor samples and in circulating tumor DNA isolated from plasma. Results Tumor and/or plasma mutation data were available from 347 patients (49%). EGFR…
Clinical utility of cognitive-behavioural treatment for panic disorder. results obtained in different settings: a research centre and a public mental health care unit
Cognitive-Behavioural programmes have become the treatment of choice for Panic Disorder (PD). However, although its effectiveness has been widely demonstrated, there are still some limitations regarding the possibility of offering this type of treatment to all panic sufferers. Some researchers are studying ways to make these programmes more available. This study deals with the application and testing of treatment programmes for PD in sites where patients usually look for help for their psychological problems, i.e. mental health care centres. Our work follows a strategy of benchmarking, and the results obtained after applying the treatment in habitual clinical contexts are compared with the …
