Efficacy and Safety of First-Line Bevacizumab (BEV) Combined with Paclitaxel (PAC) According to Age: Subpopulation Analysis of a Large, Multicenter, …

2009

Abstract Background: In three randomized phase III trials (E2100, AVADO, RIBBON-1), the combination of Bev with taxane-based therapy significantly improved PFS and response rate versus taxane alone in HER2-negative MBC. Subpopulation analysis of AVADO suggested that the magnitude of the benefit derived from Bev was similar in older and younger pts (≥65 vs <65 years). To gain further information on the safety and efficacy of first-line Bev–pac in older pts treated in the real-life setting, we conducted a subpopulation analysis of data from an ongoing multicenter non-interventional study initiated after the approval of Bev in Germany. Materials and methods: Pts who had received no prio…

Sorafenib in combination with docetaxel as first-line therapy for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer: Final results of the randomized, double-bli…

2019

Abstract Background This multicenter, double-blind phase II study assessed the antitumor activity and toxicity profile of docetaxel with the antiangiogenic multikinase inhibitor sorafenib or matching placebo as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic or locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients and methods Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive docetaxel 100 mg/m2 on day 1 every 3 weeks in combination with sorafenib 400 mg bid or placebo on days 2–18 of each cycle until tumor progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Sorafenib/placebo could be continued at the investigator's discretion if docetaxel was stopped due to toxicity. Primary endpoint was progression free surv…

K2 light curve alternative analysis of ASASSN-18bt

2020

On 2018 February 4.41, the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered ASASSN-18bt in the K2 Campaign 16 field. With a redshift of z=0.01098 and a peak apparent magnitude of B_max_=14.31, ASASSN-18bt is the nearest and brightest Supernovae Ia type (SNe Ia) yet observed by the Kepler spacecraft. Here we present the discovery of ASASSN-18bt, the K2 light curve, and prediscovery data from ASAS-SN and the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. The K2 early-time light curve has an unprecedented 30-minute cadence and photometric precision for an SN Ia light curve, and it unambiguously shows a ~4 day nearly linear phase followed by a steeper rise. Thus, ASASSN-18bt joins a…
