Shorter outshines longer DAPT for ACS patients following DES implantation

14 Nov 2023 by

In patients treated with drug-eluting stents (DES) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stopping aspirin within a month of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and continuing with ticagrelor alone outdid a 12-month DAPT regimen with ticagrelor and aspirin, findings from the T-PASS trial have shown.

177Lu-PSMA-617 improves rPFS vs ARPI switch in taxane-naïve mCRPC patients

14 Nov 2023 by

The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–targeted radioligand, lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu)–PSMA-617, improves radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) vs androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) switch and has a favourable safety profile in taxane-naïve patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) progressing on one prior second-generation ARPI, results of the phase III PSMAfore trial have shown.
