Camrelizumab plus chemo combo beneficial in Asian patients with advanced NSCLC
Adding camrelizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant treatment setting appears to improve the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) in Asian patients with stage IIIA or IIIB non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with manageable toxicity, according to data from the phase II TD-FOREKNOW study.

Impaired RV function, pulmonary coupling tied to hospitalizations, death in HFpEF patients
Worsening right ventricular (RV) function normally occurs in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and, along with its ratio to pulmonary pressure, is predictive of a higher risk of HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death, reports a study.

Change in gait speed predicts hospitalization, death in IPF patients
A considerable decline of >0.07 m/s in 4-metre gait speed (4MGS) over 6 months is associated with a higher risk of all-cause, nonelective hospitalization or death over the next 6 months in patients with a newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), suggests a study.

Second-line avelumab works against dMMR/MSI metastatic colorectal cancer
Treatment with the immune checkpoint inhibitor avelumab in the second-line setting confers survival and disease control benefits in patients with deficient mismatch repair and/or microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) when compared with standard treatment, with a favourable safety profile, according to the results of the phase II SAMCO-PRODIGE 54 trial.
