Evaluating the potential of candidate surrogate endpoints for overall…
This meta-analysis examined We assessed potential surrogates for OS in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with nivolumab-containing regimens in the first-line treatment setting. Key finding: CONCLUSION: At the individual-level, ORR exhibited a strong correlation with OS, whereas PFS and TNTD showed a moderate level correlation with OS.

A Novel Moisturizer Formulated With Micronized Centella asiatica and…
This rct examined This study evaluated efficacy, safety, and subject perception after the use of a novel cream, GC (Galderma Laboratories, LP, Fort Worth, TX), on subjects with mature, aging skin. Key finding: CONCLUSION: Twice-daily application of the novel GC skin cream significantly improved the overall skin quality of mature, aging skin, including crepiness, photodamage, firmness, texture, pH, and hydration.

This phase 3 clinical trial evaluated PURPOSE: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may serve as a biomarker to facilitate early identification of asymptomatic distant tumor spread in patients with breast cancer. Key finding: CONCLUSION: Tissue-free detection of ctDNA 2 years after adjuvant chemotherapy was highly prognostic in an early-stage breast cancer cohort, and can be used to stratify patients with early-stage breast cancer at high risk for recurrence during follow-up who may benefit from early interventions.
Promising but preliminaryPVCuRe: a machine-learning based tool to predict left ventricular…
This cohort study examined However, many patients fail to normalize LVEF despite successful ablation, and current tools do not reliably distinguish true PVC-induced cardiomyopathy from underlying cardiomyopa. Key finding: CONCLUSION: This ML-based tool, built on widely available variables, accurately estimates the probability of LVEF recovery after PVC ablation and may support clinical decision-making and patient counselling.
Near-term implementable findingFrom prediction to reality
This research article examined It predicted early gains in administrative automation and medical imaging, then remote monitoring and natural language processing (NLP), and eventually integrated clinical decision. Key finding: CONCLUSIONS: The roadmap identified the right domains but misjudged the pace of discontinuous change and overestimated the readiness of data, governance, and workflow infrastructure.
