Dr Matthew Goetz explains the rationale for using CDK4/6 inhibitors in patients with HR-positive metastatic breast cancer. Read More ›

Dr Matthew Goetz believes that, as more mature data come into existence, the demonstration of a survival advantage will guide more patients with metastatic breast cancer to try CDK4/6 inhibitors plus aromatase inhibitors instead of chemotherapy. Read More ›

Dr Matthew Goetz addresses common questions that arise when patients with HER+ metastatic breast cancer have progressed on a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus an aromatase inhibitor. Read More ›

This cost-per-responder analysis of patients treated on the MONARCH trial showed that sarilumab was more economically dominant compared with adalimumab with respect to incremental costs per response for patients with active, moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

A large multidatabase, population-representative cohort study showed a similar risk for primary composite cardiovascular events between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who newly started tocilizumab and abatacept starters. Read More ›

Results from a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that tofacitinib 10 mg and baricitinib 8 mg combined with methotrexate were both effective in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with similar safety outcomes. Read More ›

A real-world analysis of electronic health record (EHR) databases across Integrated Delivery Networks showed lower EHR reporting rates of clinical and disease severity measures, thus compromising the ability of rheumatologists to adopt a guideline-recommended treat-to-target approach in clinical practice.

A cardiac MRI follow-up study showed that patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) show myocardial abnormalities at baseline, which significantly improved in patients with early RA following active treatment for 1 year. Read More ›

An updated integrated analysis of patients (n = 3492) with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including patients exposed to any dose of baricitinib for up to 5.5 years, showed that the safety profile of baricitinib was maintained as similar to that previously reported.

This study conducted using the Corrona Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) registry dataset demonstrated that tocilizumab monotherapy improved disease activity as effectively as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) plus any dose of methotrexate (MTX) in patients with prior TNFi exposure in routine clinical practice, suggesting that it is an effective alternate treatment option for patients who cannot tolerate or prefer not to use MTX.
