health Oral brepocitinib demonstrated rapid and sustained control over skin disease in dermatomyositis patients. This was shown in a phase 3 trial conducted between October 2022 and July 2025 across 90 sites in 20 countries.

The drug also helped patients taper off oral corticosteroids significantly more than the placebo group. These results suggest higher treatment goals are possible even with high baseline disease activity. 🔬

health A phase 2/3 trial compared long-course chemoradiotherapy (CRT) against short-course radiotherapy (RT) for rectal cancer organ preservation. This study, conducted across 37 sites in Europe, involved 503 patients with rectal adenocarcinoma < 40 mm. At 12 months, TME-free survival was 78.5% for CRT versus 60.6% for short-course RT. The difference was mainly due to a higher clinical complete response rate seen with CRT. Researchers stressed the need for longer follow-up to confirm these early positive findings. 🔬

Both groups, involving 360 obese participants, lost roughly 3.5% of their body weight by the 24-month mark.
