Journal ArticleDOI

Gemcitabine and capecitabine with or without telomerase peptide vaccine GV1001 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (TeloVac): an open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial

TL;DR: Adding GV1001 vaccination to chemotherapy did not improve overall survival and new strategies to enhance the immune response effect of telomerase vaccination were not found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate, and Fluorouracil as Adjuvant Therapy for Early Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Relapse-free and overall survival rates were significantly higher in the epirubicin-CMF groups than in the CMF-alone groups and the overall incidence of adverse effects was significantly higher with epirubsicin plus CMF than with CMF alone but did not significantly affect the delivered-dose intensity or the quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

6 versus 12 months of adjuvant trastuzumab for HER2-positive early breast cancer (PERSEPHONE): 4-year disease-free survival results of a randomised phase 3 non-inferiority trial

TL;DR: 6-month trastuzumab treatment is shown to be non-inferior to 12-month treatment in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer, with less cardiotoxicity and fewer severe adverse events, which support consideration of reduced duration trastzumab for women at similar risk of recurrence as to those included in the trial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patients' preferences for subcutaneous trastuzumab versus conventional intravenous infusion for the adjuvant treatment of HER2-positive early breast cancer: final analysis of 488 patients in the international, randomized, two-cohort PrefHer study

X. Pivot, +91 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: Patient preference, healthcare professional satisfaction, and safety data pooled from PrefHer and HannaH confirm that s.c. trastuzumab is a validated and preferred option over i.v. for improving patients' care in HER2-positive breast cancer.
