TL;DR: Ramucirumab plus F OLFIRI significantly improved overall survival compared with placebo plus FOLFIRI as second-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma and toxic effects were manageable.
Abstract: Summary Background Angiogenesis is an important therapeutic target in colorectal carcinoma. Ramucirumab is a human IgG-1 monoclonal antibody that targets the extracellular domain of VEGF receptor 2. We assessed the efficacy and safety of ramucirumab versus placebo in combination with second-line FOLFIRI (leucovorin, fluorouracil, and irinotecan) for metastatic colorectal cancer in patients with disease progression during or after first-line therapy with bevacizumab, oxaliplatin, and a fluoropyrimidine. Methods Between Dec 14, 2010, and Aug 23, 2013, we enrolled patients into the multicentre, randomised, double-blind, phase 3 RAISE trial. Eligible patients had disease progression during or within 6 months of the last dose of first-line therapy. Patients were randomised (1:1) via a centralised, interactive voice-response system to receive 8 mg/kg intravenous ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI or matching placebo plus FOLFIRI every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or death. Randomisation was stratified by region, KRAS mutation status, and time to disease progression after starting first-line treatment. The primary endpoint was overall survival in the intention-to-treat population. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01183780.ld Findings We enrolled 1072 patients (536 in each group). Median overall survival was 13·3 months (95% CI 12·4–14·5) for patients in the ramucirumab group versus 11·7 months (10·8–12·7) for the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·844 95% CI 0·730–0·976; log-rank p=0·0219). Survival benefit was consistent across subgroups of patients who received ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI. Grade 3 or worse adverse events seen in more than 5% of patients were neutropenia (203 [38%] of 529 patients in the ramucirumab group vs 123 [23%] of 528 in the placebo group, with febrile neutropenia incidence of 18 [3%] vs 13 [2%]), hypertension (59 [11%] vs 15 [3%]), diarrhoea (57 [11%] vs 51 [10%]), and fatigue (61 [12%] vs 41 [8%]). Interpretation Ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI significantly improved overall survival compared with placebo plus FOLFIRI as second-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma. No unexpected adverse events were identified and toxic effects were manageable. Funding Eli Lilly.

TL;DR: DFdCyd demonstrated good to excellent antitumor activity in eight of the eight murine tumor models evaluated and is an excellent candidate for clinical trials in the treatment of cancer.
Abstract: A new pyrimidine antimetabolite, 2',2'-difluorodeoxycytidine, Gemcitabine (LY188011, dFdCyd) has been synthesized and evaluated in experimental tumor models. dFdCyd is a very potent and specific deoxycytidine analogue. The concentration required for 50% inhibition of growth is 1 ng/ml in the CCRF-CEM human leukemia cell culture assay. Concurrent addition of deoxycytidine to the cell culture system provides about a 1000-fold decrease in biological activity. The inhibition of growth of human leukemia cells in culture led to the in vivo evaluation of this compound as a potential oncolytic agent. Maximal activity in vivo was seen with dFdCyd when administered on an every third day schedule. 1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine, administered on a daily for 10-day schedule, was directly compared to dFdCyd in this evaluation. dFdCyd demonstrated good to excellent antitumor activity in eight of the eight murine tumor models evaluated. 1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine was substantially less active or had no activity in these same tumor models. This in vivo activity against murine solid tumors supports the conclusion that dFdCyd is an excellent candidate for clinical trials in the treatment of cancer.

TL;DR: Thienopyridines are metabolized to active metabolites that irreversibly inhibit the platelet P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate receptor, and the pharmacodynamic response to clopidogrel is more variable than the response to prasugrel.

TL;DR: To determine the prevalence, type and treatment behaviour of women with urinary incontinence in four European countries, a large sample of women aged between 25 and 45 years old was surveyed.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence, type and treatment behaviour of women with urinary incontinence in four European countries.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Data were collected using a postal survey which was sent to 29 500 community-dwelling women aged ≥ 18 years in France, Germany, Spain and the UK. Subjects were asked about the type of urinary incontinence they had experienced and their treatment behaviour.
RESULTS
Of the women who responded, 35% reported involuntary loss of urine in the preceding 30 days; stress urinary incontinence was the most prevalent type. The lowest prevalence was in Spain (23%), while the prevalence was 44%, 41% and 42% for France, Germany and the UK, respectively. About a quarter of women with urinary incontinence in Spain (24%) and the UK (25%) had consulted a doctor about it; in France (33%) and Germany (40%) the percentages were higher. Overall, < 5% of the women had ever undergone surgery for their condition. While pads were used by half of the women, there were some differences among the countries.
CONCLUSIONS
Millions of women in Europe have urinary incontinence; the consultation and treatment rates were low in the European countries included in this study.
