In this US-based study of the National Cancer Database (NCDB), we examined 8550 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic, invasive inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) who received surgery from 2004–2013. Patients were grouped into four biologic subtypes (HR+/HER2−, HR+/HER2+, HR−/HER2+, HR−/HER2−). On average, women 56 years age at diagnosis and followed for a median 3.7 years. The majority white (80%), had private health insurance (50%), presented poorly differentiated tumors (57%)....
We investigated the safety and antitumor activity of dalotuzumab, a selective anti-insulin growth factor 1 receptor monoclonal antibody (IGF1R MoAb), plus erlotinib in sequential phase I/II trial unselected patients with refractory advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).The I determined recommended dose dalotuzumab at 5 mg/kg or 10 weekly 20 patients. The II compared outcomes to alone established trial. Erlotinib 150 mg was safe. included 37 arm 38 arm. Progression-free survival 1.6...

BACKGROUND: Days supply values reported in large administrative claims databases are commonly used to estimate drug exposure and quantify adherence persistence with prescribed therapy. In recent database studies assessing treatment patterns for biologic therapies, a high frequency of 28-31-days has been observed therapies label-recommended maintenance dosing intervals longer than 4 weeks. Such inconsistencies suggest potential inaccuracy days data. OBJECTIVE: To confirm the existence...
