Abstract The checkpoint immunotherapeutic pembrolizumab induces responses in a small minority of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Radium-223 (R223) may increase immunogenicity bone metastases and (P) activity. In randomized phase II study, we assessed the effect R223+P compared R223 on tumor immune infiltration, safety, clinical outcomes mCRPC. primary endpoint was differences CD4+ CD8+ T-cell infiltrate 8-week versus baseline metastasis biopsies;...
This study sought to examine personality disorders and their related clinical variables in a sample of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (GLBT) individuals with substance use disorders. Study participants were 145 GLBT patients who admitted residential dual diagnosis chemical dependency treatment program. A total 136 (93.8%) had at least one disorder. The most common borderline (n = 93; 64.1%), obsessive-compulsive 82; 56.6%), avoidant 71; 49.0%) Preliminary data suggest that there is high...

<p>Swimmer’s plot of treatments received. Number radium-223 and pembrolizumab doses received are listed to the left right bars, respectively. The brackets “[” “]” represent planned break period from dosing with representing cycle 3 day 28 4 1 when interval between these was greater than days. Patients could resume radium treatment at radiographic progression by PCWG2 criteria (“△”) if there were no new visceral metastases, but two patients (bars 7 13 below) resumed without confirmed...
