<b>Objective</b> To examine in a randomised trial whether 25% difference mortality exists between 4.5 months and 3 years of age for children given two standard doses Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccines at 9 compared with those one dose vaccine (current policy). <b>Design</b> Randomised controlled trial. <b>Setting</b> The Bandim Health Project, Guinea-Bissau, which maintains health demographic surveillance system an urban area. <b>Participants</b> 6648 aged who had received three...
BackgroundAdjuvant trastuzumab significantly improves outcomes for patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer. The standard treatment duration is 12 months but shorter could provide similar efficacy while reducing toxicities and cost. We aimed to investigate whether 6-month adjuvant non-inferior the 12-month regarding disease-free survival.MethodsThis study an open-label, randomised phase 3 non-inferiority trial. Patients were recruited from 152 centres in UK. randomly assigned cancer,...
Capivasertib (AZD5363) is a potent selective oral inhibitor of all three isoforms the serine/threonine kinase AKT. The FAKTION trial investigated whether addition capivasertib to fulvestrant improved progression-free survival in patients with aromatase inhibitor-resistant advanced breast cancer.
Capivasertib, an AKT inhibitor, added to fulvestrant, was previously reported improve progression-free survival in women with aromatase inhibitor-resistant oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The benefit appeared be independent of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) pathway alteration status tumours, as ascertained using assays available at time. Here, we report updated overall results, a prespecified...
<b>Objective</b> To examine the protective efficacy of measles vaccination in infants a low income country before 9 months age. <b>Design</b> Randomised clinical trial. <b>Participants</b> 1333 aged 4.5 months: 441 treatment group and 892 control group. <b>Setting</b> Urban area Guinea-Bissau. <b>Intervention</b> Measles using standard titre Edmonston-Zagreb vaccine at <b>Main outcome measures</b> Vaccine against infection, admission to hospital for measles, mortality <b>Results</b> 28%...
1005 Background: The PI3K/AKT signalling pathway is frequently activated in patients (pts) with estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer (ER+BC) and has been implicated endocrine therapy resistance. Capivasertib (AZD5363) a highly-selective, oral, small molecule AKT inhibitor. FAKTION trial investigated the addition of capivasertib to fulvestrant for postmenopausal women ER+ HER2 negative BC after relapse or disease progression on an aromatase inhibitor (AI). Methods: investigator-led,...
The World Health Organization recommends administration of measles vaccine (MV) at age 9 months in low-income countries. We tested the virus antibody response 4.5, 9, 18, and 24 for children randomly assigned to receive standard-titer Edmonston-Zagreb MV 4.5 months, or 18 age. At age, 75% had nonprotective levels. Following receipt 77% (316/408) protective levels age; after a second dose 97% (326/337) In addition, both was inversely correlated with level first MV, received provided...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies from Africa have suggested that there is little benefit to be gained early two-dose measles vaccination schedules. Two-dose schedules been associated with no improvement in coverage due immunization of the same individuals on both occasions, low return rate, high refusal vaccine efficacy, and fear blunting antibody response. Because poor results achieved previously schedules, we studied patterns participation, reasons for non-participation, relative efficacy a...
1005 Background: Previous results from the Phase 2 FAKTION trial (NCT01992952) showed progression free survival (PFS) in patients with aromatase inhibitor (AI) resistant ER+/HER2− advanced breast cancer was significantly longer fulvestrant plus capivasertib vs placebo. At time of analysis, PFS benefit associated not restricted to activating mutations PIK3CA (E542K, E545K, H1047R or H1047L) PTEN protein null. We report now mature overall (OS) data enhanced biomarker analysis. Methods: For...

<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> Breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy is a relatively uncommon event. This challenging situation presents clinicians with difficult decisions, often requiring multidisciplinary approach at time of heightened anxiety for the patient and their family. paper describes case young woman metastatic breast in early pregnancy, outlines how this complex clinical was managed.
