Oral anticoagulation treatment (OAC) following clinically successful catheter abla-tion of atrial fibrillation (AF) is controversial. Recent guidelines recommended con-tinuation of OAC in all patients with CHA2DS2VASc score 2 even if there is no evidence of recurrent AF (Camm JA et al., Eur Heart J 2012).

In-stent restenosis remains the major problem limiting the efficacy of coronary stenting. Either sirolimus or paclitaxel drug-eluting stents have been demonstrated to decrease neointima proliferation resulting in a remarkable reduction of restenosis rate. However, despite the outstanding results achieved with this novel approach to restenosis, some caveats still remain. Although ...

In this exploratory phase II trial, the possibility of a personalized treatment after resistance to cetuximab will be evaluated. Therefore, tumor material of all patients shall be obtained, transferred into avatars and treated the same way as in the patient until resistance arises. These resistant tumor cells are subsequently treated ...

The ABCB1-gene product P-glycoprotein is an integral membrane protein that actively transports substrates out of the intracellular compartment. One of the major sites of its action is the blood-brain-barrier. It is highly expressed in brain capillary endothelial cells and involved in limiting the access of substrates such as antidepressants to ...

This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A, an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) administered in combination with paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with paclitaxel in participants with previously untreated, inoperable locally advanced or metastatic, centrally confirmed ...

The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab. Vedolizumab is being tested to treat pediatric participants who have moderately to severely active UC or CD. This study will look at the PK, efficacy, immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability in participants who take vedolizumab. The study will enroll approximately 80 ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug abemaciclib in participants with high risk, node positive, early stage, hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal receptor 2 negative (HER2-), breast cancer.
