Case Report: Furmonertinib dose escalation in heavily pretreated EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma with diffuse brain metastases

Abstract Furmonertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated systemic and central nervous system (CNS) antitumor activity in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, evidence supporting its use in patients with diffuse...

Cost Effectiveness of Osimertinib with Chemotherapy Compared to Osimertinib Monotherapy and First-Generation EGFR-TKIs in Advanced NSCLC in the USA

AbstractBackground and Objectives In clinical trials, osimertinib combined with chemotherapy has demonstrated improved efficacy in patients with advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer. However, the projected long-term outcomes and the associated cost effectiveness compared to osimertinib monotherapy...

Review no. 2: a beginner’s guide for calculating eGFR slope using linear mixed-effects model in R-step-by-step methods and code examples

Abstract Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope, which quantifies the annual change in kidney function using longitudinal measurements of eGFR, has emerged as a critical surrogate endpoint for chronic kidney disease progression in clinical trials. Accordingly, there is an increasing...

Estimand Framework Development for eGFR Slope Estimation and Comparative Analyses Across Various Estimation Methods

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge characterized by progressive kidney function decline, often culminating in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and increased mortality. To address the limitations such as the extended trial follow-up necessitated by the low...
