Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Amivantamab plus Lazertinib in Previously Untreated EGFR-Mutated Advanced NSCLC.
Amivantamab plus lazertinib (amivantamab-lazertinib) has shown clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity in patients with previously untreated or osimertinib-pretreated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ⋯ Amivantamab-lazertinib showed superior efficacy to osimertinib as first-line treatment in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Finerenone in Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists reduce morbidity and mortality among patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, but their efficacy in those with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction has not been established. Data regarding the efficacy and safety of the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone in patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction are needed. ⋯ In patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction, finerenone resulted in a significantly lower rate of a composite of total worsening heart failure events and death from cardiovascular causes than placebo.

Collagenase Injection versus Limited Fasciectomy for Dupuytren's Contracture.
Treatments for Dupuytren's contracture include limited fasciectomy and collagenase injection. Comparisons of the effectiveness of these treatments have been limited. ⋯ Collagenase injection was not noninferior to limited fasciectomy with respect to the score on the PEM at 1 year after treatment.
