Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Long-Term Oxygen Therapy for 24 or 15 Hours per Day in Severe Hypoxemia.
Long-term oxygen supplementation for at least 15 hours per day prolongs survival among patients with severe hypoxemia. On the basis of a nonrandomized comparison, long-term oxygen therapy has been recommended to be used for 24 hours per day, a more burdensome regimen. ⋯ Among patients with severe hypoxemia, long-term oxygen therapy used for 24 hours per day did not result in a lower risk of hospitalization or death within 1 year than therapy for 15 hours per day.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Axatilimab in Recurrent or Refractory Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease.
Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-dependent monocytes and macrophages are key mediators of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a major long-term complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. The CSF1R-blocking antibody axatilimab has shown promising clinical activity in chronic GVHD. ⋯ Targeting CSF1R-dependent monocytes and macrophages with axatilimab resulted in a high incidence of response among patients with recurrent or refractory chronic GVHD.
