Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Doxorubicin-Trabectedin with Trabectedin Maintenance in Leiomyosarcoma.
The addition of trabectedin to doxorubicin, followed by trabectedin maintenance, may have superior efficacy to doxorubicin alone as first-line treatment in patients with advanced leiomyosarcoma. ⋯ Combination therapy with doxorubicin and trabectedin induction, followed by trabectedin maintenance, was associated with improved overall survival and progression-free survival, as compared with doxorubicin alone, among patients with metastatic or surgically unresectable uterine or soft-tissue leiomyosarcoma. (Funded by PharmaMar and others; LMS04 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02997358.).

In June 2019, a patient presented with persistent fever and multiple organ dysfunction after a tick bite at a wetland park in Inner Mongolia. Next-generation sequencing in this patient revealed an infection with a previously unknown orthonairovirus, which we designated Wetland virus (WELV). ⋯ A newly discovered orthonairovirus was identified and shown to be associated with human febrile illnesses in northeastern China.
