[89Zr]Zr-girentuximab for PET-CT imaging of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma: a prospective, open-label, multicentre, phase 3 trial.
With limitations of conventional imaging and biopsy, accurate, non-invasive techniques to detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma in patients with renal masses remain an unmet need. 89Zr-labelled monoclonal antibody ([89Zr]Zr-girentuximab) has high affinity for carbonic anhydrase 9, a tumour antigen highly expressed in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. We aimed to evaluate [89Zr]Zr-girentuximab PET-CT imaging for detection and characterisation of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. ⋯ Telix Pharmaceuticals.

Atezolizumab, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab combination in Richter transformation diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (MOLTO): a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial.
The diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) variant of Richter transformation (DLBCL-RT) is typically chemoresistant with poor prognosis. Aiming to explore a chemotherapy-free treatment combination that triggers anti-tumour immune responses, we conducted a phase 2 study of atezolizumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) in combination with venetoclax and obinutuzumab in patients with DLBCL-RT. ⋯ Roche.

Palliative radiotherapy versus best supportive care in patients with painful hepatic cancer (CCTG HE1): a multicentre, open-label, randomised, controlled, phase 3 study.
Palliative treatment options for painful hepatic cancer can be restricted due to patients eventually becoming refractory to standard treatment. The aim of this study was to determine whether radiotherapy improves hepatic pain from cancer. ⋯ Canadian Cancer Society.
