Use of Minimal Residual Disease Status to Reduce Uncertainty in Estimating Long-term Survival Outcomes for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients by Naomi van Hest, Peter Morten, Keith Stubbs, Nicola Trevor

“…**Methods:** Standard and response-based PSMs, estimating patient life-years (LYs) over a lifetime horizon, were developed for NDMM patients treated with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (BTd) with or without daratumumab as induction and consolidation therapy. In the standard PSM, LYs were determined by extrapolations from individual patient data from CASSIOPEIA. …”

Treatment with Lobeglitazone Attenuates Hepatic Steatosis in Diet-Induced Obese Mice by Sorim Choung, Kyong Hye Joung, Bo Ram You, Sang Ki Park, Hyun Jin Kim, Bon Jeong Ku

“…Notably, the treatment of lobeglitazone increased the protein levels of PPARα and diminished levels of PPARγ phosphorylated at serine 273, which were increased by a HFD, suggesting that induction of PPARα and posttranslational modification of PPARγ in livers by lobeglitazone might be an underlying mechanism of the improvement seen in NAFLD. …”
