Treatment of limited stage follicular lymphoma with Rituximab immunotherapy and involved field radiotherapy in a prospective multicenter Phase II trial-MIR trial
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The optimal treatment of early stage follicular Lymphoma is a matter of debate. Radiation therapy has frequently been applied with a curative approach beside watchful waiting. Involved field, extended field and total nodal radiation techniques are used in various protocols, but the optimal radiation field still has to be defined. Follicular lymphoma is characterized by stable expression of the CD20 antigen on the tumour cells surface. The anti CD20 antibody Rituximab (Mabthera<sup>®</sup>) has shown to be effective in systemic therapy of FL in primary treatment, relapse and maintenance therapy.</p> <p>Methods/design</p> <p>The MIR (Mabthera<sup>® </sup>and Involved field Radiation) study is a prospective multicenter trial combining systemic treatment with the anti CD20 antibody Rituximab (Mabthera<sup>®</sup>) in combination with involved field radiotherapy (30 - 40 Gy). This trial aims at testing the combination's efficacy and safety with an accrual of 85 patients.</p> <p>Primary endpoint of the study is progression free survival. Secondary endpoints are response rate to Rituximab, complete remission rate at week 18, relapse rate, relapse pattern, relapse free survival, overall survival, toxicity and quality of life.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>The trial evaluates the efficacy of Rituximab to prevent out-filed recurrences in early stage nodal follicular lymphoma and the safety of the combination of Rituximab and involved field radiotherapy. It also might show additional risk factors for a later recurrence (e.g. remission state after Rituximab only).</p> <p>Trial Registration</p> <p>ClinicalTrials (NCT): <a href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00509184">NCT00509184</a></p
Prognostic factors associated with mortality risk and disease progression in 639 critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Europe: Initial report of the international RISC-19-ICU prospective observational cohort
Correction to “Self-Assembly of a Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanomesh on Ru(0001)”
In our paper(1) the N 1s core level energy as obtained by Al Kα excited X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of boron nitride on Ru(0001) is not correctly reproduced, it is 398.63 ± 0.15 eV and not 389.63 ± 0.15 eV. Table 1 reproduces the B 1s and N 1s binding energies and work functions for h-BN on Rh(111), Ru(0001), Ni(111), and Pd(111).(2)Figure 1 reproduces the corresponding core level data with the correct energy scale. We are grateful to W. Auwärter for spotting these inconsistencies
