Organizational Actions in Gaining Employee Support for Change: The Roles of Affective Commitment to Change, Organizational Justice, and Organizational Cynicism

Organizations today must be able to successfully implement changes. This study examined three critical actions organizations can take during change to gain employee support. The study examined the roles of affective commitment to change, organizational justice, and organizational cynicism in the connection between the critical change actions and employee support. Five hundred full-time workers, experienced in organizational change, completed a survey. Results showed the effect of organizational actions on employee support is partially mediated by procedural justice and affective commitment to change and showed organizational cynicism to have a direct effect on procedural, informational, and interpersonal justice. Implications are discussed

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead

Pirtobrutinib in covalent BTK-inhibitor pre-treated mantle cell lymphoma

Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective, non-covalent (reversible) Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). We report the safety and efficacy of pirtobrutinib in patients with covalent (c) BTKi pre-treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a population with poor prognosis. Patients with cBTKi pre-treated relapsed/refractory MCL received pirtobrutinib monotherapy in a multicenter phase 1/2 trial (BRUIN, NCT03740529). Efficacy was assessed in the first 90 consecutively enrolled patients who met criteria for inclusion in the primary efficacy cohort. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR) and safety. Median patient age was 70 years (range, 46-87), median prior lines of therapy 3 (range, 1-8), 82.2% had discontinued a prior cBTKi due to disease progression, and 77.8% had intermediate or high risk sMIPI score. The ORR was 57.8% (95% CI, 46.9-68.1), including 20.0% complete responses (n=18). At a median follow-up of 12 months, the median DOR was 21.6 months (95% CI, 7.5-not reached). The 6- and 12-month estimated DOR rates were 73.6% and 57.1%, respectively. In the MCL safety cohort (n=164), the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) were fatigue (29.9%), diarrhea (21.3%), and dyspnea (16.5%). Grade ≥3 TEAE of hemorrhage (3.7%) and atrial fibrillation/flutter (1.2%) were less common. Only 3% of patients discontinued pirtobrutinib due to a treatment-related AE. Pirtobrutinib is a first-in-class novel non-covalent (reversible) BTKi, and the first BTKi of any kind to demonstrate durable efficacy following prior cBTKi therapy in heavily pre-treated relapsed/refractory MCL. Pirtobrutinib was well tolerated with low rates of treatment discontinuation due to toxicity
