The Role of Belatacept‐Use and Senescence on Infectious and Mortality Complications After Kidney Transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Studies evaluating the incidence of infections after belatacept as a substitute for calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) or antimetabolite in kidney transplant (KT) yielded conflicting results. We compared infectious outcomes after belatacept‐use to no belatacept‐use in KT recipients.

Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in treatment‐naïve metastatic urothelial carcinoma patients: An Austrian real‐world analysis

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1654-1665, 15 March 2026.
What's new? New antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapies have helped expand treatment options for urothelial carcinoma (UC). Clinical trials suggest that the ADC enfortumab vedotin (EV) and the immunotherapeutic agent pembrolizumab, when used in combination, are especially effective against UC.
