因為最近讀書會讀了希臘主題 + 昨天聽了多發性骨髓瘤研討會,起心動念來整理一下平時收集到,有著希臘神話意涵的臨床試驗名字。一來可以更能記得這些試驗的藥物成效與副作用,二來還可以讓神話更立體一些。
看了 Gemini 覺得很燒,我把收集到的名字都倒進去做成簡報,還是有點差強人意,只好手刻一下。因為不想花太多時間在上面,美學方面還請見諒(期待天降神兵來拯救我的排版)。
希望可以拋磚引玉出更多希臘神話的試驗名。

CASSIOPEIA (P3) : NDMM, TE, Induction Dara-VTd (v. VTd) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 33%. OS HR 0.54, PFS HR 0.58. 追蹤了 88 個月,median survival 還是 NR.都是有希臘神話故事的星座。

另有朋友補充:
柏毅:DELPHINUS study (海豚座) ──也是Dara。Daratumumab in pediatric/young adult relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma.
芊雯:雖然不是血液科相關的trial,但講到跟希臘神話相關的臨床試驗就會想到Dronedarone的ATHENA跟PALLAS trial~
ATHENA選了陣發性心房顫動的病人發現Dronedarone是所有抗心律不整藥物中outcome最好的,後續的PALLAS多收了chronic AF的病人,結果發現用Dronedarone的組別死亡率較高,試驗做兩年就收掉了qq
剛好希臘神話中是Athena殺死了Pallas,後來Athena變成Pallas的代言人,兩個名字很常一起出現XD
