Nivolumab in combination with R-CHOP for treatment-naïve diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: an evaluation of safety and efficacy Open
Approximately 20% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have aberrations involving the programmed death ligands 1 and 2 (PD-L1/PD-L2) locus. This justifies the investigation of PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors in the frontline therapy setting in a bi…

Semiparametric Regression Models for Explanatory Variables with Missing Data due to Detection Limit Open
Detection limit (DL) has become an increasingly ubiquitous issue in statistical analyses of biomedical studies, such as cytokine, metabolite and protein analysis. In regression analysis, if an explanatory variable is left-censored due to c…

Data from Evaluating Intermittent Dosing of Aspirin for Colorectal Cancer Chemoprevention Open
Aspirin reduces colorectal cancer risk but has a potential for adverse effects. Recent preclinical data suggest that intermittent dosing of aspirin may minimize adverse effects while maintaining efficacy. We conducted a three-arm double-bl…

Reprogramming SREBP1-dependent lipogenesis and inflammation in high-risk breast with licochalcone A: a novel path to cancer prevention Open
Background Anti-estrogens have had limited impact on breast cancer (BC) prevention. Novel agents with better tolerability, and efficacy beyond estrogen receptor (ER) positive BC are needed. We studied licochalcone A (LicA) for ER-agnostic …

A doubly robust estimator for the Mann Whitney Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test when applied for causal inference in observational studies Open
The Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon rank sum test (MWWRST) is a widely used method for comparing two treatment groups in randomized control trials, particularly when dealing with highly skewed data. However, when applied to observational study data,…

A linear mixed model approach for measurement error adjustment: applications to sedentary behavior assessment from wearable devices Open
In recent years, wearable devices have become more common to capture a wide range of health behaviors, especially for physical activity and sedentary behavior. These sensor-based measures are deemed to be objective and thus less prone to s…

A phase 1-2 trial of DA-EPOCH-R plus ixazomib for MYC-aberrant lymphoid malignancies: the DACIPHOR regimen Open
MYC-aberrant non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is associated with poor outcomes with conventional chemotherapy. Ixazomib is an orally bioavailable proteasome inhibitor that targets drivers of MYC expression and has demonstrated preclinical activi…

A new paradigm for high‐dimensional data: Distance‐based semiparametric feature aggregation framework via between‐subject attributes Open
This article proposes a distance‐based framework incentivized by the paradigm shift toward feature aggregation for high‐dimensional data, which does not rely on the sparse‐feature assumption or the permutation‐based inference. Focusing on …

4 Misinterpreting cognitive change over multiple timepoints: When practice effects meet age-related decline Open
Objective: Practice effects (PE) on cognitive testing impede our ability to accurately assess change. In particular, they hamper the detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and progression to dementia by delaying the point at which te…

Selective dysfunction of the crural diaphragm in patients with chronic restrictive and obstructive lung disease Open
Background Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is known to be associated with chronic lung diseases. The driving force of GER is the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) generated mainly by costal and crural diaphragm contraction. The latter also e…

Misinterpreting cognitive change over multiple timepoints: When practice effects meet age-related decline. Open
A replacement method of PE adjustment revealed significant PEs across two follow-ups. As expected in these older adults, accounting for PEs revealed cognitive decline. This, in turn, means earlier detection of cognitive deficits, including…
