Just occurred to me, and maybe someone who knows could confirm: does the âenforâ in enfortumab refer to the antibodyâs target (Nectin-4)?

@PeterHotez I have come to understand these people's thinking when confronted by evidential refutation. They say to themselves: "Even if it isn't true, it may as well be true, so I don't care." Philosophically, they occupy a "Russell's teapot" position, in which each valid refutation is met

@oncology_bg @oncodaily @TheLancetOncol @SamuelXStevens @lateuwen Trial design to get a dodgy drug registered: - no crossover - substandard control - no access to post study Rx - donât look in mirror Want to improve OS, patient well-being, do the right thing? - allow crossover - best comparator - best post-study treatment - assess sequencing

@oncology_bg @oncodaily @TheLancetOncol @SamuelXStevens @lateuwen Thanks. So much good stuff in there but here is one of the most important: crossover. If crossover contaminates OS then it simply tells you there is no OS value in bringing the drug earlier or combining with earlier line treatment - you could and should just use it sequentially.

New term heard today: "Diminishing Relevance Syndrome," where once-great people try to maintain their dominance by undermining and belittling the efforts of others. Far better to celebrate and support the people trying hard to follow in your steps: a rising tide floats all boats.

@Apple Aaaaaand itâs stopped working again, all by itself. @Apple @AppleSupport @MazdaAus this is just not acceptable - these bugs should be fixed before you roll out a new iOS. I see CarPlay failures have been a topic of discussion for months among beta testers of #iOS26.

@Apple One more thing: please learn from my own unexpected and unwanted experience and note that you should not look at the CarPlay hashtag. It also contains content of a different nature that at the very least is NSFW.
