Rare Disease Drug Trial (Italy): Can-Fite submits a Phase 2 protocol at Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital in Rome to test piclidenoson for Lowe syndrome, aiming for the first disease-modifying approach. Bone Health on Cancer Therapy: Research in women on aromatase inhibitors finds excess body fat (over 40%) linked to about double spinal fracture risk, suggesting BMI can miss high-risk patients.
