About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Syros Announces Topline Data from SELECT-MDS-1 Phase 3 Trial of Tamibarotene in Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome with RARA Gene Overexpression

-- SELECT-MDS-1 Did Not Meet its Primary Endpoint --

-- Company to Discontinue Study, Review Full Data Set, and Evaluate Next Steps --

Syros Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SYRS), a biopharmaceutical company committed to advancing new standards of care for the frontline treatment of hematologic malignancies, today announced that the SELECT-MDS-1 Phase 3 trial evaluating tamibarotene in combination with azacitidine in newly diagnosed higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) patients with RARA gene overexpression did not meet its primary endpoint of complete response (CR) rate. Tamibarotene is Syros’ proprietary oral, selective, retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) agonist.

In the first 190 enrolled patients, the CR rate by intent-to-treat (ITT) in the tamibarotene/azacitidine treatment arm was 23.8% (n=126; 95% CI: 16.7%-32.2%) compared to a CR rate of 18.8% (n=64; 95% CI: 10.1%-30.5%) in the placebo/azacitidine control arm and was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.2084). In the safety analysis of all enrolled patients (n=245), tamibarotene in combination with azacitidine (n=160) appeared to be generally well-tolerated, with an adverse event profile that was similar to that seen in earlier Syros-sponsored studies.

Syros also reported that, as previously disclosed in its filings with the SEC, the failure of the SELECT-MDS-1 trial to achieve its primary endpoint constitutes an event of default under its secured loan facility with Oxford Finance LLC.

“We are deeply disappointed by this outcome, particularly for the HR-MDS patients who are seeking a new treatment option for this challenging disease,” said Conley Chee, Chief Executive Officer of Syros. “We plan to stop the study, review the clinical data more thoroughly, and evaluate the next steps. We want to express our sincere appreciation for the patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals who took part in the SELECT-MDS-1 trial and to all the employees of Syros for their exceptional work on the tamibarotene program.”

About SELECT-MDS-1 Phase 3 Trial

SELECT-MDS-1 is a multinational Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of tamibarotene in combination with azacitidine compared to placebo and azacitidine in HR-MDS patients with RARA overexpression. The primary endpoint of the trial was the CR rate in the first 190 patients.
