Sutimlimab Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Patients with Cold Agglutinin Disease.

Sutimlimab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the classic complement pathway, is approved in the United States, Japan, and the European Union for the treatment of hemolytic anemia in adults with cold agglutinin disease. The objectives of this study were to support dose selection for phase 3 studies, assess dose recommendations, and establish the relationship between sutimlimab exposure and clinical outcome [hemoglobin (Hb) levels]. Clinically meaningful biomarkers were graphically analyzed and the exposure-response relationship was proposed.

LaTeX tutorial for the standardization and automation of population analysis reports.

Writing population analysis reports that fulfilling the specifications of submission readiness is a time-consuming process and prone to human error. Thus, there is a need to streamline the creation of these reports through elements of standardization and automation. LaTeX is considered a suitable program package capable of creating long, modular, structured documents, and, because of its typographic quality, includes formula typesetting.

Pediatric Extrapolation in Type 2 Diabetes: Future Implications of a Workshop.

Extrapolation from adults to youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is challenged by differences in disease progression and manifestation. This manuscript presents the results of a mock-team workshop focused on examining the typical team-based decision process used to propose a pediatric development plan for T2D addressing the viability of extrapolation. The workshop was held at the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (ASCPT) in Orlando, Florida on March 21, 2018.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of Medical Therapies for Pediatric Populations and the Role of Extrapolation.

Extrapolation can be used to address challenges in pediatric drug development. This review describes how these challenges could be addressed by further evolution of quantitative frameworks (i.e.
