Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Immunogenicity, Safety, and Tolerability of JNJ-61178104, a Novel Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Interleukin-17A Bispecific Antibody, in Healthy Subjects.

The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of JNJ-61178104, a novel anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and anti-interleukin-17A (IL-17A) bispecific antibody, were investigated in a placebo-controlled, first-in-human study. Healthy subjects (n = 54) received a single dose of JNJ-61178104 by either intravenous infusion (0.1, 0.

Matrix Signaling Subsequent to a Myocardial Infarction: A Proteomic Profile of Tissue Factor Microparticles.

This study investigated the release and proteomic profile of tissue factor microparticles (TFMPs) prospectively (up to 6 months) following a myocardial infarction (MI) in a chronic porcine model to establish their utility in tracking cellular level activities that predict physiologic outcomes. Our animal groups (n = 6 to 8 each) consisted of control, noninfarcted (negative control); infarcted only (positive control); and infarcted animals treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and a β-blocker (BB) (metoprolol succinate). The authors found different protein profiles in TFMPs between the control, infarcted only group, and the CRT + BB treated group with predictive impact on the outward phenotype of pathological remodeling after an MI within and between groups.
