Safety Evaluation in Iterative Development of Wearable Patches for Aripiprazole Tablets With Sensor: Pooled Analysis of Clinical Trials.

Background: Wearable sensors in digital health may pose a risk for skin irritation through the use of wearable patches. Little is known about how patient- and product-related factors impact the risk of skin irritation. Aripiprazole tablets with sensor (AS, Abilify MyCite; Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc) is a digital medicine system indicated for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Effectiveness Evaluation of Additional Risk Minimization Measures for Adolescent Use of Aripiprazole in the European Union: Results from a Post-Authorization Safety Study.

Introduction: Two risk minimization (RM) tools-a healthcare professional frequently asked questions (HCP-FAQs) brochure and a patient/caregiver information brochure (PCIB)-were developed for HCPs and for adolescents (aged ≥ 13 years) receiving aripiprazole for bipolar I mania and their caregivers.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of these RM tools in improving the awareness and education of HCPs and patients/caregivers.

Method: The RM tools were distributed to HCPs (identified in agreement with the marketing authorization holder [MAH] and local regulatory authorities), who in turn distributed the PCIBs to patients/caregivers.

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of sugammadex using single high doses (up to 96 mg/kg) in healthy adult subjects: a randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled, single-centre study.

Background And Objective: Sugammadex facilitates rapid reversal of rocuronium- and vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of high doses of sugammadex (up to 96 mg/kg) in healthy subjects.

Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled, single-centre study, 13 healthy adults were scheduled to receive three single intravenous doses of sugammadex in ascending order (32, 64 and 96 mg/kg) and placebo (interspersed between sugammadex doses), each separated by a 1-week washout period.
