The Impact of Clinical Factors, Vitamin B12 and Total Cholesterol on Severity of Anorexia Nervosa: A Multicentric Cross-Sectional Study.

Severe forms of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) are characterized by medical complications, psychiatric comorbidity, and high mortality. This study investigated potential associations between clinical/biological factors and the severity of AN, measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI). Red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, iron, vitamins D and B12, folate, and total cholesterol were measured in a mixed sample of 78 inpatients and outpatients.

Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of Single-Dose Canagliflozin in Healthy Chinese Subjects.

Purpose: Canagliflozin, an orally active sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is approved in many countries as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The recommended dose of canagliflozin is 100 or 300 mg once daily. This Phase I study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety profile of canagliflozin in healthy Chinese subjects.

Open-Label Study To Evaluate the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Doripenem in Infants Less than 12 Weeks in Chronological Age.

Doripenem, a parenteral carbapenem with broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive and anaerobic pathogens, is currently approved for use in adults in the United States and European Union. Single-dose doripenem pharmacokinetics in 52 infants <12 weeks in chronological age were investigated in this phase 1 study. Hospitalized, medically stable infants <12 weeks in chronological age were stratified into 6 groups based on chronological and gestational age designed to reflect increasing renal maturation and decreasing volume of distribution (Vz) for β-lactam antimicrobials during the first 3 months of life.

Effect of hepatic or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor.

Purpose: Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Because T2DM is often associated with renal or hepatic impairment, understanding the effects of these comorbid conditions on the pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin, and further assessing its safety, in these special populations is essential. Two open-label studies evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (renal study only), and safety of canagliflozin in participants with hepatic or renal impairment.

Impact on abiraterone pharmacokinetics and safety: Open-label drug-drug interaction studies with ketoconazole and rifampicin.

We evaluated the impact of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole, and a strong inducer, rifampicin, on the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure of abiraterone in two studies in healthy men. All subjects received 1,000 mg of abiraterone acetate on Days 1 and 14. Study A subjects (n = 20) received 400 mg ketoconazole on Days 11-16.
