Despite repeated malaria infection, individuals living in areas where malaria is endemic remain vulnerable to reinfection. The Janus kinase (JAK1/2) inhibitor ruxolitinib could potentially disrupt the parasite-induced dysfunctional immune response when administered with antimalarial therapy. This randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center phase 1 trial investigated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of ruxolitinib and the approved antimalarial artemether-lumefantrine in combination.

Purpose: To investigate the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and tolerability of palosuran, a selective, potent antagonist of the human UT receptor.

Methods: This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Three dose levels were investigated for PKs, PDs, and safety in sequential groups of 8 subjects each.

Introduction: EP217609 is a representative of a new class of synthetic parenteral anticoagulants with a dual mechanism of action. It combines in a single molecule a direct thrombin inhibitor and an indirect factor Xa inhibitor. EP217609 can be neutralized by a specific antidote avidin, which binds to the biotin moiety of EP217609.

Unlabelled: EP217609 is a parenteral antithrombotic compound combining in one molecule an indirect anti-factor Xa inhibitor, a direct thrombin active site inhibitor and a biotin moiety.

Aims: The aim of the study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single ascending intravenous doses of EP217609.

Methods: In this randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study, healthy male subjects were administered intravenously single ascending doses (1, 3 or 10 mg) of EP217609 or placebo.

Purpose: Clinical care for patients with rare diseases may be complicated by comorbidities. Administration of medications to treat comorbidities may elicit potentially harmful drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Genetic background may also influence DDI occurrence.
