SENECA study: staging endometrial cancer based on molecular classification.

Objective: Management of endometrial cancer is advancing, with accurate staging crucial for guiding treatment decisions. Understanding sentinel lymph node (SLN) involvement rates across molecular subgroups is essential. To evaluate SLN involvement in early-stage (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 I-II) endometrial cancer, considering molecular subtypes and new European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) risk classification.

Considerations for Human ADME Strategy and Design Paradigm Shift(s) - An Industry White Paper.

The human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (hADME) study is the cornerstone of the clinical pharmacology package for small molecule drugs, providing comprehensive information on the rates and routes of disposition and elimination of drug-related material in humans through the use of C-labeled drug. Significant changes have already been made in the design of the hADME study for many companies, but opportunity exists to continue to re-think both the design and timing of the hADME study in light of the potential offered by newer technologies, that enable flexibility in particular to reducing the magnitude of the radioactive dose used. This paper provides considerations on the variety of current strategies that exist across a number of pharmaceutical companies and on some of the ongoing debates around a potential move to the so called "human first/human only" approach, already adopted by at least one company.

Cardiotonic 'C' ring modified isomazole analogues.

Isomazole analogues which have achiral electron withdrawing substituents at the 4'-position and analogues with heterocyclic 'C' rings have been synthesized and evaluated as inotropic agents. It was found that pyridyl could replace phenyl in the 'C' ring without loss of activity. The 4'-methylsulphonyl, -cyano, -carboxamido, and acetyl analogues had similar inotropic potencies to Isomazole whilst displaying superior cardiovascular profiles in in vivo studies.
