Rifampicin has been found to be one of the most important antitubercular drugs; however, variable bioavailability of rifampicin in some fixed dose combinations (FDCs) as well as separate formulations has been reported in the literature. This resulted in proper evaluation of FDCs with standard protocol for bioequivalence trials. Earlier, plasma pooling as a rapid method for bioequivalence assessment of rifampicin in FDCs was proposed from our laboratory. Results obtained after pooled plasma sample analysis were compared with those from the individual plasma sample analysis. Case studies from our laboratories further validate and support the use of plasma pooling method as a faster and cost effective tool for bioequivalence assessment of rifampicin in FDCs, which will be useful in order to speed up the registration and approval of good quality FDCs.

A Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis to Evaluate the Impact of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Iberdomide.

J Pharm Sci

January 2025

Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacometrics & Bioanalysis, Bristol Myers Squibb, Princeton, NJ, USA.

Iberdomide, a novel potent cereblon E3 ligase modulator, is under investigation for multiple myeloma. This study assessed how renal impairment (RI) affects iberdomide pharmacokinetics (PK). Twenty-six subjects with varying renal function, including those with severe renal impairment and those requiring intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), received a single oral 1 mg dose of iberdomide.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of osilodrostat and hypercortisolism control on blood pressure (BP) and glycemic control in patients with Cushing's disease.

Methods: Pooled analysis of two Phase III osilodrostat studies (LINC 3 and LINC 4), both comprising a 48-week core phase and an optional open-label extension. Changes from baseline in systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA) were evaluated during osilodrostat treatment in patients with/without hypertension or diabetes at baseline.

Background: Protein abundance levels, sensitive to both physiological changes and external interventions, are useful for assessing the Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and treatment efficacy. However, identifying proteomic prognostic markers for AD is challenging by their high dimensionality and inherent correlations.

Methods: Our study analyzed 1128 plasma proteins, measured by the SOMAscan platform, from 858 participants 55 years and older (mean age 63 years, 52.
