Objective: To study the pharmacokinetics of injected cefozopran hydrochloride in healthy volunteers.
Methods: 24 healthy volunteers were enrolled to receive low (0.5 g), middle (1.0 g), high (2.0 g) doses of single injection and multiple doses (1.0 g) injection of cefozopran hydrochloride in an open randomized study. The plasma concentrations of cefozopran were determined by RP-HPLC. The DAS2.0 was used to fit the concentration-time data and to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters.
Results: The main pharmaeokinetic parameters for a single injection of low, middle and high doses of cefozopran were as follows: Cmax (48.27 +/- 9.84), (77.99 +/- 15.08) and (171.59 +/- 18.27) mg/L; Tmax (0.50 +/- 0.00), (0.51 +/- 0.02) and (0.51 + 0.02) h; AUCo-t (92.43 +/- 24.02), (152.45 +/- 16.26) and (341.03 +/- 44.16) mg x h/L; t1/2beta (1.97 +/- 0.19), (2.44 +/- 0.24) and (2.18 +/- 0.31) h, respectively. The main pharmacokinetic parameters for a multiple doses injection of cefozopran were as follows: Cmax (80.39 +/- 11.86) mg/L; Tmax (0.51 +/- 0.02) h; AUCo-t (159.74 +/- 15.06) mg x h/L; t1/2beta (2.55 +/- 0.55) h. The accumulative rate of cefozopran through urine pathway within 24 h was (89.4 +/- 15.5)%. The statistical analysis showed that Cmax, AUCo-t, and AUCo-infinity increased significantly with increased doses of injection (P < 0.05). Those parameters were linearly correlated with the doses of injection (r = 0.9950, 0.9960, 0.9963). However, dosage did not have an impact on other pharmacokinetic parameters (P > 0.05). No gender differences in the parameters were found (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Cefozopran hydrochloride performs a linear kinetics in healthy volunteers. The main pharmacokinetic parameters have no significant gender differences, and there is no drug accumulated with multiple doses of injection.

In an article in the , Backfish and coauthors examined the dose accuracy and reliability of the Tempo Pen and Tempo Smart Button connected insulin pen system. This study sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company found that this system met the International Organization for Standardization 11608-1:2014 requirements for dose accuracy at a range of doses, as well as the data transfer requirements after all injections. While these results are very encouraging, they were based on simulated human factors data while data from a human factors validation study where individuals successfully dialed and administered correct doses was not reported.

The advent of once-weekly insulin icodec is a promising development in the care of individuals with diabetes. These once-weekly formulations aimed to improve patient adherence and quality of life for patients who find daily injection administration challenging. Insulin icodec has demonstrated comparable glycemic control to conventionally used daily basal insulins, such as insulin glargine and degludec, in the ONWARDS clinical trials.

Background: The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is intricately linked to a range of human malignancies, with EBV latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) emerging as a potential target antigen for immunotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods: The modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) is universally used in vector vaccine research because of its excellent safety profile and highly efficient recombinant gene expression. Here, we constructed a novel MVA-LMP2A recombinant virus and investigated its specific immune response induction and oncolytic effect.

Regulatory authorities typically require bioequivalence to be demonstrated by comparing pharmacokinetic parameters like area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (C). Because in certain cases, AUC and C alone may not be adequate to identify formulation differences in early and/or late segments of the dosing interval, partial AUCs (pAUCs) have been proposed as additional metrics to evaluate bioequivalence. Even though cut-off points for pAUCs are usually decided based on clinical relevance, the identification of the correct cut-off range remains elusive in many other cases and tends to contribute to increased pAUC estimate variabilities.
