Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) cause serious complications among hospitalized patients due to biofilm-forming microorganisms which make treatment ineffective by forming antibiotic-resistant strains. As most CAUTI-causing bacterial pathogens have already developed multidrug resistance, there is an urgent need for alternative antibacterial agents to prevent biofilms on catheter surfaces. As a trial to find out such a potential agent of natural origin, the bark of Rottl.

Purpose: Diffusing alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy ("Alpha DaRT") is a new cancer treatment modality that employs radium-224-loaded metal sources implanted in solid tumors to disperse alpha-emitting atoms within a therapeutic "kill-zone" of a few millimeters around each source. Preclinical studies have demonstrated tumor growth delay in various cancer types, including glioblastoma multiforme, and the method is used in clinical trials for patients with skin and head and neck cancer. This study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of implementing Alpha DaRT for brain tumor treatment in a large animal model.

Introduction: Pralurbactam (FL058) is a novel β-lactamase inhibitor with good inhibitory activity on class A, C, and D β-lactamases. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship of pralurbactam/meropenem in a neutropenic murine thigh infection model.
Methods: After 2-h infection, neutropenic mice was treated with meropenem every 2 h alone or in combination with pralurbactam at different dosing frequencies for 24 h, and the colony count in the thighs was determined before and after treatment.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the exposure-efficacy relationship of nilotinib and longitudinal BCR::ABL1 levels in patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) and those who are imatinib-resistant or intolerant using a semimechanistic disease model.
Methods: The analysis included 489 CML-CP patients from 3 nilotinib trials (NCT00109707; NCT00471497; NCT01043874) with duration of follow-up ranging from 2 to 9 years. The semimechanistic disease model of CML-CP consisted of quiescent leukaemic stem cells, proliferating drug-susceptible and -resistant bone marrow cells.

Background And Objectives: Epcoritamab is a CD3xCD20 bispecific antibody approved for the treatment of adults with different types of relapsed or refractory (R/R) B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) after ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy. Here we report the first results from a population pharmacokinetic model-based analysis using data from 2 phase 1/2 clinical trials (EPCORE NHL-1, NCT03625037 and EPCORE NHL-3, NCT04542824) evaluating epcoritamab in patients with R/R B-NHL.
Methods: Plasma concentration-time data included 6819 quantifiable pharmacokinetic samples from 327 patients with R/R B-NHL.
