Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models were developed to quantitate the exposure-response relationships using continuous longitudinal data on American College of Rheumatology (ACR) subcomponents, that is, tender-joint count (TJC), swollen-joint count (SJC), C-reactive protein, patient's assessment of pain, patient's global assessment of disease activity, physician's global assessment of disease activity, and patient's assessment of physical function for 5 biologics approved for use in rheumatoid arthritis. The models were then used to simulate the time courses of clinical outcomes following different treatment regimens. The relative sensitivity of the 7 subcomponents was assessed using Monte Carlo simulation-based power analysis. The developed population PK/PD models adequately described the relationship between serum concentrations and changes in ACR subcomponents. The trial simulation and subsequent power analysis showed that SJC and TJC appeared to be more sensitive than the other 5 ACR subcomponents to detect treatment effect over placebo/methotrexate. These 7 ACR subcomponents had similar power in detecting the treatment difference between different doses. In addition, the continuous measures of ACR subcomponents did not appear to be more sensitive than binary measures.

Article Synopsis
- - Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) shares similarities with adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but there's a challenge in applying adult treatment efficacy to pJIA due to unclear response and exposure relationships.
- - The study analyzed clinical trial data for various biologic treatments (infliximab, tocilizumab, golimumab, adalimumab) to compare the drug exposure and response between pJIA and RA patients.
- - Findings indicate that for most biologics, pJIA patients showed similar or better responses than RA patients when drug exposure was matched, suggesting potential for using adult RA data to inform pJIA treatment strategies.

Purpose: Annual low-dose CT (LDCT) for lung screening in high-risk individuals decreases both lung cancer-specific mortality and all-cause mortality. Community oncology practice networks constituting the National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) conduct clinical trials across the cancer spectrum. The authors report access to and characteristics of LDCT screening for lung cancer in these community oncology practices.

The aim of this study was to validate the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) preliminary criteria for fibromyalgia (FM) in an Iranian population. In this multicenter prospective study, we enrolled 168 FM patients and 110 controls. All participants underwent dolorimetry examination by study assessors and completed a questionnaire containing variables of both the ACR 2010 preliminary and ACR 1990 criteria.

Objective: Genetic determinants are important in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Oxidative stress has also emerged as an important pathogenic factor in DN and vascular NADH oxidase is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previous small studies reported a strong but contradictory association between functional genetic variation of p22(phox), an important subcomponent of NADH oxidase, and DN.
