Therapeutic doses of efzofitimod demonstrate efficacy in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

ERJ Open Res

January 2025

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA.

Background: In a phase 1b/2a clinical trial of efzofitimod in patients with corticosteroid-requiring pulmonary sarcoidosis, treatment resulted in dose-dependent improvement in key end-points. We undertook a analysis pooling dose arms that achieved therapeutic concentrations of efzofitimod (Therapeutic group) those that did not (Subtherapeutic group).

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells incubated with tuberculin-coated beads were exposed to varying concentrations of efzofitimod in an assay to determine concentrations that inhibited granuloma formation.

Objective: To analyze factors influencing the vancomycin trough concentration in burn patients to provide a basis for the more rational use of vancomycin in these patients.

Materials And Methods: We collected the clinical data of adult burn patients treated with vancomycin in a Chinese hospital. Vancomycin was administered at a dosing regimen of 1.

Vancomycin administration and AUC/MIC in patients with acute kidney injury on hemodialysis (HD): randomized clinical trial.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Internal Medicine Department - Nephrology, Botucatu School of Medicine, University São Paulo State-UNESP, District of Rubiao Junior, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of vancomycin change during HD, increasing the risk of subtherapeutic concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate during and after the conventional and prolonged hemodialysis sessions to identify the possible risk of the patient remaining without adequate antimicrobial coverage during therapy. Randomized, non-blind clinical trial, including critically ill adults with septic AKI on conventional (4 h) and prolonged HD (6 and 10 h) and using vancomycin for at least 72 h.

Objectives: Exploring adjustments to the voriconazole dosing program based on therapeutic drug monitoring results to implement individualized therapy.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were systematically searched to obtain study about voriconazole dose adjustment program guided by therapeutic drug monitoring. Quality evaluation and summarization of the obtained studies were performed to obtain program adjustments for voriconazole under therapeutic drug monitoring.

Objectives: The aims of the study are to explore the range and variation in serum estradiol concentration, and to estimate the prevalence of "poor absorption" (women using licensed estradiol doses with subtherapeutic levels), in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women using transdermal estradiol in the real world.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis in a specialist menopause clinic in the UK.

Results: Serum samples were obtained from 1,508 perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
