Purpose Of Review: Because of the complexity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), different approaches are undertaken while investigating potential therapeutic compounds to treat the disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize the results from recent clinical trials, which investigated different compounds for treating SLE.
Recent Findings: Targeting B cells and type I interferons constitutes the major focus in recent clinical trials. The potential for therapeutic effects of small molecule inhibition such as JAK, Tyk, and Btk is now being investigated for treating SLE. The immunoregulation of T cell activation in SLE is studied using low-dose IL-2 and CD40 ligand inhibition. There are clinical trials that study bispecific antibodies, with binding specificities for 2 different target molecules related to T- and B-cell activation or to different aspects of B cell activation. An approach of combination treatment is also being studied. Clinical trials are underway and new treatment compounds for SLE are being anticipated.

Introduction: Although there are numerous options for epilepsy treatment, its effective control continues unsatisfactory. Thus, search for alternative therapeutic options to improve the efficacy/safety binomial of drugs becomes very attractive to investigate. In this context, intranasal administration of antiseizure drugs formulated on state-of-the-art nanosystems can be a promising strategy.

The rapid development and deployment of mRNA and non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have played a pivotal role in mitigating the global pandemic. Despite their success in reducing severe disease outcomes, emerging concerns about cardiovascular complications have raised questions regarding their safety. This systematic review critically evaluates the evidence on the cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 vaccines, assessing both their protective and adverse impacts, while considering the challenges posed by the limited availability of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data on these rare adverse events.
