This randomized, double-blind, single- and multiple-ascending dose study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics, and safety of deucravacitinib (Sotyktu™), a selective and potent small-molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2, in 100 (75 active, 25 placebo) healthy volunteers (NCT02534636). Deucravacitinib was rapidly absorbed, with a half-life of 8-15 h, and 1.4-1.9-fold accumulation after multiple dosing. Deucravacitinib inhibited interleukin (IL)-12/IL-18-induced interferon (IFN)γ production ex vivo in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner. Following in vivo challenge with IFNα-2a, deucravacitinib demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of lymphocyte count decreases and expression of 53 IFN-regulated genes. There were no serious adverse events (AEs); the overall frequency of AEs was similar in the deucravacitinib (64%) and placebo (68%) groups. In this first-in-human study, deucravacitinib inhibited IL-12/IL-23 and type I IFN pathways in healthy volunteers, with favorable PK and safety profiles. Deucravacitinib is a promising therapeutic option for immune-mediated diseases, including Crohn's disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Dual inhibition of LAG-3 and PD-1 with IBI110 and sintilimab in advanced solid tumors: the first-in-human phase Ia/Ib study.
J Hematol Oncol
December 2024
The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Co-inhibition of immune checkpoints lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) and PD-1 is believed to enhance cancer immunotherapy through synergistic effects. Herein, we evaluate the safety and efficacy of IBI110 (anti-LAG-3 antibody) with sintilimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors.
Methods: In this open-label phase I study, phase Ia dose escalation of IBI110 monotherapy and phase Ib combination dose escalation of IBI110 plus sintilimab were conducted in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Purpose: CD38 is a glycoprotein highly specific to multiple myeloma (MM). Therapeutics using antibodies targeting CD38 have shown promising efficacy. However, the efficient stratification of patients who may benefit from daratumumab (Dara) therapy and timely monitoring of therapeutic responses remain significant clinical challenges.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Electronic address:
Background: The Magenta Elevate is a 9-F, self-expanding, catheter-mounted pump delivered sheathed through a commercially available 10-F femoral introducer over the wire to the left ventricle (LV), providing temporary hemodynamic support up to an equivalent of normal cardiac output.
Objectives: The authors sought to assess the feasibility and outcomes of Elevate-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) in a first-in-human study and study the hemodynamic impact of high-output support during prolonged interventional left main coronary artery (LM) occlusions.
Methods: In this study, 14 patients underwent Elevate-supported HR-PCI, with 8 patients undergoing 20 prolonged (39 ± 16 seconds) balloon occlusions of an unprotected LM.
Antigen-specific immune therapy (CNP-106) for treatment of generalised myasthenia gravis: rationale and design of first-in-human randomised controlled trial.
BMJ Neurol Open
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.
Introduction: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a T cell-dependent B cell-mediated autoimmune disease with pathogenic antibodies directed against components of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Current therapies do not address the root cause of the disease (autoimmune recognition of AChR) and are associated with possible serious side effects. Therefore, new therapeutic options targeting antigen-specific autoimmunity are needed.

3-Methylmethcathinone (3-MMC) is a designer drug that belongs to the group of synthetic cathinones. The compound has been scheduled in many jurisdictions because of public health concerns associated with excessive use. To date, there are no clinical studies that have evaluated the risk profile of 3-MMC in the recreational range of low to moderate doses.
