Introduction: iGlarLixi, a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine 100 U/mL and the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) lixisenatide, is one option for treatment intensification in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who are unable to achieve targeted glycaemic control with their current glucose-lowering agent. Real-world data on the impact of prior treatment on the effectiveness and safety of iGlarLixi may be useful to guide individualised treatment decisions.
Methods: This analysis of the 6-month, retrospective, observational SPARTA Japan study compared glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight and safety for pre-specified subgroups defined by prior treatment: post oral antidiabetic agent (OAD), GLP-1 RA, basal insulin (BI) + OADs (BOT), GLP-1 RA + BI or multiple daily injections (MDI). The post BOT and MDI subgroups were further divided on the basis of prior dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) use, and the post MDI group was divided on the basis of whether participants continued bolus insulin.
Results: Of the 432 participants in the full analysis set (FAS), 337 were included in this subgroup analysis. Across subgroups, mean baseline HbA1c ranged from 8.49% to 9.18%. iGlarLixi significantly (p < 0.05) reduced mean HbA1c from baseline in all but the post GLP-1 RA + BI group. At 6 months, these significant reductions ranged from 0.47% to 1.27%. Prior DPP-4i exposure had no impact on the HbA1c-lowering effect of iGlarLixi. Mean body weight decreased significantly in the FAS (0.5 kg) and the post BOT (1.2 kg) and MDI (1.5 and 1.9 kg) subgroups but increased in the post GLP-1 RA subgroup (1.3 kg). iGlarLixi treatment was generally well tolerated, with very few participants discontinuing because of hypoglycaemia or gastrointestinal events.
Conclusion: In participants with suboptimal glycaemic control on various regimens, 6 months of iGlarLixi treatment improved HbA1c in all but one prior treatment subgroup (GLP-1 RA + BI), and was generally well tolerated.

Introduction: Lorecivivint (LOR), a CDC-like kinase/dual-specificity tyrosine kinase (CLK/DYRK) inhibitor thought to modulate inflammatory and Wnt pathways, is being developed as a potential intra-articular knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. The objective of this trial was to evaluate long-term safety of LOR within an observational extension of two phase 2 trials.
Methods: This 60-month, observational extension study (NCT02951026) of a 12-month phase 2a trial (NCT02536833) and 6-month phase 2b trial (NCT03122860) was administratively closed after 36 months as data inferences became limited.

Introduction: Atogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist approved for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults in the USA, EU, and several other countries. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and dose proportionality of atogepant in healthy Japanese participants, evaluate the safety and tolerability of atogepant in Japanese participants, and explore the differences in the PK and safety of atogepant in Japanese vs white participants.
Methods: A total of 50 participants (40 Japanese and 10 white) were enrolled into five cohorts; Japanese cohorts were randomized in a 4:1 ratio to atogepant (10 mg, 30 mg, or 60 mg daily dosing and 60 mg twice daily) or placebo.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by hypersecretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by typically benign phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors (PMTs). FGF23 excess causes chronic hypophosphatemia through renal phosphate losses and decreased production of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin-D. TIO presents with symptoms of chronic hypophosphatemia including fatigue, bone pain, weakness, and fractures.

The intestinal barrier function is a critical defense mechanism in the human body, serving as both the primary target and initiating organ in cases of sepsis. Preserving the integrity of this barrier is essential for preventing complications and diseases, including sepsis and mortality. Despite this importance, the impact of resveratrol on intestinal barrier function remains unclear.

China has implemented the "tiered medical services" policy since 2015, while there is a paucity of data evaluating the the current status of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management under the system. Characteristics and treatments from 11,905 COPD patients in 88 hospitals across different tiers in China were included and analyzed. We assessed the statistical significance of differences by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables and with the chi-squared test for categorical variables.
