AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
With advances of drug design and preparation technology, the development of long-acting drugs has become an important research focus in precision medicine and chronic disease management. These drugs are designed to improve the patients' compliance and quality of life by achieving prolonged maintenance of an effective drug concentration in the body with a reduced dosing frequency. Small molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies and nucleic acid drugs all have their own difficulties in achieving long actions, which can be especially challenging for the latter two because of their structural complexity. This review provides an overview of the strategies for designing long-acting small molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and nucleic acid drugs.

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.

Pharmacologic Management of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in Older Adults.
Drugs Aging

There are several pharmacologic agents that have been touted as guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is important to recognize that older adults with HFpEF also contend with an increased risk for adverse effects from medications due to age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, as well as the concurrence of geriatric conditions such as polypharmacy and frailty. With this review, we discuss the underlying evidence for the benefits of various treatments in HFpEF and incorporate key considerations for older adults, a subpopulation that may be at higher risk for adverse drug events.

Biomarkers play a pivotal role in the selection and enrollment of trial participants. Particularly, predictive biomarkers help tailor medical care to individual patients; however, also prognostic biomarkers require consideration at the design stage. At the time of initiating a clinical trial, there may be uncertainty about whether a biomarker is predictive or prognostic, and the trial design may need to account for this.
