Twenty-two patients admitted to the narcological clinic of an industrial enterprise were examined for the clinical effect and pharmacokinetic parameters after intake of a single dose of a Soviet psychotropic drug mebicar. The clinical status was assessed by means of psychometric mapping and concurrent recording of the EEG. The correlation of the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data can be used for the choice of minimal effective concentrations applied in further calculations of individual dosage regimens.

Fixed dosing of alpelisib for children with vascular anomalies: Can we do better?
Br J Clin Pharmacol
January 2025
Vascular Anomaly Team, Sainte-Justine University Hospital, Université de Montréal, Canada.
Severe forms of vascular malformations (VM) can highly impact patients' quality of life and lead to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Numerous VM are caused by somatic activating mutations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway. Alpelisib, a PIK3CA inhibitor was recently FDA-approved for paediatric PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PROS).

JAMA Netw Open

Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Importance: The D842V platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) mutation identifies a molecular subgroup of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), primarily resistant to standard tyrosine kinase inhibitors and with an overall more indolent behavior. Although functional imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-labeled positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG-PET) plays a proven role in GISTs, especially in early assessment of tumor response, less is known about [18F]FDG uptake according to the GIST molecular subtypes.
Objective: To evaluate the degree of [18F]FDG uptake in PDGFRA-mutant GISTs and better define the role of functional imaging in this rare and peculiar subset of GISTs.
Pharmacokinetic and Exposure-Response Modeling Support Body Surface Area-Based Dosing of Farletuzumab Ecteribulin in Japanese Patients with Solid Tumors.

Eisai Inc., Nutley, NJ, USA.
The first-in-human, Phase 1 Study 101 showed antitumor activity and a tolerable safety profile of farletuzumab ecteribulin in Japanese patients with platinum-resistant ovarian and non-small cell lung cancer. A pharmacometric assessment evaluated farletuzumab ecteribulin pharmacokinetics and exposure-response (E-R) relationships for efficacy and safety to support dose optimization. Patients received 0.

Malaria and HIV co-infection are prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa causing significant drug interactions with co-treatment. We previously reported a 30%-70% reduction in exposure to the standard 3-day (6-dose) artemether-lumefantrine (AL) treatment for malaria when given with efavirenz-based HIV therapy, impacting malaria reinfection risk. We conducted a prospective, randomized study comparing the 3-day regimen to an extended 5-day (10-dose) regimen with pharmacokinetic sampling for artemether, dihydroartemisinin, lumefantrine, and desbutyl-lumefantrine (DBL) over 42 days.

Laboratoire de Pharmacologie et Toxicologie, Department of Pharmacology, UR 3801, Reims University Hospital, University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, 45 rue Cognacq Jay, 51092, Reims Cedex, France.
Background And Objective: Apixaban is increasingly being used for stroke prevention in patients with end-stage kidney disease with atrial fibrillation undergoing haemodialysis, but no pharmacostatistical model is available for dosage adjustment. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of apixaban in these patients to characterise its dialytic clearance and determine optimal dosing regimens and discontinuation timing before surgery.
Methods: Patients received 2.
