Evaluating the Abuse Potential of Lenabasum, a Selective CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor Agonist [Behavioral Pharmacology]

ASPET

Secondary VAS and pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints and adverse events were assessed. Three doses of lenabasum (20, 60, and 120mg) were compared to placebo, and nabilone (3 and 6mg). The primary endpoint was the peak effect (Emax) on a bipolar Drug Liking visual analog scale (VAS). Results : Lenabasum was safe and well tolerated.

Drug-induced long QT syndrome: Concept and non-clinical models for predicting the onset of drug-induced torsade de pointes in patients in compliance with ICH E14/S7B guidance [Minireview]

ASPET

This review details the onset mechanisms of drug-induced TdP, including I Kr inhibition, pharmacokinetic factors, autonomic regulation and reduced repolarization reserve. It also explores the utility of proarrhythmic surrogate markers (J-T peak , T peak -T end and terminal repolarization period) besides QT interval.

PureTech’s LYT-100 (Deupirfenidone) Demonstrates Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Proof-of-Concept in Phase 1 Multiple Ascending Dose and Food Effect Study

The Pharma Data

The study demonstrated favorable proof-of-concept for LYT-100’s tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, which will also enable twice-a-day (BID) dosing of LYT-100 in future studies. All adverse events (AEs) that were possibly or probably related to LYT-100 were mild and transient and there were no discontinuations. 1 Cottin, V.,

Single-Agent Divarasib (GDC-6036) in Solid Tumors with a KRAS G12C Mutation

Covalent Modifiers

The primary objective was an assessment of safety; pharmacokinetics, investigator-evaluated antitumor activity, and biomarkers of response and resistance were also assessed. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 127 patients (93%); grade 3 events occurred in 15 patients (11%) and a grade 4 event in 1 patient (1%).

Applying Artificial Intelligence to Transform the Patient Enrollment Paradigm in Clinical Research

PPD

AI can also predict the likelihood of a serious adverse event before administering the investigational product at an individual level, allowing patients to be categorized by their risk profile. A high-risk participant can be even excluded from the study based on the severity of the adverse event.
