Drugs and drug candidates discussed:
palbociclib, neratinib, Herceptin, Perjeta, Kadcyla, Tykerb, Afinitor
Volasertib is a polo-like kinase (Plk) inhibitor being developed by Boehringer Ingelheim for the treatment of AML.
Midostaurin is a multiple kinase inhibitor, which interferes with cellular signal transduction pathways. While the drug exhibits efficacy against a number of kinases, its efficacy against FLT3 is of particular relevance to AML.
The study was just closed early, as LCZ696 increased time to first occurrence of either
cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization, though details have not been released.
We surveyed 10 US Cardiologists to get a preview of how they would use LCZ696 under different
assumptions about what the study found.
This report discusses common ophthalmic diseases/disorders, prevalence, estimated U.S. procedure volumes, leading energy-based (laser and phacoemulsification, or “phaco”) ophthalmic surgical systems and their features, and novel technologies. A detailed U.S. market analysis, competitive analysis, and company profiles of selected U.S. competitors are also provided.
These pathways can be targeted either at the cell surface receptor
level or their downstream signaling cascades. Currently, everolimus in combination with
exemestane represents a new standard of care for patients progressing on non-steroidal AIs.
HDAC inhibitors have also shown promising results For innate resistance, the combination of
fulvestrant and AI in the front line setting represents a new treatment option, particularly for
patients who present with de novo metastatic disease.
Eslicarbazepine has been approved in ex-US markets including the EU for years.
We surveyed 10 US Neurologists to determine prelaunch perceptions of Aptiom.
KOL Highlights Include: The prevalence of cirrhosis due to NASH will far exceed that of cirrhosis due to Hepatitis C. Decreases in NAS score due to liver fat changes are not predictive of beneficial outcomes. Increasing LDL in patients with fatty liver disease is a concern. Results seen in animal models of NAFLD/NASH translate to […]
Macitentan is a novel dual endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA)
showing sustained receptor occupancy
The prevalence data would suggest that in the US population about 30% of our population has fatty liver or NAFLD and of those 25% may have NASH and of those patients with NASH 25% percent may have fibrosis and progress to cirrhosis. It’s almost a pyramid effect, there may be 80 million Americans walking around with NAFLD, but to climb up to the top of the pyramid and develop cirrhosis would be about 5% of that total population, but that’s still significant because that would mean that the prevalence of cirrhosis [due to NASH] will exceed that of hepatitis C-related cirrhosis ten-fold
Palbociclib (PD 0332991): targeting the cell cycle machinery in breast cancer
Areas covered: Selexipag is rapidly hydrolyzed to an active metabolite, ACT-333679. Both selexipag and its metabolite are highly selective for the IP receptor compared with other prostanoid receptors. This selectivity for the IP receptor offers the potential for improved tolerability with selexipag, as side effects (e.g., nausea and vomiting) that might result from activation of the other prostanoid receptors may be minimized.
At SfN, they showed some interesting preclinical data on the affect on the 5-HT7 and how it works in some animal models of cognition…especially those injected with PCPA. And you know in depression, they also did what we call the chronic mild stress (CMS)
This report presents an overview of selected medical specialties and the number of surgical procedures performed for selected diseases/disorders in the European Union country of Spain.
The intensity and high acuity of the critical care environment, combined with the shortage of experienced registered nurses, means that noninvasive and minimally invasive patient monitoring products will be in great demand during the forecast period covered by this report.
