Pharmacokinetic profiling of imatinib in relation to CYP3A4 activity in leukaemia patients
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aim Imatinib pharmacokinetics exhibit large interindividual variability because of differences in CYP3A4 activity—the main imatinib‐metabolizing enzyme. While therapeutic drug monitoring is effective, it requires steady‐state conditions and frequent sampling.

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aims GLP‐1 medicines provide substantial cardio‐renal benefits for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and are increasingly used for weight loss. Most high‐income countries subsidize access for T2D with restrictions; use outside of these restrictions occurs through private prescriptions. Despite strong consumer demand, the extent of private access to GLP‐1 medicines

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...
