Clinical relevance of pharmacogenomic information for improving prescribing practices in acutely admitted older medical patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Safe prescribing and effective medication review during acute hospitalization depends on accurate information about liver and kidney function because these organs are responsible for the elimination of most medications. While estimates for kidney function are widely used, comparable markers of hepatic drug‐metabolizing capacity are not routinely ...

Adaptive imatinib regimens can mitigate cumulative toxicity while sustaining hemodynamic benefit: A model‐based simulation of the positioning imatinib for pulmonary arterial hypertension trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Imatinib improves hemodynamics in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but dose‐dependent toxicity has limited its clinical development. We aimed to quantify the dose–efficacy–toxicity relationship and evaluate alternative dosing strategies using data from the PIPAH trial.
