Evaluation of Potential Effects of CYP3A Inhibition and CYP3A Induction on the Pharmacokinetics of Fruquintinib in Healthy Subjects

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A plays a significant role in fruquintinib metabolism in vitro. This 2‐part, 2‐period fixed‐sequence study investigated the impact of CYP3A inhibition (itraconazole) and CYP3A induction (rifampin) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of fruquintinib and M11, its main metabolite.

Populations Addressed in Vaccines Approved via the European Medicines Agency

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Therapeutic and prophylactic agents require robust evidence before patient use. Randomized controlled trials are essential for evaluating safety and efficacy but often exclude specific populations that are also targets for the intervention. This study assessed which populations are included in vaccine registration studies and/or addressed in label ...

Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk?

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
Chlorine is essential for the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals but poses significant safety and environmental risks. Herein, processes are presented that substitute chlorine or reduce its demand. Where indispensable, trichloride‐ and bichloride‐based ionic liquids could enhance safety and streamline the integration of renewable energy ...
