Targeted Anti‐IL‐1 Immunomodulatory Therapy in Pediatric Onset PPP1R13L‐Related Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function variants in PPP1R13L cause an ultra‐rare cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). PPP1R13L encodes iASPP, which has two potentially overlapping mechanisms driving ACM as both a regulator of NFκB‐mediated inflammation and a binding partner within the ...

Intravenous lanadelumab for the treatment of moderately ill COVID‐19 patients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Kallikrein‐kinin system (KKS) dysregulation is hypothesized to play a pathogenetic role in COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary oedema. To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits plasma kallikrein, in COVID‐19, we conducted a phase 2, open‐label, randomized‐controlled, proof‐of‐concept ...

Beyond the label: Rethinking off‐label drug use in paediatrics. Towards a scientifically grounded and safer future for paediatric pharmacotherapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite regulatory progress being made in the past two decades, off‐label drug use in paediatrics remains pervasive, with prevalence estimated between 3% and 97% of prescriptions across different clinical settings. Off‐label use—defined as prescribing outside the conditions described in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)—is often ...
