Advances in protein subunit vaccines against H1N1/09 influenza

Frontiers in Immunology
The A/H1N1pdm09 influenza virus, which caused the 2009 pandemic, has since become a recurring strain in seasonal influenza outbreaks. Given the ongoing threat of influenza, protein subunit vaccines have garnered significant attention for their safety and

Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling to evaluate favipiravir in combination with lopinavir–ritonavir in patients with COVID‐19

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The repurposed use of favipiravir in COVID‐19 has been reported to have limited clinical efficacy, yet it has been widely used in some countries. Favipiravir causes mutagenesis in RNA viruses, and it is currently unknown whether it may have a measurable effect on the virus in humans.

The need for novel influenza vaccines in low- and middle-income countries: A narrative review

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Influenza viruses cause 3–5 million severe cases and 300,000–600,000 deaths worldwide. Most of the disease burden is in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) owing to factors such as high population density, infrastructure challenges, poor quality ...

RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines From DPP4‐Using Merbecoviruses Elicit a Cross‐Reactive Antibody Response but Limited Cross‐Protective Immunity

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles displaying RBD‐SD1 from MERS‐CoV, NL140422, and HKU4 elicited robust and cross‐reactive IgG responses in mice. Only MERS‐CoV RBD‐SD1 induced neutralizing antibodies against MERS‐CoV and protected human DPP4 mice from a MERS‐CoV challenge, indicating conserved serologic but limited cross‐neutralizing epitopes.

Synthetic Cathepsin B Sensitive Adjuvant‐Peptide Conjugates to Target Intracellular Toll‐Like Receptors 7 and 8

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Cathepsin B‐sensitive peptide–adjuvant conjugates are designed, synthesized, and evaluated to deliver an antigenic peptid and an adjuvant targeting Toll‐like receptors 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) to antigen presenting cells. The adjuvant is released by cathepsin B resulting in antigen presentation and TLR mediated T cell activation.

Engineering Lipid Nanoparticles for Precision RNA Delivery: Design Principles, Targeting Strategies, and Clinical Prospects

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent the most clinically advanced platform for RNA delivery and have enabled major breakthroughs in vaccines and gene therapies. However, their broader application is still limited by inefficient extrahepatic delivery, immunogenicity, and insufficient control over tissue‐ and cell‐specific targeting. This review

Serious Infection in Crohn's Disease Patients Treated With Ustekinumab: US Food and Drug Administration Active Postmarket Risk Identification and Analysis in the Sentinel Initiative

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used an Active Postmarket Risk Identification and Analysis (ARIA) system to address a safety issue (serious infection) identified during clinical review of an application to market ustekinumab as a treatment for Crohn's disease (CD). FDA used an active‐comparator new‐user cohort design, data from six Sentinel

Optimal Dose and Safety of Intravenous Favipiravir in Hospitalized Patients With COVID‐19: A Dose‐Escalating, Randomized Controlled Phase Ib Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
AGILE (NCT04746183) is a Phase Ib/IIa platform, evaluating candidates to treat COVID‐19. Candidate Specific Trial 6 evaluated the safety and optimal dose of a novel intravenous formulation of favipiravir in a dose‐escalating, open‐label, randomized, controlled, Bayesian adaptive Phase Ib trial.
