Clinical Significance of Drug–Drug Interaction Studies During Therapeutic Peptide Drug Development: Follow‐Up Investigation of Therapeutic Peptides Approved Between 2021 and 2024 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The risk of clinically relevant drug–drug interactions (DDIs) for therapeutic peptides remains unclear, mandating a comprehensive analysis for this modality. In our prior study, we analyzed DDIs for 31 peptide drugs approved between January 2008 and August 2021.

Tn-seq screens in Candida glabrata treated with echinocandins and ibrexafungerp reveal pathways of antifungal resistance and cross-resistance [PDF]
Candida glabrata (also known as Nakaseomyces glabratus) is the second most common cause of candidiasis, next to Candida albicans, and is rising in prevalence due to intrinsic and acquired mechanisms of antifungal resistance.

Length of hospital and intensive care unit stay in patients with invasive candidiasis and/or candidemia treated with rezafungin: a pooled analysis of two randomised controlled trials. [PDF]
Invasive candidiasis/candidemia (IC/C) is associated with a substantial health economic burden driven primarily by prolonged hospital stay. The once-weekly IV echinocandin, rezafungin acetate, has demonstrated non-inferiority to caspofungin in the ...
