The European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics—25 years’ young and going strong
Clinical pharmacology as a scientific discipline and medical specialty was unarguably born in the twentieth century. Whilst pharmacology—the science behind the treatment of disease—had been in evolution since at least medieval times, the clinical ...

Antibody-loading of biological nanocarrier vesicles derived from red-blood-cell membranes [PDF]
Antibodies, disruptive potent therapeutic agents against pharmacological targets, face a barrier crossing immune-system and cellular-membranes. To overcome these, various strategies have been explored including shuttling via liposomes or bio-camouflaged nanoparticles.

Reversal of hepatorenal syndrome type 1 with terlipressin plus albumin vs. placebo plus albumin in a pooled analysis of the OT-0401 and REVERSE randomised clinical studies [PDF]
Background The goal of hepatorenal syndrome type 1 (HRS-1) treatment is to improve renal function. Terlipressin, a synthetic vasopressin analogue, is a systemic vasoconstrictor used for the treatment of HRS-1, where it is available.

A pharmacokinetic -- viral kinetic model describes the effect of alisporivir monotherapy or in combination with peg-IFN on 2 hepatitis C virologic response [PDF]
Alisporivir is a cyclophilin inhibitor with demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against hepatitis C 11 virus (HCV). We estimated antiviral effectiveness of alisporivir alone or in combination with 12 pegylated-Inteferon (peg-IFN) in 88 patients infected with different HCV genotypes treated for four 13 weeks.

Standard PK/PD concepts can be applied to determine a dosage regimen for a macrolide: the case of tulathromycin in the calf [PDF]
The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tulathromycin, administered to calves subcutaneously at the dosage of 2.5 mg/kg, was established in serum, inflamed (exudate), and noninflamed (transudate) fluids in a tissue cage model. The PK profile of tulathromycin

Muscle‐directed gene therapy corrects Pompe disease and uncovers species‐specific GAA immunogenicity
Pompe disease is a severe disorder caused by loss of acid α‐glucosidase (GAA), leading to glycogen accumulation in tissues and neuromuscular and cardiac dysfunction. Enzyme replacement therapy is the only available treatment. AT845 is an adeno‐associated
