Therapeutic drug monitoring of antimicrobials in a paediatric setting: A retrospective single‐centre study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Paediatric pharmacokinetics differ significantly from adults due to age‐related physiological changes, necessitating precise dose adjustments. However, data on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) implementation in paediatric setting remain limited.

Shifting Valproic Acid to Levetiracetam in Women of Childbearing Age With Epilepsy: A Retrospective Investigation and Review of the Literature

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Objective: Valproic acid is the most high-risk teratogenic antiepileptic drug, and it may lead to fetal major congenital malformations. However, it is still used in women of childbearing age with epilepsy.

Active surveillance of drug safety in healthcare data: Sequential monitoring of bacterial and serious urinary tract infection risk in sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor users

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Active surveillance of adverse events using healthcare data is emerging as complementary to the monitoring of spontaneous reports and stand‐alone pharmacoepidemiologic studies. The risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) was listed as a special warning for sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) when marketed in Europe

Identification of major congenital malformations based on healthcare databases in France: A proof‐of‐concept study using the epi‐meres nationwide mother–child register

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Besides registries, healthcare databases can provide useful information for assessing the frequency of major congenital malformations (MCMs) and investigating their risk factors, particularly medication exposures. This study aimed to assess the validity of MCMs identification based on French national, comprehensive healthcare databases ...

Supratherapeutic drug concentration triggers: A novel data‐driven approach to assess their value for medication safety surveillance in intensive care

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Electronic triggers (e‐triggers) are used as screening signals to detect potential adverse drug events (ADEs) and offer an effective system level approach for medication safety surveillance. Their clinical utility is typically evaluated through time‐consuming manual chart review by experts, limiting implementation.

Systemic Metabolomic Profiling of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients before and During Disease-Stabilizing Treatment Based on All-Trans Retinoic Acid, Valproic Acid, and Low-Dose Chemotherapy

Cells, 2019
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive malignancy, and many elderly/unfit patients cannot receive intensive and potentially curative therapy. These patients receive low-toxicity disease-stabilizing treatment.

Case‐malformed signal detection and prioritisation using EUROmediCAT data for pharmacovigilance in pregnancy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Many women take medications during pregnancy. However, the risk to the fetus from most medications is uncertain. Congenital anomalies are one of the leading causes of infant death and contribute to long‐term disability. Signal detection methods can be used to systematically identify possible medication–anomaly associations that require further ...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as a Translational Biomarker in Early‐Phase Anti‐Seizure Medication Development: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Study in Generalized Epilepsy

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
One‐third of epilepsy patients remain treatment‐resistant, underscoring the need for novel anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) and reliable biomarkers of central target engagement. Cortical hyperexcitability is a hallmark of epilepsy, making excitability a valuable pharmacodynamic biomarker for early‐phase drug development supporting go/no‐go decision ...
