Neprilysin inhibitors and risk of Alzheimer's disease: A future perspective
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Oct 17. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17993. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease with multifaceted neuropathological disorders. AD is characterized by intracellular accumulation of phosphorylated tau proteins and extracellular deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ). Various protease enzymes, including neprilysin (NEP), are concerned with the degradation and clearance of Aβ. Indeed, a defective neuronal clearance pathway due to the dysfunction of degradation enzymes might be a possible mechanism for the accumulation of Aβ and subsequent progression of AD n...

Towards improved predictions of pharmacokinetics of transported drugs in hepatic impairment: insights from the extended clearance model
AbstractHepatic impairment (HI) moderately (<  5-fold) affects the systemic exposure (i.e. area under the plasma concentration-time curve, AUC) of drugs that are substrates of the hepatic sinusoidal organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) transporters and are excreted unchanged in the bile and/or urine. However, the effect of HI on their AUC is much greater (>  10-fold) for drugs that are also substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A enzymes. Using the extended clearance model, through simulations, we identified the ratio of sinusoidal efflux clearance (CL) and the sum of metabolic and biliary CLs as importan...

Availability of comparative real-world evidence research in Medicare patients: implications for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services drug price negotiations
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate there is a considerable amount of comparative RWE for apixaban, rivaroxaban, and etanercept but limited comparative RWE for the other drugs set to undergo CMS price negotiations in 2026; additionally, our findings set up a number of next steps (e.g., risk of bias assessments) for further exploration of the available evidence base. Overall, CMS and manufacturers should consider proactively generating high-quality comparative RWE studies in the Medicare population to ensure that future price negotiations are based on robust evidence.PMID:37815792 | DOI:10.57264/cer-2023-0125 (Source: Journ...
