Recent and anticipated novel drug approvals for 2024
CONCLUSION: More oncology agents, including gene therapies, oral agents, and monoclonal antibodies, are in the pipeline this year. Additional diseases targeted by new novel drugs, including cellular and gene therapies, are hemophilia, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, Alzheimer's disease, and rare diseases such as galactosemia and epidermolysis bullosa.PMID:38373160 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae046 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)

Intravenous gentamicin therapy induces functional type VII collagen in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients: An open label clinical trial
CONCLUSIONS: IV gentamicin induced readthrough of nonsense mutations in RDEB patients and restored functional C7 in their skin, enhanced wound healing, and improved clinical parameters. IV gentamicin may be a safe, efficacious, low cost, and readily available therapy in this population of RDEB patients.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov Identifiers: NCT03392909.PMID:38366625 | DOI:10.1093/bjd/ljae063 (Source: The British Journal of Dermatology)
