Adverse Events During Dosing of Delayed-Release/Extended-Release Methylphenidate: Learnings From the Open-Label Phase of a Registration Trial and a Real-World Postmarketing Surveillance Program
Clin Ther. 2023 Sep 26:S0149-2918(23)00354-5. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2023.09.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Delayed-release/extended-release methylphenidate (DR/ER-MPH) (formerly HLD200) is an evening-dosed agent used for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Postmarketing surveillance data from approximately 74,000 patients exposed to DR/ER-MPH (up to June 17, 2022) were reported and compared with the open-label, treatment-optimization phase of a Phase III clinical trial to derive possible learnings on how to approach adverse events (AEs) that emerge during dose titration.METHODS: An an...

Cognition and Cerebral Blood Flow After Extracranial Carotid Revascularization for Carotid Atherosclerosis: A Systematic Review
Clin Ther. 2023 Sep 26:S0149-2918(23)00346-6. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2023.09.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Extracranial atherosclerotic carotid stenosis is associated with inadequate cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cognitive dysfunction. The impact of extracranial carotid revascularization on cognition and how any cognitive change relates to changes in CBF are less clear. This review examines the effects of revascularization of extracranial carotid disease by carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid stenting (CAS) on cognition, and how this relates to changes in CBF.METHODS: A systematic review of existing rep...
