Emerging experimental drugs in clinical trials for migraine: observations and key talking points
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2023 Sep 8:1-11. doi: 10.1080/13543784.2023.2254691. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: There have been significant advances in the treatment of migraine. In response to the clinical success of monoclonal antibodies targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide, there is interest in the clinical trial outcomes of alternative emerging drugs that act on novel targets associated with migraine pathophysiology. As approximately 50% of patients do not respond to CGRP therapies, there is significant value in future drug innovation. Emerging drugs in clinical trials for the treatment of migraine ai...

A phase-I randomized euglycemic clamp study to demonstrate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic equivalence of an insulin degludec biosimilar (B01411) with the reference product in healthy Chinese volunteers
CONCLUSION: B01411 exhibited a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic similarity to the reference product. Both IDeg products were well tolerated.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn/index.html#. Identifier is CTR20192122.PMID:37665683 | DOI:10.1080/13543784.2023.2254690 (Source: Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs)

Investigational monoclonal antibodies in early development for psoriatic arthritis: beyond the biosimilars
This article reviews available results from phase I to phase III trials of several investigational monoclonal antibodies that the FDA has not yet approved for PsA. The proposed mechanisms of the new therapeutic agents and their relevance to the pathogenesis of PsA will be discussed. The investigational agents' efficacy and safety will be summarized, and their potential clinical applications for managing PsA will be contemplated.EXPERT OPINION: Due to recent advances in understanding psoriatic arthritis, therapeutic agents are increasingly focused on inhibiting interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 pathways. Various strategies ...
