Is a low dose of dexamethasone sufficient to prevent paclitaxel-related hypersensitivity reactions? A retrospective study in patients with gynecologic malignancy
CONCLUSIONS: In gynecologic malignancies, 10 mg dexamethasone along with 20 mg diphenhydramine may be adequate to prevent paclitaxel HSRs without ranitidine. It is necessary to reevaluate paclitaxel premedication regimens.PMID:38652518 | DOI:10.1080/17512433.2024.2343852 (Source: Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology)

Improvement of assessment in surrogate endpoint and safety outcome of single-arm trials for anticancer drugs
Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 21:1-11. doi: 10.1080/17512433.2024.2344669. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Single-arm trials (SATs) and surrogate endpoints were adopted as pivotal evidence for accelerated approval of anticancer drugs for more than 30 years. However, concerns regarding clinical evidence quality in trials, particularly in the SATs of anticancer drugs have increasingly been raised. SAT may not always provide strong evidence due to the lack of control and endpoint of overall survival that is typically present in randomized controlled trials.AREAS COVERED: Clinical trial endpoint adjudication ...

Opioid use disorder in pediatric populations: considerations for perioperative pain management and precision opioid analgesia
Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1080/17512433.2024.2343915. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Opioids are commonly used for perioperative analgesia, yet children still suffer high rates of severe post-surgical pain and opioid-related adverse effects. Persistent and severe acute surgical pain greatly increases the child's chances of chronic surgical pain, long-term opioid use, and opioid use disorder.AREAS COVERED: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, are often inadequate in treating a child's severe surgical pain. Research suggests that 'older' and longer-acting opioids such as methad...
