FDA Approved Drugs: Changes to Approved Drugs

343
Post-approval, manufacturers may modify an approved new or generic drug product. Such modifications can encompass alterations in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), manufacturing process, formulation, batch size, manufacturing site, and container closure system (FDA Guidance for Industry, April 2004). Often, a drug product may undergo multiple changes.These modifications require careful evaluation to determine their potential impact on the drug product's identity, strength, quality,...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

642
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that measures specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals to ensure the drug concentration stays within a therapeutic range. This monitoring is crucial for optimizing individual dosage regimens, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing drug-related toxicity. TDM is vital for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, significant variability in pharmacokinetics, and a clear correlation between plasma levels and...

Drug Products: Biologics, Biosimilars and Interchangeables

369
Biologics, derived from living sources such as humans, animals, or microorganisms, represent a significant category of pharmaceuticals. These complex molecules, developed through advanced biotechnological methods or purified from natural sources, include essential medical treatments like insulin and growth hormones. The complexity of biologics arises from their large molecular structures and the intricate processes required for their production, making them distinct from conventional...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.5K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

429
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF01:24

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

880
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Immunotherapy

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy characterized by molecular complexity and drug resistance.
  • The bone marrow microenvironment contributes to treatment resistance in MM.
  • Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to overcome resistance and target MM effectively.

Discussion:

  • Daratumumab (DARA), an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, has emerged as a significant advancement in MM therapy.
  • DARA targets CD38, a surface antigen highly expressed on myeloma cells.
  • Its mechanism of action may overcome tumor microenvironment-mediated resistance.

Key Insights:

  • Early clinical trials show DARA is safe and effective in heavily pretreated, relapsed MM patients.
  • DARA exhibits encouraging activity as a monotherapy and in combination regimens.
  • It offers a potential new option for patients refractory to standard therapies and stem cell transplant.

Outlook:

  • DARA is being evaluated in ongoing clinical trials, alone and with other MM agents.
  • Its potential as a first-in-class anti-CD38 mAb for MM is significant.
  • Further research will define its role in MM treatment paradigms.
