Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

842
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...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Endothelin Receptor Antagonists

223
Endothelins (ETs) are potent vasoactive peptides critical in the human body's various physiological and pathological processes. One of the most promising therapeutic strategies for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) involves counteracting the effects of these endothelins using a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists.
ETs are synthesized through a complex sequence of enzymatic steps, primarily involving an enzyme referred to as endothelin-converting enzyme...

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

738
Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

983
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells.
  • Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma presents a significant unmet medical need, often requiring novel therapeutic strategies.
  • B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a validated target in multiple myeloma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key developmental milestones of linvoseltamab.
  • To highlight the regulatory approval of linvoseltamab in the European Union.
  • To provide an overview of linvoseltamab's mechanism of action and its indication.

Main Methods:

  • Linvoseltamab is a bispecific antibody engineered to bind both BCMA on malignant B cells and CD3 on T cells.
  • This dual binding redirects T cells to engage and eliminate BCMA-expressing tumor cells.
  • Development milestones encompass preclinical studies, clinical trials, and regulatory submissions.

Main Results:

  • Linvoseltamab received its first marketing authorization in the EU on April 28, 2025.
  • The approval is for monotherapy use in adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
  • Patients must have received at least three prior therapies, including specific classes of agents, and shown disease progression.

Conclusions:

  • Linvoseltamab represents a novel therapeutic option for patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma.
  • The EU approval signifies a major advancement in BCMA-directed immunotherapy.
  • This milestone underscores the potential of bispecific antibodies in treating hematologic malignancies.
