Abstract
PURPOSE: Although phenytoin is one of the most commonly used antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), it has potential serious side effects and drug interactions. Levetiracetam is a relatively newer AED with favorable pharmacokinetics and could be an effective and safer option for the treatment of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE). We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety profile of intravenous levetiracetam and phenytoin as second-line treatment agents in children with CSE and acute repetitive seizures (ARS).
METHOD: Two hundred seventy-seven patients aged between 1 month and 18 years who received intravenous levetiracetam or phenytoin as a second-line AED with the diagnosis of CSE or ARS were retrospectively evaluated. Drug efficacy was defined as control of seizures without the need for any additional medication after completion of the infusion and no recurrence in the following 12 h. The primary outcome was drug efficacy. The secondary outcomes included application of an additional second-line AED, induction of anesthesia, and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and drug-related adverse reactions.
RESULTS: No differences were found between the two treatment groups with regard to patient characteristics and seizure type. The efficacy of levetiracetam was higher than that of phenytoin (77.6% vs 57.7%, P = 0.011) in children with CSE. There was no significant difference between the efficacy rates of levetiracetam and phenytoin for ARS (55.8% vs 58.8%, P = 0.791). Overall, drug efficacy was 70.9% for levetiracetam and 58.1% for phenytoin (P = 0.048). For CSE, the need for additional second-line treatment, anesthesia induction, and ICU admission was higher in the phenytoin group (P = 0.001, P = 0.038, P = 0.02, respectively). Drug-related adverse reactions were more frequent in the phenytoin group than the levetiracetam group (23.3% vs 1.4%; P < 0.001). The most common adverse reaction in the phenytoin group was hypotension. Phenytoin-related anaphylaxis was detected in one patient. No serious adverse effects related to levetiracetam were observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous levetiracetam seems as effective as intravenous phenytoin in emergency treatment of children with ARS and more effective for CSE in stopping the seizure with less risk of recurrence. Levetiracetam has fewer cardiovascular side effects and has a safer profile than phenytoin. Intravenous levetiracetam is a favorable option as a first second-line AED for pediatric seizures.

Abstract
Myelosuppression is one of the most common and severe adverse events associated with anti-cancer therapies and can be a source of drug attrition. Current mathematical modeling methods for assessing cytopenia risk rely on indirect measurements of drug effects and primarily focus on single lineage responses to drugs. However, anti-cancer therapies have diverse mechanisms with varying degrees of effect across hematopoietic lineages. To improve predictive understanding of drug-induced myelosuppression, we developed a quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model of hematopoiesis in vitro for quantifying the effects of anti-cancer agents on multiple hematopoietic cell lineages. We calibrated the system parameters of the model to cell kinetics data without treatment and then validated the model by showing that the inferred mechanisms of anti-proliferation and/or cell-killing are consistent with the published mechanisms for three classes of drugs with different mechanisms of action. Using a set of compounds as a sample set, we then analyzed novel compounds to predict their mechanisms and magnitude of myelosuppression. Further, these quantitative mechanisms are valuable for the development of translational in vivo models to predict clinical cytopenia effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tegoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker for the treatment of acid-related disorders.
AIMS: To assess whether tegoprazan is non-inferior to lansoprazole in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with gastric ulcers.
METHODS: In this phase 3, double-blind, active control, multicentre study, 306 gastric ulcer patients were randomised to one of three treatment groups: tegoprazan 50 mg, tegoprazan 100 mg and lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4 or 8 weeks.The primary endpoint was the cumulative percentages of patients with healed ulcers confirmed by endoscopy up to 8 weeks from treatment initiation. Symptoms and safety were assessed.
RESULTS: In the full analysis set, the cumulative healing rates at week 8 were 94.8% (91/96) for the tegoprazan 50 mg, 95.0% (94/99) for the tegoprazan 100 mg and 95.7% (89/93) for the lansoprazole 30 mg groups. At week 4, the respective healing rates were 90.6% (87/96), 91.9% (91/99), and 89.2% (83/93). In per protocol analysis, 4-week healing rates were 95.4% (84/88), 94.6% (88/93) and 92.9% (79/85) for tegoprazan 50 mg, tegoprazan 100 mg and lansoprazole 30 mg, respectively. Both doses of tegoprazan were non-inferior to lansoprazole in ulcer healing at 4 and 8 weeks. The incidence of drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events did not differ among groups. The increase in serum gastrin concentration was not higher in tegoprazan-treated patients than in lansoprazole-treated patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Tegoprazan 50 or 100 mg were not inferior to lansoprazole 30 mg once daily in the treatment of gastric ulcers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for potential Drug-Related Problems (DRP) at admission in hospitalized patients.
METHODOLOGY: Prospective cohort study conducted in adults patients hospitalized (May 2016 to May 2018) in a general tertiary care hospital in Brazil. Potential DRP were detected by daily review of 100% of electronic medication orders by hospital pharmacists and classified by the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe classification system (PCNE version 6.2). For the identification of risk factors of potential DRP, backward stepwise logistic regression was used to identify the set of independent predictors among over 120 variables collected in the initial 48 hours after admission in a training set consisting of 2/3 of the study population. The model was validated in the remaining sample.
RESULTS: The study population consisted of 1686 patients aged 52.0+/- 18.3 years-old, 51.4% females, with a median length of stay of 3.24 days, and 4.5% in-hospital mortality. The cumulative incidence of potential DRP was 14.5%. Admission for elective surgery and main diagnosis of disease of the circulatory system were associated with reduced risk of DRP (OR 0.41 and 0.57, respectively, p<0.05). The independent risk factors of DRP are heart rate ≥ 80 bpm (OR 1.41, p = 0.05), prescription of more than seven drugs in day 2 (OR 1.63, p = 0.05), prescription in day 1 of drugs of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Code (ATC) class A (alimentary tract and metabolism, OR 2.24, p = 0.003), prescription in day 2 of two or more ATC class A drugs (OR = 3.52, p<0.001), and in day 1 of ATC class J drugs (antiinfectives for systemic use, OR 1.97, p = 0.001). In the validation set, the c-statistic of the predictive model was 0.65, the sensitivity was 56.1% and the specificity was 65.2%.
CONCLUSION: This study identified seven independent risk factors of potential DRP in patients hospitalized in a general hospital that have fair predictive performance for utilization in clinical practice.

Abstract
AIM: Anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors may relate to global or segmental left ventricular abnormalities from associated thromboembolic events and myocardial microinfarcts. We characterized left ventricular segmental changes by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in anthracycline-treated asymptomatic childhood cancer survivors.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Childhood cancer survivors' echocardiograms with normal left ventricular fractional shortening >1 year after anthracycline chemotherapy were studied. Cancer-free control children had normal echocardiograms. Apical two-, three-, and four-chamber peak systolic left ventricular longitudinal and global longitudinal strain, and peak systolic left ventricular radial and circumferential strain at papillary muscle levels were analyzed. The mean (standard deviation) age was 12.7 (3.8) years in 41 childhood cancer survivors. The median (interquartile range) follow-up after anthracycline chemotherapy was 4.73 (2.15-8) years. The median (range) cumulative anthracycline dose was 160.2 (60-396.9) mg/m2. In childhood cancer survivors, the mean (standard deviation) left ventricular longitudinal strain was lower in two- (-18.6 [3.2] versus -21.3 [2.5], p < 0.001), three- (-16.3 [6.0] versus -21.7 [3.0], p < 0.001), and four- (-17.6 [2.7] versus -20.8 [2.0], p < 0.001) chamber views compared to controls. The left ventricular global longitudinal strain (-17.6 [2.7] versus -21.3 [2.0]) and circumferential strain (-20.8 [4.3] versus -23.5 [2.6], p < 0.001) were lower in childhood cancer survivors. Among childhood cancer survivors, 12 out of 16 left ventricular segments had significantly lower longitudinal strain than controls.
CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic anthracycline-treated childhood cancer survivors with normal left ventricular fractional shortening had lower global longitudinal and circumferential strain. The left ventricular longitudinal strain was lower in majority of the segments, suggesting that anthracycline cardiotoxicity is more global than regional.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We conducted this study to assess the effect of baseline body mass index (BMI) on the toxicity and efficacy of systemic chemotherapy among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a pooled analysis of 5 clinical trials (NCT00115765, NCT00364013, NCT00272051, NCT00305188, and NCT00384176), which were accessed from the Project Data Sphere (www.projectdatasphere.org) platform. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between BMI and the probability of different toxicities. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were used to assess the effect of BMI on overall and progression-free survival. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was additionally conducted to evaluate the effect of BMI on overall and progression-free survival.
RESULTS: A total of 3155 patients were included in the current analysis. Within multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher BMI was associated with higher probability of all-grade nausea and vomiting (odds ratio [OR], 1.025; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.009-1.042; P = .002) and peripheral neuropathy (OR, 1.018; 95% CI, 1.001-1.034; P = .036; analysis restricted to oxaliplatin-treated patients). Lower BMI was associated with a higher probability of all-grade anemia (OR, 0.975; 95% CI, 0.956-0.995; P = .015), high-grade anemia (OR, 0.941; 95% CI, 0.890-0.994; P = .030), all-grade neutropenia (OR, 0.983; 95% CI, 0.968-0.999; P = .034), and high-grade neutropenia (OR, 0.962; 95% CI, 0.945-0.979; P < .001). Higher BMI also seemed to correlate with better overall survival in a multivariable Cox regression model (hazard ratio as a continuous variable: 0.977; 95% CI, 0.967-0.988; P < .001).
CONCLUSION: Lower BMI was associated with a higher risk of hematological toxicities (anemia and neutropenia) whereas higher BMI might be associated with a higher risk of nausea, vomiting, and peripheral neuropathy. Higher BMI also seemed to be associated with better overall survival among patients with metastatic CRC.

Abstract
The Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) vaccine shows variable efficacy in protection against adult tuberculosis (TB). Earlier, we have described a BCG mutant vaccine with a transposon insertion in the gene coding for the secreted acid phosphatase SapM, which led to enhanced long-term survival of vaccinated mice challenged with TB infection. To facilitate development of this mutation as part of a future improved live attenuated TB vaccine, we have now characterized the genome and transcriptome of this sapM::Tn mutant versus parental BCG Pasteur. Furthermore, we show that the sapM::Tn mutant had an equal low pathogenicity as WT BCG upon intravenous administration to immunocompromised SCID mice, passing this important safety test. Subsequently, we investigated the clearance of this improved vaccine strain following vaccination and found a more effective innate immune control over the sapM::Tn vaccine bacteria as compared to WT BCG. This leads to a fast contraction of IFNγ producing Th1 and Tc1 cells after sapM::Tn BCG vaccination. These findings corroborate that a live attenuated vaccine that affords improved long-term survival upon TB infection can be obtained by a mutation that further attenuates BCG. These findings suggest that an analysis of the effectiveness of innate immune control of the vaccine bacteria could be instructive also for other live attenuated TB vaccines that are currently under development, and encourage further studies of SapM mutation as a strategy in developing a more protective live attenuated TB vaccine.

Abstract
A multi-centre, randomised, double-blinded, active-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial was carried out to assess the immunogenicity and safety of NBP608-a newly developed live-attenuated zoster vaccine in Korea-relative to Zostavax® in healthy adults aged 50 years or older. Immune responses to the vaccine were evaluated by glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assays using the interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-2 FluoroSpot kit 6 weeks after vaccination. Safety was monitored for 26 weeks based on subjects' diaries, spontaneous reports from subjects, and history taking by the investigators. A total of 845 subjects participated in the screening, and 823 received the vaccination (413 in the NBP608 group and 411 in the comparator group). The gpELISA-determined geometric mean fold rise from baseline to post NBP608 vaccination was 2.75 [95% confidence interval, CI (2.57, 2.94)]. The gpELISA-determined adjusted geometric mean titers (GMTs) of NBP608 and the comparator were 1346.37 [95% CI (1273.99, 1422.87)] and 1674.94 [95% CI (1585.35, 1769.58)], respectively. The adjusted GMT ratio of NBP608 to the comparator was 0.80 [95% CI (0.75, 0.87)]. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of the geometric mean spot numbers determined by IFN-γ and IL-2 ELISPOT assays at 6 weeks post vaccination (P = 0.7232, 0.3844). The incidence of adverse events (AEs) within 6 weeks post vaccination was 49.82% overall (410/823, 941 cases), 50.73% (209/412, 474 cases) in the NBP608 group, and 48.91% (201/411, 467 cases) in the comparator group. The difference in AE rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P = 0.6010). Most AEs were mild, with a rate of 83.12% in the NBP608 group and 75.37% in the comparator group. Thus, NBP608 is non-inferior to Zostavax® in terms of inducing the immune response and can be safely administered to adults aged 50 years or older. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03120364.

Abstract
We reported the efficacy and safety data for daclatasvir (DCV)-based all-oral antiviral therapy in patients treated in the Italian compassionate-use program. 275 patients were included (202 male-73.5%, mean age: 57.4 years, 62 HIV-coinfected, 94 with recurrence of hepatitis C post-OLT). Forty-nine patients (17.8%) had Child-Pugh B, Genotype(G) distribution was: G1a:72 patients (26.2%), G1b:137 (49.8%); G3:40 (14.5%) and G4:26 (9.5%). Patients received DCV with sofosbuvir(SOF) (n = 221, 129 with ribavirin(RBV) or with simeprevir (SMV) or asunaprevir (ASU) (n = 54, 19 with RBV) for up to 24 weeks. Logistic regression was used to identify baseline characteristics associated with sustained virological response at week 12 post-treatment (SVR12). Liver function changes between baseline and follow up were assessed in 228 patients. 240 patients achieved SVR12 (87.3%), post transplant and HIV co-infected patients were equally distributed among SVR and no SVR (35% vs 34.3%; p = 0.56 and 24.2% vs 11.4%, p = 0.13, respectively). SVR rate was significantly higher with the combination DCV + SOF compared with DCV + SIM or ASU (93.2% vs 63.0%, p < 0.0001). Bilirubin value (OR: 0.69, CI95%: 0.54-0.87, p = 0.002) and regimen containing SOF (OR: 9.99, CI95%: 4.09-24.40; p < 0.001) were independently related with SVR. Mean albumin and bilirubin values significantly improved between baseline and follow-up week 12. DCV-based antiviral therapy was well tolerated and resulted in a high SVR when combined with SOF either in pre-transplant and in OLT patients and in "difficult to treat" HCV genotypes. Regimens containing DCV in combination with NS3 protease inhibitors obtained suboptimal results.

Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine the frequency and characteristics of safety advisories issued by medicines regulatory agencies in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US).
METHODS: This retrospective analysis examines medicines safety warnings issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada (HC), the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) from January 1, 2007 until December 31, 2016. A database of warnings obtained from regulators' websites was developed and warnings were classified by communication type, drug, or therapeutic class focus, and the risk discussed. Advisories identifying the same drug or therapeutic class and risk were combined into groups termed "drug-risk issues" for comparisons between regulators.
RESULTS: Over this 10-year period, 1441 advisories were identified, with the MHRA issuing the most advisories (MHRA = 469, FDA = 382, HC = 370 TGA = 220). Seventy two percent focussed on single drugs (1034/1441) and 58.7% were alerts (846/1441) posted on the regulators' websites. Diabetes drugs, smoking cessation drugs and immunomodulatory agents were the individual drug types most often subject to safety advisories, while antidepressants, antipsychotics, and proton-pump inhibitors were the top three therapeutic classes. Of 680 identified drug-risk issues, 3.8% (26/680) described a risk of death. By body system, cardiac effects were the most frequent: 10.4% (71/680).
CONCLUSION: We found considerable differences in the use of advisories including frequency, communication type, and focus. Disparities in communication about emergent evidence on risks may mean that clinicians and patients in some countries are less well informed about medicine safety concerns than others.

Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol. 2019 10;19(5):439-446
Authors: Sala-Cunill A, Luengo O, Cardona V
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The use of biologicals as therapeutic agents in oncology and other inflammatory diseases has dramatically increased during the last years. Due to their biological nature and inherent immunological activity, they are able to induce important adverse events, such as cytokine release reactions (rapid release of proinflammatory cytokines), serum sickness disease, and immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. The aim of the current article is to review the state of the art of anaphylaxis because of biological agents.
RECENT FINDINGS: Different phenotypes, and potential underlying endotypes, have been described in anaphylactic reactions to biologicals. There seems to be a spectrum from type 1 reactions (IgE or non-IgE-mediated) to cytokine release reactions, with some reactions falling in between both. Management should be directed according to such phenotypes.
SUMMARY: There is ongoing research to further define immediate adverse reactions to biologicals and to find relevant biomarkers to aid in their diagnosis. Such information will serve in defining their immediate and long term management.
