Investigator-initiated Clinical Trials Conducted By The Portuguese Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (PtCRIN)
Abstract Interventional clinical studies can provide the highest levels of evidence and generate significant results on specific investigational medicinal products or medical devices In order to have powerful studies attain unquestionable results and make significant discoveries the number of patients enrolled must be high Therefore multinational...
Antiepileptic Drugs In Development Pipeline: A Recent Update
Abstract Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder which significantly affects the quality of life and poses a health as well as economic burden on society Epilepsy affects approximately million people in the world The present article reviews the scientific rationale brief pathophysiology of epilepsy and newer antiepileptic drugs which ar...
Mathematical Modelling to Guide Drug Development for Malaria Elimination
Mathematical models of the dynamics of a drug within the host are now frequently used to guide drug development These generally focus on assessing the efficacy and duration of response to guide patient therapy Increasingly antimalarial drugs are used at the population level to clear infections provide chemoprevention and to reduce onward transmissi...
In Vitro Release Mechanisms of Doxorubicin From a Clinical Bead Drug-Delivery System
Abstract The release rate of doxorubicin DOX from the drugdelivery system DDS DC Bead was studied by miniaturized in vitro methods freeflowing and sample reservoir The dependencies of the release mechanisms on in vitro system conditions were investigated experimentally and by theoretical modeling An inverse relationship was found between release...
Orally Disintegrating Films: A Modern Expansion In Drug Delivery System
Abstract Over the past few decades tendency toward innovative drug delivery systems has majorly increased attempts to ensure efficacy safety and patient acceptability As discovery and development of new chemical agents is a complex expensive and time consuming process so recent trends are shifting toward designing and developing innovative drug de...
Insights into CYP2B6-mediated drug–drug interactions
Abstract Mounting evidence demonstrates that CYPB plays a much larger role in human drug metabolism than was previously believed The discovery of multiple important substrates of CYPB as well as polymorphic differences has sparked increasing interest in the genetic and xenobiotic factors contributing to the expression and function of the enzyme Th...
Reprint Of “Mixed-Mode Chromatography In Pharmaceutical And Biopharmaceutical Applications”
Abstract Mixedmode chromatography MMC is a fast growing area in recent years thanks to the new generation of mixedmode stationary phases and better understanding of multimode interactions MMC has superior applications in the separation of compounds that are not retained or not well resolved by typical reversedphase LC methods especially for polar...
Patient Perceptions Concerning Clinical Trials In Oncology Patients
Abstract Background Clinical trials are critical to scientifically evaluate promising new therapies in oncology but patient accrual to these studies is persistently low Patient preference plays an important role in enrollment in these trials We performed this survey to evaluate the perceptions of newly di
Distribution Of Bacterial Contamination In Non-sterile Pharmaceutical Materials And Assessment Of Its Risk To The Health Of The Final Consumers Quantitatively
Abstract Bacterial contamination control in pharmaceutical products is a critical aspect in the field of drug manufacturing industry due to the encountered risk to the patients health and possibly their life The application of commercial bacterial identification system is crucial to identify the type of contamination and its source to anticipate t...
Zika Virus Replicons For Drug Discovery
Abstract The current epidemic of Zika virus ZIKV has underscored the urgency to establish experimental systems for studying viral replication and pathogenesis and countermeasure development Here we report two ZIKV replicon systems a luciferase replicon that can differentiate between viral translation and RNA synthesis and a stable luciferase repli...
