Update on MHRA safety review of medicines containing pseudoephedrine

Pseudoephedrine is licensed for the symptomatic relief of nasal and sinus congestion in colds, flu, and allergies. It has been used in the UK for decades by millions of people. All pseudoephedrine-containing medicines in the UK are for short term use and taken orally. These come in tablet, capsule, powder, liquid, or syrup form; none of the decongestant nasal sprays authorised in the UK contain pseudoephedrine. There have been very rare reports of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) associated with pseudoephedrine. These are very rare conditions that can involve inflammation and/or reduced blood supply to the brain, which are recognised as very rare side effects for pseudoephedrine-containing medicines licensed in the UK. Following a careful MHRA review of the latest available evidence, including the assessment of cumulative reporting of adverse drug reaction reports, the safety information of all pseudoephedrine-containing medicines will be updated to ...

Novel Immunoassays Enable Early Diagnosis of Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder that typically presents as venous or arterial thrombosis and/or pregnancy loss. Diagnosing APS can be difficult as its symptoms often resemble those of other diseases. Prompt diagnosis is essential to avoid complications, unnecessary medical procedures, and escalating healthcare costs. Now, a new pair of reagents can enable early diagnosis of APS, one of the hard-to-diagnose autoimmune diseases. Werfen’s (Barcelona, Spain) Aptiva APS Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) reagents are immunoassays that utilize Aptiva particle-based multi-analyte technology (PMAT) for the semi-quantitative determination of anti-cardiolipin (aCL) and anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (aβ2GP1) IgG and IgM autoantibodies in human serum and citrated plasma. They serve as a diagnostic aid for both primary and secondary APS, in conjunction with other laboratory findings. The Aptiva system is a fully automated, multi-analyte system, representing the latest advancement in high throughput analyzers for autoimmunity and immunology laboratories. Utilizing ...

Treadwell Therapeutic’s Novel Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment Granted FDA Orphan Drug Designation

Davy James Ocifisertib is a first-in-class, novel PLK4 inhibitor that has demonstrated significant activity as a monotherapy in both solid and liquid tumors. Image credit: Arif Biswas | stock.adobe.com Treadwell Therapeutics’s ocifisertib (CFI-400945) has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).1 The first-in-class, novel PLK4 inhibitor has been found to regulate centriole duplication in patients with AML. “The FDA’s decision to grant orphan drug designation, along with the previous FDA Fast Track designation for ocifisertib, underscores [our] dedication to addressing this patient population with few treatment options.

Novavax and Gavi Settle Dispute Over Covid Vaccines Pact, Avoiding Arbitration

By settling now and agreeing to deferred payments over the next five years, Novavax avoids the risk of being responsible for a much bigger payout all at once. The arbitration hearing over the disputed vaccine purchase agreement with Gavi was scheduled for this summer. By FRANK VINLUAN Novavax isn’t in a good financial position to be refunding money to customers, having gone through a cost-saving restructuring amid flagging sales of the Covid-19 vaccine that is its only revenue-generating product. But arbitration is uncertain, so rather than roll the dice and risk a huge payout if the dispute resolution does not go its way, the company has agreed to pay Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, as much as $475 million over the next five years to settle a squabble over a $700 million purchase agreement. Like other Covid-19 vaccine makers, Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Novavax supplies its vaccine under advance purchase agreements. Government bodies ...

New Analysis Method Detects Pathogens in Blood Faster and More

Globally, an alarming one in every five deaths is attributed to complications related to sepsis, with children accounting for 41% of these fatalities. The urgency in detecting sepsis is paramount since the risk of mortality increases by 4% for each hour the infection remains undiagnosed or treated incorrectly. Common practice involves administering antibiotics to sepsis patients while waiting for blood culture results, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Ineffectively treating sepsis can be detrimental, as up to 30% of patients receive incorrect treatments, further elevating their risk of death. The critical nature of timely and accurate diagnosis in sepsis cases is underscored by the fact that the mortality risk escalates by 4% every hour the infection is not properly identified or treated. Now, a new analysis technique offers quicker and more precise pathogen detection in blood samples compared to traditional blood cultures, which are the standard in infection diagnosis. The ...
