The growing threat of antibiotic resistance

The alarming rise of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) superbugs is a significant threat to global health, with traditional antibiotics losing their efficacy at an unprecedented rate. Antibiotic resistance is one of our time’s most pressing public health issues. It occurs when microbes evolve mechanisms to withstand the drugs designed to kill them, rendering standard treatments ineffective and leading to persistent infections and increased risk of spread. This phenomenon poses a significant threat to global health, development, and sustainability. Microorganisms can become resistant to antibiotics through genetic mutation, horizontal gene transfer, Efflux pumps and enzymatic degradation. Several factors contribute to the rise of antibiotic resistance. Amongst them, overuse and misuse of antibiotics is the most distressing. Prescribing antibiotics when they are not needed such as for viral infections and patients not completing their prescribed courses of antibiotics also contribute to the resistance. The use of antibiotics in livestock for growth promotion and disease ...

FDA Approves Arcutis Biotherapeutics’ Zoryve to Treat Patients with Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

By Don Tracy, Associate Editor Zoryve is a steroid-free, once-daily treatment shown to offer rapid disease clearance and significant itch reduction for patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. The FDA has approved Arcutis Biotherapeutics’ supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Zoryve (roflumilast) cream 0.15% for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults and children over six years of age. According to the company, the treatment is steroid-free and moves quickly to clear the disease, resulting in significant itch reduction. The approval was based on results from three Phase III studies, a Phase II dose-ranging study, and two Phase I pharmacokinetic studies.1 “The chronic nature of AD coupled with the disease instability often leaves patients and caregivers feeling that they are constantly chasing their AD flares,” said Lawrence F. Eichenfield, MD, professor of dermatology and pediatrics, vice chair, department of dermatology, UC San Diego School of Medicine, INTEGUMENT study ...

Amylyx Aims to Help Patients With a Novel GLP-1 Drug, But Not the Way You Think

Unlike GLP-1 agonist drugs marketed for weight loss, new Amylyx Pharmaceuticals drug avexitide blocks its target receptor. Amylyx plans to advance this GLP-1 antagonist into Phase 3 testing for post-bariatric hypoglycemia, a rare condition in which blood sugar levels drop precipitously. By Frank VinluanBefore GLP-1 drugs became a wildly popular pharmacologic way to treat obesity, bariatric surgery was a top option for those seeking a medical intervention for losing weight. While this procedure is effective for weight loss, it turns out that changing the structure of the gut can lead to a debilitating disorder in some patients. Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, months removed from a clinical trial failure that shattered its prospects in neurodegeneration, is now planting a flag in metabolic disease with the acquisition of a Phase 3-ready drug for this rare disorder with no FDA-approved therapies. The drug comes from Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, which last month sold off its assets in ...

Arcutis bags FDA approval for atopic dermatitis cream after delay

Arcutis has won its third US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Zoryve (roflumilast) cream in two years, with the latest indication meant for adults and some children with atopic dermatitis. The FDA has approved the once-daily topical cream for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients aged six years and older. Zoryve, a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor, was approved as a cream in July 2022 for the treatment of plaque psoriasis for patients aged 12 and older, and October 2023 for children aged 6-11 with psoriasis. The initial date for the label expansion in atopic dermatitis was set for 7 June 2024, but the decision was delayed by several days, with Arcutis releasing a statement on 9 June saying there had been no request for new information from the regulator at the time. The approval is supported by positive data from three Phase III studies, a Phase II dose-ranging ...

FDA Approves Cordis’ Vascular Closure Device for Cardiac Ablation Procedures

By Don Tracy, Associate Editor Approval of the Mynx Control Venous vascular closure device was based on results from the ReliaSeal trial, which demonstrated 100% procedural and device success in cardiac ablation procedures. The FDA has approved Cordis’ Mynx Control VenousVascular Closure Device (VCD), designed for cardiac ablation procedures with access sites ranging from 6F to 12F. According to the company, the device utilizes grip technology, which leverages a hydrophilic, bioinert polyethylene glycol (PEG) sealant that resorbs three times faster than collagen-based alternatives and reportedly provides the fastest time to hemostasis among venous closure devices. Additionally, the device was approved based on promising results from the ReliaSeal trial, which found that the Mynx Control VenousVCD demonstrated 100% procedural and device success in cardiac ablation procedures. “Using Mynx Control VenousVCD following ablation procedures, investigators achieved consistent and effective closure, facilitating quick and safe patient ambulation,” said John Summers, MD, director of ...
