Pfizer Asks FDA to Approve RSV Vaccine for Adults as Young as 18 Years Old

Mike HollanIt could be time for many Americans to add another vaccine to their list. Pfizer recently announced the results of a study for its RSV vaccine. While the vaccine is already approved for older Americans, the results of the study reportedly show that it is also effective for adults as young as 18. As such, Pfizer is asking FDA to approve the vaccine for adults aged 18 to 59. In a press release, Pfizer stated that Abrysvo met all of its primary endpoints for adults in specified age range who had an increased risk of RSV.1 The study was named MONeT, which is short for RSV Immunization Study in Adults at Higher Risk of Severe Illness. It was conducted to see the efficacy of the vaccine in adults who suffer from certain conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These conditions put the patients at a ...

FDA Approves New Administration Methods for SK Life Science’s Xcorpi for Adults with Partial-Onset Seizures

Don Tracy, Associate Editor New methods allow the antiseizure treatment to be crushed and mixed with water for oral suspension or for use through a nasogastric tube. SK Life Science announced that the FDA has approved two new ingestion methods for Xcorpi (cenobamate tablets) CV, an antiseizure medication. As of today, the medication can be crushed and mixed with water and either administered by mouth as an oral suspension or administered via a nasogastric tube. These new methods of administration were approved as a result of the results of an open-label, randomized, single-center, three-period, six-sequence, crossover study showing biochemical similarity between three administration routes, including the aforementioned methods.1 “The approval addresses the needs of patients living with epilepsy who are currently taking, or who may benefit from starting XCOPRI, but are unable to swallow the tablets whole,” said Louis Ferrari, BS, RPh, MBA, VP, medical affairs, SK Life Science, in ...

Bristol Myers Squibb Reveals Promising Data for KarXT, a Potential Treatment for Schizophrenia

Don Tracy, Associate Editor A combination of data from the EMERGENT-4 trial and pooled data from the EMERGENT program showed the promise of KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) in providing symptom improvement for people with schizophrenia. Bristol Myers Squibb announced results from its Phase III EMERGENT-4 trial analyzing the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) in adults with schizophrenia, which was showcased at the Annual Congress of the Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS). Additionally, the company revealed promising pooled data from EMERGENT-4 and EMERGENT-5 for the long-term safety, tolerability, and metabolic effects of KarXT in schizophrenia over 52 weeks. EMERGENT-4 is a 52-week, open-label extension trial assessing long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of KarXT in adults who completed earlier phases of the trial for schizophrenia. Investigators found that over 75% of patients administered KarXT achieved a 30% improvement in symptoms.1 “We are pleased to see a continued and consistent meaningful reduction ...

Regular late-life exercise has a beneficial impact on DNA damage and telomere dysfunction

Regular aerobic exercise later in life prevents genomic instability characterized by DNA damage and telomere dysfunction, according to a study from the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit, the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS), in Long Beach, California. Jisok Lim, PhD, said, “These new findings will greatly impact our understanding of the mechanisms on how aerobic exercise improves vascular health at the level of genomic stability.” Late-life exercise used to be thought of as ineffective. However, existing studies indicate aerobic exercise later in life lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease-related mortality. Yet, the specific factors contributing to this effect have not been completely understood. Researchers examined whether regular exercise with aging may prevent DNA damage and telomere dysfunction. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes. In this study, exercise ...
