Aims: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of odanacatib (ODN), a cathepsin K inhibitor, in humans. Methods: Two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single oral dose studies were performed with ODN (2600mg) in 44 healthy volunteers (36 men and eight postmenopausal women). Results: Adverse experiences (AEs) with single doses of ODN were transient and mild to moderate, with the exception of one ...

The higher sensitivity to desmopressin (dDAVP) found in women and older patients with nocturnal polyuria (NP) has partially been unraveled, leading to adaptation of the dosage based on gender. However, besides age and gender, other factors might play a role in differences in sensitivity and side effects. The aim of this study is to design a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PD) assay to identify appropriate treatment for different groups of ...

BACKGROUND:

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth is increasing. Treatment options beyond metformin and insulin are needed. The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of liraglutide once daily in youth (10-17 years old) with T2D were investigated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:

Youth treated with diet/exercise alone or with metformin ...

The aim of the study was to characterize pharmacokinetics of tiotropium solution 5 µg compared to powder 18 µg and assess dose-dependency of tiotropium solution pharmacodynamics in comparison to placebo. In total 154 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were included in this multicenter, randomized, double-blind within-solution (1.25, 2.5, 5 µg, and placebo), and open-label powder 18 µg, crossover study, including 4-week ...

AIMS : The aim of this analysis was to use a population approach to facilitate the understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to evaluate the influence of patient covariates on the exposure of rivaroxaban in patients with ACS.METHODS : A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using pharmacokinetic samples from 2290 patients in Anti-Xa Therapy to Lower ...

Inhaled corticosteroids, such as fluticasone propionate (FP) and ciclesonide (CIC), are commonly used for the treatment of asthma. The objectives of this study were to characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of FP and a pharmacologically active metabolite of CIC (desisobutyryl-ciclesonide [Des-CIC]) using a nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach, to investigate selected covariate effects on PK and PD parameters of FP and ...

SAR439459 (SAR'459), a "second-generation" human anti-transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) monoclonal antibody, enhances the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this phase I/Ib study, we evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of SAR'459 ± cemiplimab (intravenous) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Increasing doses of SAR'459 were administered every 2 or 3 weeks (Q2W, Q3W) alone (Part ...
