Ozanimod and etrasimod are S1PRMs approved for the treatment of UC, but they can cause side effects such as bradycardia, conduction disorder, and macular edema. Overall, JAK inhibitors and S1PRMs offer significant benefits in managing IBD, although their potential side effects require careful monitoring.

Low Incidence of Macular Edema in Patients in the Etrasimod Clinical Program (Exhibit Hall E) - Aug 20, 2024 - Abstract #ACG2024ACG_1353; In the Placebo-controlled UC cohort, Macular edema was reported in two patients (0.3%; IR 0.70) receiving etrasimod 2 mg QD (one patient with long-term corticosteroid use in ELEVATE UC 52 and one patient with prior uveitis in ELEVATE UC 12, which was not considered clinically significant by the investigator) and one patient (0.3%; IR 0.84) receiving placebo (ELEVATE UC 12). In the All UC cohort, one patient (0.1%; IR 0.13) receiving etrasimod 2 mg QD during the ELEVATE UC OLE reported two events of Cystoid macular edema (Table).

However, the safety of third-generation tetracycline in children requires additional validation through a large-scale prospective study.

Journal: Enhancing outer membrane permeability of tetracycline antibiotics in P. aeruginosa using TOB-CIP conjugates. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 12, 2024 The structure-activity relationship investigation indicates that the flexible hydrophobic C12 carbon-chain linker in TOB-CIP conjugate 1a is an optimal potentiator of tetracyclines against tetracycline-resistant and -susceptible strains of P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, conjugate 1a consistently synergized with the 3rd generation tetracycline, eravacycline, in P. aeruginosa PAO1 in the presence of up to 25% fetal bovine serum (FBS).

Review, Journal, Immunomodulating: Insights on Nefecon (Pubmed Central) - Aug 5, 2024 These studies demonstrated that Nefecon has a distinct pharmacokinetic profile from other budesonide products, allowing for targeted, localized action in the distal ileum. When considered alongside existing clinical trial data showing the effect of Nefecon on gut-associated biomarkers, available evidence indicates that Nefecon has a selective immunomodulatory mechanism of action and a direct disease-modifying effect in patients with IgAN, while having low systemic exposure and adverse effects.

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) also showed activity in selected BC subtypes, and two agents, pembrolizumab and atezolizumab, are currently approved for the treatment of triple-negative BC patients...Given this background, several clinical trials evaluated ADC-ICI combinations in BC patients, demonstrating promising outcomes with an overall manageable toxicity profile, and many studies are currently ongoing to confirm the efficacy and feasibility of this therapeutic approach. In the present review, we summarized the available evidence about the integration of ADCs and immunotherapy for the management of BC, emphasizing the need for further translational and clinical investigations to optimize this treatment strategy and elucidate predictive biomarkers, eventually improving patient outcomes.
