Journal: Advances with androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2022 While the side-effect profile with ADT are generally equivalent, effects on cardiovascular morbidity may be improved with the use of oral relugolix though this is noted with caution since the cardiovascular side-effects were a result of secondary subgroup analyses. The choice of ADT hinges upon cost, availability, ease of administration, and preference amongst physicians and patients alike.

Journal: Multi-analyte screening of small peptides by alkaline pre-activated solid phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry in doping controls. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2022 The method was validated in accordance with WADA relevant criteria and validated with a main focus on qualitative parameters including selectivity, limits of detection (0.02-0.2 ng/mL), linearity (0.1-20 ng/mL for 46 analytes and 0.2-20 ng/mL for 9 analytes), accuracy and precision (RE% and RSD% < 20% at 1, 5 and 10 ng/mL), recovery (39.2%-100.1% except for the TB500(1-2) free acid: 9.2%), matrix effects (ion suppression effect: 0 to 49.4% and ion enhancement effect: 100% and 264.6%), carryover, reliability and sample extract stability. As a proof-of-principle, urine samples from two patients received a single injection of leuprorelin acetate microspheres (3.75 mg) 30 days before were analyzed and the results proved the applicability of the method.

Journal: Sleep fragmentation and estradiol suppression decrease fat oxidation in pre-menopausal women. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 20, 2022 Sleep fragmentation and hypoestrogenism each independently alter fasting substrate oxidation in a manner that may contribute to body fat gain. These findings are important for understanding mechanisms underlying propensity to body fat gain in women across the menopause transition.

Effective Suppression of Gonadotropins and Gonadal Steroids Following Oral Administration of Leuprolide () - Jul 16, 2022 - Abstract #ENDO2022ENDO_1451; Adverse events are generally mild in intensity and distributed evenly across treatment groups. We thus demonstrate the ability to achieve therapeutic degrees of gonadal hormone suppression following oral administration of leuprolide, comparable to that following injectable leuprolide and some marketed doses of oral GnRH antagonists (historical data).

Preclinical, Journal: New long-acting injectable microspheres prepared by IVL-DrugFluidic™ system: 1-month and 3-month in vivo drug delivery of leuprolide. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2022 Moreover, the testosterone level in plasma was suppressed to < 0.50 ng/mL after 28 days with a steady plasma drug concentration. The results suggested that newly developed leuprolide-loaded microspheres produced by the IVL-DrugFluidic™ system could provide extended drug release with advantages such as reduced initial burst release and testosterone level suppression, along with steady plasma drug concentration, over the existing products.

Journal: Efficient aqueous remote loading of peptides in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid). (Pubmed Central) - Jun 10, 2022 Leuprolide encapsulated by this approach in low-molecular-weight PLGA 75/25 microspheres slowly and continuously released peptide for over 56 days in vitro and suppressed testosterone production in rats in an equivalent manner as the 1-month Lupron Depot®...In certain cases, in vitro and in vivo performance of remote-loaded PLGA microspheres exceeded that relative to marketed products. Remote absorption encapsulation further removes the need for a critical organic solvent removal step after encapsulation, allowing for simple and cost-effective sterilization of the drug-free microspheres before encapsulation of the peptide.

Most NCI-designated cancer centers did not publicly disclose payer-specific prices for cancer therapies as required by federal regulation. The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that, to reduce the financial burden of cancer treatment for patients, institution of public policies to discourage or prevent excessive hospital price markups on parenteral chemotherapeutics might be beneficial.
