Repurposing anti-retroviral drugs to treat NF2-related tumours: a protocol for a phase 0 trial (RETREAT). (PubMed, BMJ Open)
Subcutaneous schwannomas of the skin (CS) are common in the NF2 population.This trial involves the repurposing of medications already licensed for HIV-ritonavir and lopinavir (Kaletra and Norvir)-that have been shown to reduce tumour growth by reducing cell proliferation in human schwannoma and meningioma tumour cell cultures...Following analysis of trial data, the trial results will be written up for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and will be disseminated at conferences. ISRCTN10422213.

Analysis of Viral Blips Through Week 192 of the DRIVE-FORWARD and DRIVE-AHEAD Phase 3 Studies of Doravirine-Based Regimens in Adults Living With Previously Untreated HIV-1. (PubMed, Open Forum Infect Dis)
Adults living with untreated HIV-1 were randomized (1:1) to a DOR-containing regimen or comparator (darunavir/ritonavir- or efavirenz-containing), each with 2 nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, for 96 weeks (double-blind base), followed by 96 weeks of a DOR-containing regimen (open-label extension). Clinical Trials Registration.  ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02275780, NCT02403674.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model to Predict Drug-Drug Interactions With the Antibody-Drug Conjugate Trastuzumab Deruxtecan. (PubMed, CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol)
The topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (DXd) released from the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is eliminated by hepatic uptake via OATP1B1/3, metabolism by CYP3A, biliary excretion via P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein, and urinary excretion. DDIs with ritonavir and itraconazole simulated by the PBPK model reproduced the clinical DDI study results, indicating that the impact of concomitant medications was not clinically meaningful. These findings suggest that this model may potentially be used for DDI evaluation of future DXd-containing ADCs, aiding in the prediction of DDIs under different scenarios and in specific populations.

The impact of ulinastatin on postoperative clinical outcomes in patients with gastric cancer: a retrospective cohort analysis. (PubMed, J Gastrointest Oncol)
Intraoperative UTI attenuates postoperative CRP and ALT elevation, reflecting anti-inflammatory and partial hepatoprotective effects. Integration of UTI into comprehensive perioperative management may enhance clinical recovery.

Effects of dietary palygorskite supplementation on production performance and reproductive function of laying hens. (PubMed, Poult Sci)
Compared to those in the control group, the average daily egg production, eggshell thickness, oviduct weight, oviduct index, and the levels of luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone were significantly higher in the Pal group...Furthermore, metabolomics analysis revealed that the levels of metabolites such as ritonavir, nicotinate riboside, and inosine were upregulated in the Pal group...These findings indicated that dietary Pal supplementation enhanced the production performance, antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory response, and reproductive function of laying hens. Therefore, these findings lay the foundation for the development of strategies and protocols for the inclusion of Pal in the diet of laying hens.

Ulinastatin relieves sepsis-associated dysmotility via IL-1β-related enteric neuroprotection. (PubMed, Eur J Pharmacol)
UTI confers broad and integrated protection of the intestine during sepsis. These findings suggest that IL-1β-mediated inflammatory signaling plays a key role in UTI-induced enteric neuroprotection and restoration of intestinal motility.
