AIM
This study aimed to quantitate the efficacy of soy isoflavones in the treatment of menopausal hot flashes.METHODS
Model based meta-analysis (MBMA) was used to quantitate the efficacy of soy isoflavones. We conducted a systemic literature search to build a time–effect model for placebo and soy isoflavones in treating menopausal hot flashes. Studies were identified, subjected to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and reviewed.RESULTS
From 55 articles, 16 studies of soy isoflavones met the inclusion criteria, and contained 65 and 66 mean effect values in placebo and soy isoflavone groups, respectively, from about 1710 subjects. Interestingly, the developed model was found to describe adequately the time course of hot flashes reduction after administration of placebo and soy isoflavones. Using this model, we found that the maximal percentage change of hot flashes reduction by soy isoflavones was 25.2% after elimination of the placebo effect, accounting for 57% of the maximum effects of estradiol (Emax-estradiol = 44.9%). However, a time interval of 13.4 weeks was needed for soy isoflavones to achieve half of its maximal effects, much longer than estradiol, which only required 3.09 weeks. These results suggest that treatment intervals of 12 weeks are too short for soy isoflavones, which require at least 48 weeks to achieve 80% of their maximum effects.CONCLUSIONS
Soy isoflavones show slight and slow effects in attenuating menopausal hot flashes compared with estradiol. 相似文献2.

Aim
Apixaban is an oral factor Xa inhibitor approved for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and thromboprophylaxis in patients who have undergone elective hip or knee replacement surgery and under development for treatment of venous thromboembolism. This study examined the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple dose apixaban.Method
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multiple dose escalation study was conducted in six sequential dose panels – apixaban 2.5, 5, 10 and 25 mg twice daily and 10 and 25 mg once daily– with eight healthy subjects per panel. Within each panel, subjects were randomized (3:1) to oral apixaban or placebo for 7 days. Subjects underwent safety assessments and were monitored for adverse events (AEs). Blood samples were taken to measure apixaban plasma concentration, international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and modified prothrombin time (mPT).Results
Forty-eight subjects were randomized and treated (apixaban, n = 36; placebo, n = 12); one subject receiving 2.5 mg twice daily discontinued due to AEs (headache and nausea). No dose limiting AEs were observed. Apixaban maximum plasma concentration was achieved ∼3 h post-dose. Exposure increased approximately in proportion to dose. Apixaban steady-state concentrations were reached by day 3, with an accumulation index of 1.3–1.9. Peak : trough ratios were lower for twice daily vs. once daily regimens. Clotting times showed dose-related increases tracking the plasma concentration–time profile.Conclusion
Multiple oral doses of apixaban were safe and well tolerated over a 10-fold dose range, with pharmacokinetics with low variability and concentration-related increases in clotting time measures. 相似文献3.

Aims
The transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer, tafamidis, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of TTR familial amyloid polyneuropathy (20 mg day−1). Tafamidis use in TTR cardiomyopathy led to the study of the potential effect of tafamidis on the QTc interval in healthy subjects.Methods
This randomized, three treatment, three period, six sequence crossover study with placebo, a positive control (moxifloxacin 400 mg) and tafamidis (400 mg, to achieve a supra-therapeutic Cmax of ∽20 µg ml−1) was conducted in healthy volunteers at three clinical research units. Oral dosing in each of the three treatment periods was separated by a washout period of ≥ 14 days. Serial triplicate 12-lead electrocardiograms were performed. QTc intervals were derived using the Fridericia correction method. Safety and tolerability were assessed by physical examination, vital signs measurement, laboratory analyses and monitoring of adverse events (AEs).Results
A total of 42 subjects completed the study. The upper limit of the two-sided 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the difference in baseline-adjusted QTcF between tafamidis 400 mg and placebo was <10 ms (non-inferiority criterion) for all time points. The lower limit of the two-sided 90% CI between moxifloxacin 400 mg and placebo exceeded 5 ms at the pre-specified moxifloxacin tmax of 3 h post-dose, confirming assay sensitivity. Cmax and AUC(0,24 h) for tafamidis were 20.36 µg ml−1 and 305.4 µg ml−1 h, respectively. There were no serious/severe AEs or treatment discontinuations due to AEs.Conclusions
This thorough QTc study suggests that a supra-therapeutic single 400 mg oral dose of tafamidis does not prolong the QTc interval and is well-tolerated in healthy volunteers. 相似文献4.

Background and Purpose
Activation of the α7 nicotinic ACh receptor (nACh receptor) is considered an attractive target for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with neurological disorders. Here we describe the novel α7-nACh receptor agonist AQW051 as a promising drug candidate for this indication.Experimental Approach
AQW051 was functionally characterized in vitro and cognitive effects evaluated in rodent behavioural models. Pharmacokinetics and tolerability were evaluated in three phase I placebo-controlled studies in 180 healthy subjects.Key Results
In vitro, AQW051 bound with high affinity to α7-nACh receptors and stimulated calcium influx in cells recombinantly expressing the human α7-nACh receptor. In vivo, AQW051 demonstrated good oral bioavailability and rapid penetration into the rodent brain. AQW051 administered over a broad dose range facilitated learning/memory performance in the object recognition and social recognition test in mice and the water maze model in aged rats. Clinically, AQW051 was well tolerated in healthy young and elderly subjects, with an adverse event (AE) profile comparable with placebo. No serious AEs were reported and all AEs were either mild or moderate in severity at single oral doses up to 200 mg and multiple daily doses up to 75 mg. Once-daily oral administration of AQW051 resulted in continuous exposure and a two- to threefold accumulation compared with steady state was achieved by 1 week.Conclusions and Implications
These data support further development of AQW051 as a cognitive-enhancing agent, as a therapeutic, for example, in Alzheimer''s disease or schizophrenia. 相似文献5.

Aims
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), safety and tolerability of single intravenous (IV) doses of PF-05231023, a long acting fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogue being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods
T2DM subjects (glycosylated haemoglobin: 7.0–10.5%; on stable metformin therapy and/or diet and exercise) were randomized to receive a single dose of placebo or PF-05231023 (0.5–200 mg). Safety evaluations were performed up to 14 days after dosing. PK and PD endpoints were measured and a PK/PD model was developed for triglyceride – an early marker of drug activity.Results
No antidrug antibody or serious adverse events (AEs) were observed. The most frequent AEs were gastrointestinal but were generally mild. Plasma PF-05231023 levels peaked immediately post-IV dosing, with mean terminal half-lives of 6.5–7.7 h and 66.5– 96.6 h for intact C- and N-termini, respectively. Intact C-terminus exposures increased proportionally with increasing dose, whereas N-terminus exposures appeared to trend higher than dose-proportionally. Although no apparent effect on plasma glucose was seen, dose-dependent decreases in triglyceride were observed, with a maximum reduction of 48.5 ± 10.0% (mean ± standard deviation) for the 200 mg dose compared with a reduction of 19.1 ± 26.4% for placebo, demonstrating proof of pharmacology. Moreover, a reduction in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were observed in the high-dose groups.Conclusions
Single IV doses of PF-05231023 up to 200 mg were generally safe and well tolerated by subjects with T2DM. The observed early sign of pharmacology supports further clinical testing of PF-05231023 upon repeated administration. 相似文献6.

AIMS
Despite progress in anti-emetic treatment, many patients still suffer from chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This is a pilot, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of an acute dose titration of a whole-plant cannabis-based medicine (CBM) containing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, taken in conjunction with standard therapies in the control of CINV.METHODS
Patients suffering from CINV despite prophylaxis with standard anti-emetic treatment were randomized to CBM or placebo, during the 120 h post-chemotherapy period, added to standard anti-emetic treatment. Tolerability was measured as the number of withdrawals from the study during the titration period because of adverse events (AEs). The endpoint for the preliminary efficacy analysis was the proportion of patients showing complete or partial response.RESULTS
Seven patients were randomized to CBM and nine to placebo. Only one patient in the CBM arm was withdrawn due to AEs. A higher proportion of patients in the CBM group experienced a complete response during the overall observation period [5/7 (71.4%) with CMB vs. 2/9 (22.2%) with placebo, the difference being 49.2% (95% CI 1%, 75%)], due to the delayed period. The incidence of AEs was higher in the CBM group (86% vs. 67%). No serious AEs were reported. The mean daily dose was 4.8 sprays in both groups.CONCLUSION
Compared with placebo, CBM added to standard antiemetic therapy was well tolerated and provided better protection against delayed CINV. These results should be confirmed in a phase III clinical trial. 相似文献7.
Objective
The objective of this study was to report the serum concentration of lignocaine after pertubation in patients with endometriosis.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
The study was carried out at a gynaecological outpatient unit in Stockholm, Sweden.Population
Eligible patients had endometriosis with a dysmenorrhoic pain score of >50 mm on a visual analogue scale, and patent fallopian tubes.Methods
Patients with endometriosis (n = 25) were included in the study. The patients received pre-ovulatory pertubations with lignocaine hydrochloride 10 mg (n = 16) or ringer acetate (placebo, n = 9). The procedure comprised passing the study solution through the uterus and the fallopian tubes via an intra-cervical balloon catheter. Serum samples were collected at 0, 5, 15 and 30 min after pertubation.Main Outcome Measures
The serum samples were analysed for the concentration of lignocaine with an LCMS-SIM method.Results
Low levels of lignocaine were detected in the serum samples following pertubation of 10 mg lignocaine hydrochloride. The highest observed concentration was seen after 30 min (mean 0.050 μg/ml), with an individual maximum of 0.124 μg/ml. Maximum concentration (Cmax) and time to Cmax (Tmax) could not be calculated, since the highest values were observed in the 30-min samples, which was the last sample obtained. Lignocaine was not detected after pertubation with placebo.Conclusions
The serum levels of lignocaine following pertubation of 10 mg lignocaine hydrochloride are detectable but low. Lignocaine pertubated through the fallopian tubes reaches the peritoneal cavity and diffuses through the peritoneum into the blood circulation. Pertubation with lignocaine is safe and has no lignocaine-related adverse events. 相似文献8.

Aims
The efficacy of homeopathy is still under debate. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of homeopathic treatment (Arnica montana 5 CH, Bryonia alba 5 CH, Hypericum perforatum 5 CH and Ruta graveolens 3 DH) on cumulated morphine intake delivered by PCA over 24 h after knee ligament reconstruction.Methods
This was an add-on randomized controlled study with three parallel groups: a double-blind homeopathic or placebo arm and an open-label noninterventional control arm. Eligible patients were 18–60 years old candidates for surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament. Treatment was administered the evening before surgery and continued for 3 days. The primary end-point was cumulated morphine intake delivered by PCA during the first 24 h inferior or superior/equal to 10 mg day−1.Results
One hundred and fifty-eight patients were randomized (66 in the placebo arm, 67 in the homeopathic arm and 25 in the noninterventional group). There was no difference between the treated and the placebo group for primary end-point (mean (95% CI) 48% (35.8, 56.3), and 56% (43.7, 68.3), required less than 10 mg day−1 of morphine in each group, respectively). The homeopathy treatment had no effect on morphine intake between 24 and 72 h or on the visual analogue pain scale, or on quality of life assessed by the SF-36 questionnaire. In addition, these parameters were not different in patients enrolled in the open-label noninterventional control arm.Conclusions
The complex of homeopathy tested in this study was not superior to placebo in reducing 24 h morphine consumption after knee ligament reconstruction.What is already known about this subject
- The efficacy of homeopathy is still under debate and a recent meta-analysis recommended further randomized double-blind clinical trials to identify any clinical situation in which homeopathy might be effective.
What this study adds
- The complex of homeopathy tested in this study (Arnica montana 5 CH, Bryonia alba 5 CH, Hypericum perforatum 5 CH and Ruta graveolens 3 DH) is not superior to placebo in reducing 24 h morphine consumption after knee ligament reconstruction.

Aims
Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies were performed to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the investigational metastin analogue, TAK-683, in healthy men.Methods
We first investigated a single subcutaneous (s.c.) dose of TAK-683 (0.01–2.0 mg) in 60 subjects (TAK-683, n = 42; placebo, n = 18). We then assessed a single s.c. bolus of 0.03–1.0 mg TAK-683 on day 1, followed by a 0.01–2.0 mg day−1 continuous infusion on days 2–13, to simulate a depot formulation, in 30 subjects (TAK-683, n = 25; placebo, n = 5) for 14 days.Results
TAK-683 was well tolerated up to a dose of 2.0 mg day−1 by continuous s.c. infusion for 14 days. Adverse events were similar between TAK-683 and placebo subjects at all dose levels. TAK-683 plasma concentrations generally increased in proportion to dose with single and continuous dosing, with steady-state concentrations achieved by day 2 of continuous dosing. TAK-683 at 2.0 mg day−1 suppressed testosterone below castration level (<50 ng dl−1) in four of five subjects by day 7 of continuous dosing. Luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone concentrations were suppressed with TAK-683 continuous dosing compared with placebo by up to 70 and 43%, respectively, but this was not consistently dose-dependent.Conclusions
In healthy men, s.c. administration of TAK-683 was well tolerated at all dose levels. The PK profile of TAK-683 was favourable, and TAK-683 suppressed testosterone profoundly during continuous dosing. Further investigation of metastin analogues is warranted for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. 相似文献10.

Aims
The examination of cough reflex sensitivity through inhalational challenge can be utilized to demonstrate pharmacological end points. Here we compare the effect of butamirate, dextromethorphan and placebo on capsaicin-induced cough in healthy volunteers.Methods
In this randomized, placebo-controlled, six way crossover study the effect of dextromethrophan 30 mg, four doses of butamirate and placebo was evaluated on incremental capsaicin challenges performed at baseline and 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h following dosing. The primary end point was the area under the curve (AUC(0,12h)) of log10 C5 from pre-dose to 12 h after dosing. Plasma butamirate metabolites were analyzed to evaluate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships.Results
Thirty-four subjects (13 males, median age 25 years) completed the study. Cough sensitivity decreased from baseline in all arms of the study. Dextromethorphan was superior to placebo (P = 0.01) but butamirate failed to show significant activity with maximum attenuation at the 45 mg dose. There was no apparent relationship between pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters for butamirate.Conclusions
We have demonstrated for the first time that dextromethorphan attenuates capsaicin challenge confirming its broad activity on the cough reflex. The lack of efficacy of butamirate could be due to formulation issues at higher doses. 相似文献11.

AIMS
Arnica montana is a popular homoeopathic treatment with potential haemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties. A homoeopathic combination of A. montana and Bryonia alba was used in aortic valve surgery to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing bleeding, inflammation, pain and myocardial ischaemia.METHODS
One day before surgery, 92 adult patients were randomly assigned to a double-blind parallel trial with either homoeopathic granules or a matching placebo until 4 days after surgery. The primary outcome was the volume of blood/liquid in the drains at their removal. The secondary outcomes included postoperative blood/liquid losses at 12 and 24 h as well as C-reactive protein (CRP), pain, temperature and plasma troponin Ic.RESULTS
At 12 h and 24 h after surgery, then at drain removal, blood losses in homoeopathy and placebo groups were not statistically significant (362 ± 218, 520 ± 269 and 640 ± 297 ml vs. 456 ± 440, 620 ± 477 and 796 ± 717 ml; P= 0.19, 0.23 and 0.35, respectively). The statistical modelling did not show significantly different patterns of CRP, troponin and body temperature changes or of pain perception. The number of transfused packed red cells was not significantly different either (P= 0.58). Two patients from each group died during the study period and the number of serious adverse events was not statistically different (six in homoeopathy vs. 10 in placebo groups; Fisher''s exact test P= 0.41).CONCLUSIONS
In the study setting, there was no evidence of effects of A. montana and B. alba combination on bleeding, inflammation, pain or myocardial ischaemia. 相似文献12.

Background:
A relationship between bulimia nervosa and reward-related behavior is supported by several lines of evidence. The dopaminergic dysfunctions in the processing of reward-related stimuli have been shown to be modulated by the neurotrophin brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the hormone leptin.Methods:
Using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design, a reward learning task was applied to study the behavior of 20 female subjects with remitted bulimia nervosa and 27 female healthy controls under placebo and catecholamine depletion with alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine (AMPT). The plasma levels of BDNF and leptin were measured twice during the placebo and the AMPT condition, immediately before and 1 hour after a standardized breakfast.Results:
AMPT–induced differences in plasma BDNF levels were positively correlated with the AMPT–induced differences in reward learning in the whole sample (P=.05). Across conditions, plasma brain derived neurotrophic factor levels were higher in remitted bulimia nervosa subjects compared with controls (diagnosis effect; P=.001). Plasma BDNF and leptin levels were higher in the morning before compared with after a standardized breakfast across groups and conditions (time effect; P<.0001). The plasma leptin levels were higher under catecholamine depletion compared with placebo in the whole sample (treatment effect; P=.0004).Conclusions:
This study reports on preliminary findings that suggest a catecholamine-dependent association of plasma BDNF and reward learning in subjects with remitted bulimia nervosa and controls. A role of leptin in reward learning is not supported by this study. However, leptin levels were sensitive to a depletion of catecholamine stores in both remitted bulimia nervosa and controls. 相似文献13.

BACKGROUND
Differential effects of β-adrenoreceptor antagonists (β-ARB) on central and peripheral blood pressure may relate to change in heart rate and/or vasodilator tone and thus be exaggerated during exercise.AIMS
To examine acute effects of selective and nonselective β-ARB on central and peripheral blood pressure, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance during exercise.METHODS
Healthy volunteers (n= 20, 18 men, 19–54 years) received propranolol 80 mg, bisoprolol 20 mg, and placebo 1 h before bicycle ergometry (50, 75 and 100 W each for 3 min) in a randomized, cross-over study. Cardiac output was determined by pulmonary uptake of soluble and inert gas tracers (InnoCor, Innovision). Central systolic blood pressure (SBP) was determined from the late systolic shoulder of the digital artery pressure waveform (Finometer, Finopres).RESULTS
At rest, both β-ARB reduced brachial but not central SBP (compared with placebo). During exercise, β-ARB reduced brachial SBP (reductions of 19.9 ± 4.3 mmHg and 23.2 ± 2.7 mmHg for propranolol and bisoprolol, respectively, at 100 W, each P < 0.0001) but not central SBP. The difference between peripheral and central SBP was reduced, relative to that during placebo, by 21.5 mmHg (95% confidence interval 8.8, 34.1) and 26.4 mmHg (18.1, 34.8) for propranolol and bisoprolol, respectively, at 100 W (each P < 0.01). There was no significant effect of β-ARB on diastolic blood pressure or peripheral vascular resistance.CONCLUSIONS
Despite reducing brachial blood pressure, acute β-adrenoreceptor blockade in man at rest and during exercise does not reduce central blood pressure. 相似文献14.

Aims
A single administration of hydrocortisone has been shown to enhance the pressor response to phenylephrine in healthy volunteers and to norepinephrine in septic shock patients. Similar data do not exist for fludrocortisone. Since there continues to be disagreement about the utility of fludrocortisone in septic shock, we assessed the effects of a single administration of low doses of hydrocortisone (50 mg intravenously) and fludrocortisone (50 μg orally), given either alone or in combination, on phenylephrine mean arterial pressure and cardiac systolic and diastolic function dose–response relationships in 12 healthy male volunteers with hypo-aldosteronism induced by intravenous sodium loading.Methods
This was a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, crossover study performed according to a 2 × 2 factorial design. Subjects received first a 2000 ml infusion of NaCl 0.9% during 2 h. Then fludrocortisone 50 μg (or its placebo) was administered orally and hydrocortisone 50 mg (or its placebo) was injected intravenously. At 1.5 h after treatment administration, incremental doses of phenylephrine were infused (from 0.01 to 3 μg kg−1 min−1), each dose being infused during 5 min.Results
Both fludrocortisone (P < 0.001) and hydrocortisone (P = 0.002) induced a significant decrease in pressor response to phenylephrine, their effects being additive (fludrocortisone × hydrocortisone interaction, P = 0.792). The two drugs did not induce any detectable cardiac effect.Conclusions
Single administrations of fludrocortisone and hydrocortisone decreased the pressor response to phenylephrine in healthy volunteers with hypo-aldosteronism. These similar effects of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone probably express a rapid non-genomic vasodilating effect of the two steroids in the context of acute volume loading. 相似文献15.

Aims
To confirm by means of pentagastrin, a synthetic gastrin agonist, that netazepide is a gastrin/CCK2 receptor antagonist in healthy subjects, and that antagonism persists during repeated dosing.Methods
We did two studies in which we infused pentagastrin (0.6 μg kg−1 h−1 intravenously), aspirated gastric secretion and measured the volume, pH and H+ secretion rate of the gastric aspirate. First, we did a double-blind, five-way crossover study (n = 10) to assess the effect of single oral doses of netazepide (1, 5, 25 and 100 mg) and placebo on the response to pentagastrin. Then, we did a single-blind, placebo-controlled study (n = 8) to assess the effect of the first and last oral doses of netazepide (100 mg) twice daily for 13 doses on the response to pentagastrin.Results
Netazepide was well tolerated. After placebo, pentagastrin increased the volume and H+ secretion rate and reduced the pH of gastric aspirate. Compared with placebo, single doses of netazepide caused dose-dependent inhibition of the pentagastrin response (P < 0.02); netazepide (100 mg) abolished the response. After 13 doses, the reduction in volume and H+ secretion rate persisted (P < 0.001), but the pH effect was mostly lost.Conclusions
Netazepide is an orally active, potent, competitive antagonist of human gastrin/CCK2 receptors. Antagonism is dose dependent and persists during repeated dosing, despite tolerance to the effect on pH. Further studies are required to explain that tolerance. Netazepide is a tool to study the physiology and pharmacology of gastrin, and merits studies in patients to assess its potential to treat gastric acid-related conditions and the trophic effects of hypergastrinaemia. 相似文献16.

Aim
Fingolimod, a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, is the first oral disease modifying therapy approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. The aim of this double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of fingolimod on cerebral blood flow, platelet function and macular thickness in healthy volunteers.Methods
The study included 88 healthy volunteers who received fingolimod 0.5 mg or 1.25 mg or matched placebo over a period of 4 weeks. Transcranial colour coded sonography was performed to measure mean blood flow velocities, the platelet function was measured by the PFA-100® assay using a collagen/epinephrine cartridge and macular thickness was measured using optical coherence tomography. An assessment of non-inferiority of fingolimod vs. placebo was performed against a reference value (20% of the overall baseline value).Results
All 88 randomized participants completed the study. At day 28 compared with baseline value, for 0.5 mg, 1.25 mg and placebo treatments, the mean middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity decreased by 4, 1 and 3.7 cm s−1, respectively. The platelet function analyzer closure time increase was not significant (7.8, 7.5 and 10.4 s, respectively). The mean percentage change in the central foveal thickness from baseline for both eyes was below 3% for all groups. The safety profile of fingolimod in this study was found consistent with the previous reports.Conclusions
In healthy volunteers, the changes seen with both fingolimod doses were found to be within normal variability, non-inferior and comparable with those observed with placebo for all the pharmacodynamic parameters assessed. 相似文献17.

Background:
Many patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder do not respond adequately to serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Augmentation with antipsychotic drugs can be beneficial in this regard. However, since new relevant randomized controlled trials evaluating new antipsychotics were conducted, a recalculation of the effect sizes appears necessary.Methods:
We meta-analyzed all double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials comparing augmentation of serotonin reuptake inhibitors with antipsychotics to placebo supplementation in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. The primary outcome was mean change in the Yale-Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale total score. Secondary outcomes were obsessions, compulsions, response rates, and attrition rates. The data collection process was conducted independently by 2 authors. Hedges’s g and risks ratios were calculated as effect sizes. In preplanned meta-regressions, subgroup analyses, and sensitivity analyses, we examined the robustness of the results and explored reasons for potential heterogeneity.Results:
Altogether, 14 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials (n=491) investigating quetiapine (N=4, n=142), risperidone (N=4, n=132), aripiprazole (N=2, n=79), olanzapine (N=2, n=70), paliperidone (N=1, n=34), and haloperidol (N=1, n=34) were incorporated. Augmentation with antipsychotics was significantly more efficacious than placebo in Yale-Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale total reduction (N=14, n=478; Hedges’s g=-0.64, 95% CI: -0.87 to -0.41; P=<.01). Aripiprazole (Hedges’s g=-1.35), haloperidol (Hedges’s g=-0.82), and risperidone (Hedges’s g=-0.59) significantly outperformed placebo. Antipsychotics were superior to placebo in treating obsessions, compulsions, and achieving response. There was no between-group difference concerning all-cause discontinuation. The nonsignificant meta-regressions suggest no influence of the antipsychotic dose or baseline symptom severity on the meta-analytic results.Conclusions:
According to our findings, antipsychotic augmentation of serotonin reuptake inhibitors can be regarded as an evidence-based measure in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. 相似文献18.

Aim(s)
Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) targeted therapies have become one of the intriguing areas in anticancer drug development during the last decade. As one of these therapies, anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are also advancing further in development. Our purpose was to conduct a systematic review of the adverse events (AEs) caused by anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibodies in cancer therapy.Methods
We searched the term‘IGF-1R monoclonal antibody’ in the Pubmed database and found 389 related articles. After elaborate selection, 15 clinical studies that satisfied our criteria were then adopted for further analysis. We extracted all the useful information about the AEs of mAbs from the enrolled studies. Every kind of reported AE as well as corresponding incidences were summed up and calculated. We compared AE incidence differences in two age groups, and analyzed toxicities of mAbs used as a single agent or combined with chemotherapies. Finally, the differences of AE profiles between individual mAbs were also valued.Results
AEs were more severe in the lower age group and 13 of 19 AE incidences in the single-agent group were significantly lower than in the combination group (P < 0.05). R1507 seemed to show a worse AE profile than cixutumumab and figitumumab.Conclusions
When anti-IGF-1R mAbs are used for cancer therapy, it is essential to choose the proper drug and combined chemotherapies to reduce AE occurrences. Also, administration of these mAbs to younger patients should be more carefully supervised. Furthermore, some more frequently observed AEs for specific mAb should be paid adequate attention. 相似文献19.

Aim
Previous studies have shown transient decreases in heart rate (HR) following administration of sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators including BAF312. This study was conducted to determine whether dose titration of BAF312 reduces or eliminates these effects.Methods
Fifty‐six healthy subjects were randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive BAF312 in one of two dose titration (DT) regimens (DT1 and DT2: 0.25–10 mg over 9–10 days), no titration (10 mg starting dose) or placebo. Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed.Results
Neither DT1 nor DT2 resulted in clinically significant bradycardia or atrioventricular conduction effects. Both titration regimens showed a favourable difference on each of days 1–12 vs. the non‐titration regimen on day 1 for HR effects (P < 0.0001). On day 1, the geometric mean ratio of the fraction from the previous day in minimum daily HR between DT1 and non‐titration was 1.18 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13, 1.23) and 1.14 (95% CI 1.09, 1.18) for DT2 (both P < 0.05) with significant differences noted through to day 12. Non‐titration HRs showed considerable separation from placebo throughout the study. There was no statistically significant reduction in HR vs. placebo on day 1 in either titration regimen. On days 3–7 subjects in DT1 and DT2 experienced minor reductions in HR vs. placebo (approximately 5 beats min−1; P ≤ 0.0001). From days 9–12, HRs in both titration regimens were comparable with placebo.Conclusion
Both titration regimens effectively attenuated the initial bradyarrhythmia observed on day 1 of treatment with BAF312 10 mg. 相似文献20.
