Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 6 (2022)
A non-hormonal prescription vaginal pH modulator (VPM) gel (Phexxi®), with active ingredients lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate, has recently been approved for prevention of pregnancy in the United States. The objective of this review is to compile the evidence available from published preclinical and clinical trials to support its use.

Community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) is the most common infectious cause of hospital admission in adults, and poses a significant clinical and economic burden. At the same time, antimicrobial resistance is increasing worldwide with only a few new antibiotics developed in recent years.

Despite the introduction of targeted agents leading to therapeutic advances, clinical management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is still challenged by significant interindividual variability in treatment outcomes, both in terms of toxicity and therapy efficacy. The study of germline genetic variants could help to personalize and optimize therapeutic approaches in mCRC.

Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) represent a great challenge to clinicians due to their unpredictability and severity, notably being potentially fatal. Genetic markers for DHRs have been emerging as potential valuable clinical tools for prediction and diagnosis of DHRs. Dedicated pediatric studies in this field are scarce and many published studies lack key data in this regard.

The ribosome is a ribonucleoprotein organelle responsible for protein synthesis, and its biogenesis is a highly coordinated process that involves many macromolecular components. Any acquired or inherited impairment in ribosome biogenesis or ribosomopathies is associated with the development of different cancers and rare genetic diseases. Interference with multiple steps of protein synthesis has been shown to promote tumor cell death.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have been the most widely used for type 2 diabetes (T2D) available worldwide since 2006. DPP-4 inhibitors exert their effects by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 to increase the concentration of endogenous incretin hormones (incretin hormone analogues and incretin potentiators) and promote insulin secretion, thereby acting as a glucose regulator.

The COVID-19 lockdown has resulted in limited access to most of the conventional chronic pain management services. Subsequently, changes in opioids’ utilization could be expected. This study assessed the impact of the first COVID-19 lockdown on opioid utilization using aggregated-level, community dispensing dataset covering the whole English population.
