News Bimekizumab in the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa –⁠ another approved indication for this biological agent

In May, the primary results of the BE HEARD I and II studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of the IL-17A and IL-17F inhibitor bimekizumab in the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in adults were published in The Lancet. This is the first publication of the results of these Phase III studies. Based on these findings, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved bimekizumab (which is currently approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis) for the treatment of HS in adults who have not responded adequately to conventional systemic therapy.

News Long-term Benefit of Luspatercept Therapy –⁠ Fresh Data from the MEDALIST Study

The goal of therapy for low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is to compensate for anemia, improve or maintain quality of life, and prolong the time to progression to higher-risk MDS (HR-MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To manage anemia, we can resort to transfusion therapy or administer epoetins, lenalidomide, or luspatercept, the first representative of a class of drugs that support erythrocyte maturation. Last year's data from the follow-up of patients enrolled in the MEDALIST study pertain specifically to the latter.

News Neuroprotective Efficacy and Safety of Vinpocetine in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

A meta-analysis of 4 randomized placebo-controlled studies demonstrated the benefits of vinpocetine in patients with ischemic stroke (iCMP). Administering vinpocetine within 14 days of the onset of the stroke significantly reduced the level of disability and the proportion of those who died or were dependent on others after 1 and 3 months. The results showed benefits in several other parameters and indicated very good tolerability of this drug used to increase cerebral blood flow.

News How Does Erdosteine Perform in Combination with Antibiotics?

Erdosteine is an oral mucoactive drug that reduces mucus viscosity by degrading disulfide bonds in the mucin polymer. It achieves this effect through a free thiol group in its main active metabolite, N-thiodiglycolyl-homocysteine. In addition to its mucolytic action, erdosteine exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and reduces bacterial adhesion, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of certain antibiotics. We provide a summary of study results demonstrating its effect on enhancing the efficacy of drugs administered in the treatment of respiratory diseases.
