Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyTreatment of spontaneous preterm labour with retosiban: a phase II pilot dose-ranging study.
The aims of the present study were to investigate the maternal, fetal and neonatal safety and tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) retosiban in pregnant women with spontaneous preterm labour (PTL) between 340/7 and 356/7 weeks' gestation. ⋯ Intravenous retosiban has a favourable safety and tolerability profile and might prolong pregnancies in women with PTL. The study provides the rationale and dosing strategy for further evaluation of the efficacy of retosiban in the treatment of PTL.

Randomized Controlled TrialAssessment of effect of CYP3A inhibition, CYP induction, OATP1B inhibition, and high-fat meal on pharmacokinetics of the JAK1 inhibitor upadacitinib.
Upadacitinib (ABT-494) is a selective Janus kinase 1 inhibitor being developed for treatment of auto-immune inflammatory disorders. This work evaluated effects of high-fat meal, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibition, CYP induction, and organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B inhibition on upadacitinib pharmacokinetics. ⋯ Strong CYP3A inhibition and broad CYP induction result in a weak and moderate effect, respectively, on upadacitinib exposures. OATP1B inhibition and administration of upadacitinib immediate-release formulation with food does not impact upadacitinib exposure.
