Oct28 Personalized Antifungal Therapy in Japan: CYP2C19 Genotyping Enhances Voriconazole Safety

Voriconazole (VRCZ) is a potent antifungal agent used to treat invasive fungal infections. However, its clinical utility is limited by the large inter-individual variability in blood concentrations and narrow therapeutic window, which contributes to toxicity and treatment failure. A key factor is g...

Sep23 Are We Missing the Risk? Rethinking Restraint-Based Cardiovascular Monitoring in Nonclinical Toxicology Studies

Identifying cardiovascular (CV) risks early in drug development is essential, especially for detecting arrhythmias and hemodynamic changes. Despite this, many nonclinical toxicology studies still rely on brief, restraint-based ECG and blood pressure measurements that often miss the timing of peak d...
