Abstract
According to the concept of "united airway diseases", the airway is a single organ in which upper and lower airway diseases are commonly comorbid. A range of inflammatory factors have been found to play an important role in the chain reaction of upper and lower airway diseases. However, the amount of research on this concept remains limited. The underlying mechanism of the relationship between typical diseases of the united airway, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic sinusitis, also needs to be further explored. This review highlights the interaction between upper and lower respiratory diseases gathered from epidemiological, histoembryology, neural mechanistic, microbiological, and clinical studies, revealing the relationship between the upper and lower respiratory tracts.

[PMID: 37776915 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
The development of monoclonal antibody therapies targeting specific components of the pathways relevant to asthma pathophysiology has revolutionized treatment of severe asthma both in adults and children and helped to further unravel the heterogeneity of this disease. However, the availability of multiple agents, often with overlapping eligibility criteria, creates a need for pragmatic guidance for specialists undertaking care of patients with severe asthma. In this review, we provide an overview of the data supporting the clinical efficacy of biologics in distinct asthma phenotypes/endotypes. We also focus on the role of biomarkers and treatable traits, including comorbidities, in the choice of asthma biologics, highlight which treatments have been demonstrated to be steroid sparing in corticosteroid dependent asthma, and provide practical guidance that can drive shared decision making on treatment choice with patients. In addition, we summarize what is known to date regarding long-term safety of these drugs, and lastly, discuss future directions in biologics research.

Joshi A, Ramanujan S, Jin JY. The convergence of pharmacometrics and quantitative systems pharmacology in pharmaceutical research and development. Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 182:106380. [PMID: 36638898 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) models are an important facet of pharmaceutical and clinical research as they combine mechanistic models of physiology in health and disease with pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics to predict systems-level effects. The quantitative clinical pharmacology toolbox has traditionally included both mechanistic modeling and population approaches, collectively called pharmacometrics, but the current landscape requires the optimization and use of multiple models together. Here, we explore several case studies in drug development that exemplify three approaches for using QSP and pharmacometrics models together - parallel synchronization, cross-informative use, and sequential integration. While these approaches are increasingly applied in drug development, achieving a true convergence of QSP and pharmacometrics that fully exploits their synergy will require new tools and methods that enable greater technical integration, in addition to nurturing scientists with diverse modeling expertise that enable cross-discipline strategy. Extensions of existing methods used in each approach as well as additional resources including machine learning models, data-at-scale, end-to-end computation platforms, and real-time analytics will enable this convergence.

Current practices for QSP model assessment: an IQ consortium survey. J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn 2022:10.1007/s10928-022-09811-1. [PMID: 35953664 PMCID: PMC9371373 DOI: 10.1007/s10928-022-09811-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) modeling is increasingly applied in the pharmaceutical industry to influence decision making across a wide range of stages from early discovery to clinical development to post-marketing activities. Development of standards for how these models are constructed, assessed, and communicated is of active interest to the modeling community and regulators but is complicated by the wide variability in the structures and intended uses of the underlying models and the diverse expertise of QSP modelers. With this in mind, the IQ Consortium conducted a survey across the pharmaceutical/biotech industry to understand current practices for QSP modeling. This article presents the survey results and provides insights into current practices and methods used by QSP practitioners based on model type and the intended use at various stages of drug development. The survey also highlights key areas for future development including better integration with statistical methods, standardization of approaches towards virtual populations, and increased use of QSP models for late-stage clinical development and regulatory submissions.
