    Abstract Abstract: This therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) grand round describes a patient with serious valproic acid intoxication. A total valproic acid level of 844 mg/L and an unbound valproic acid level of 604 mg/L were observed. Meropenem was administered to enhance the clearance of valproic acid. This off-label usage of meropenem is based on the drug-drug interaction between carbapenems and valproic acid, which reduced the level of valproic acid within 24 hours after administration.

    Abstract Background: Phenprocoumon is a vitamin K antagonist that is widely prescribed in Europe and Latin America for the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic events.
    Case presentation: A 90-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with tonic-clonic seizures, possibly due to dementia syndrome. Valproic acid (VPA) was prescribed for the treatment of seizures. VPA is an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 enzymes. A pharmacokinetic interaction with phenprocoumon occurred, which is a substrate for CYP2C9 enzymes. The interaction resulted in a strong INR increase and subsequent clinically relevant bleeding in our patient. Valproic acid is not specifically mentioned in the phenprocoumon drug label as a CYP2C9 inhibitor, and in the Dutch medication surveillance database, no medication alert is shown when prescribing this combination, and no interaction with phenprocoumon has been reported so far.
    Conclusion: When prescribing this combination, the prescriber should be warned and advised to intensify INR monitoring if the combination is to be continued.

    Abstract Since the beginning of the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) 2, lopinavir/ritonavir was selected for treatment. The recent publication of Cao et al. in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that lopinavir/ritonavir treatment did not accelerate clinical improvement compared with standard of care. This raised the question of whether in retrospect we could have known this. The aim of this paper is to gather all the available evidence and to comprehensively discuss this issue.

    Abstract A 35-year-old pregnant woman visited our outpatient clinical questioning the safety of once daily 50 mg mercaptopurine (MP) during pregnancy and lactation, which was successfully treating her Crohn's disease. We measured MP and its metabolites in plasma and breast milk and found after 4 hours of intake of MP, no MP or its metabolites in breast milk. We concluded that 4 hours after intake of MP, no exposure of the suckling infant to MP and its metabolites was found while being breastfed.

    Abstract Background: Treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with current therapy suppresses HBV DNA, but loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg; functional cure), is rare. Multiple compounds are under investigation.
    Aims: To describe the pharmacology, including drug interactions, efficacy, safety and mechanisms of action of investigational compounds for HBV infection.
    Methods: Descriptive review using PubMed and Google to identify literature/conference papers on investigational compounds (≥Phase 2) with data on efficacy and safety in HBV-infected patients.
    Results: Bulevirtide, JNJ-56136379, ABI-H0731, REP-2139, and inarigivir decrease HBV DNA/RNA, with greater potency than current nucleos(t)ide analogues. REP-2139 (25%-75% of patients, 20-48 weeks treatment) and inarigivir (26% of patients, 12-24 weeks treatment) induce HBsAg loss. ARO-HBV reduced (>1.5 log
    Conclusions: There are promising investigational therapies for HBV infection. Increasing the potential for HBsAg loss may result in more patients achieving functional cure. However, many knowledge gaps remain such as pharmacokinetics in those with HBV, cirrhosis and renal impairment but also the interaction potential between investigational therapies, risk-benefit profiles, and potential for drug interactions with medications used to treat comorbidities associated with aging.

    Abstract Patients with cancer are prone to prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc) due to the use of anticancer drugs with QTc-prolonging potential in combination with electrolyte imbalances caused by, for example, gastrointestinal side-effects. However, most anticancer drugs were approved with little information on their QTc-prolonging potential and the added risk of torsade de pointes. The absence of this information on the drug label poses a considerable challenge to clinicians regarding the measures that need to be taken to safely start anticancer treatment. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the evidence for the QTc-prolonging properties of 205 anticancer drugs and 14 antiemetic drugs available from drug labels, assessment reports, and published studies. We classify the drugs as low-risk, moderate-risk, or high-risk for QTc prolongation. We also discuss the clinical relevance of these findings and include practical recommendations to guide clinicians to select the drugs with the least QTc-prolonging properties and to adequately monitor susceptible patients.
