In this randomized, controlled trial involving women in South Africa and Uganda, twice-yearly subcutaneous lenacapavir was superior to daily oral emtricitabine–tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in preventing HIV infection.

In this phase 2 trial involving adults with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis, survodutide was superior to placebo with respect to improvement in MASH without worsening of fibrosis.

Inclisiran, a small interfering RNA therapeutic, reduces hepatic synthesis of PCSK9. In two separate randomized trials, subcutaneous injections of inclisiran on day 1, day 90, and then every 6 months reduced LDL cholesterol levels by approximately 50% at month 17, with a modest excess of injection-site adverse events.

This phase 3 trial showed that treatment with volanesorsen, an antisense oligonucleotide drug complementary to mRNA encoding apolipoprotein C-III, resulted in a mean reduction in triglyceride levels of 77% over the course of 3 months.

In two identical trials involving a total of 1882 patients with multiple sclerosis, the human anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody ofatumumab was associated with a lower annualized relapse rate than the pyrimidine-synthesis inhibitor teriflunomide, as well as fewer lesions on MRI.

Emicizumab binds to activated factor IX and factor X, reproducing the bridging function of the missing factor VIII. In a trial of emicizumab prophylaxis, emicizumab every 1 or 2 weeks led to a lower bleeding rate than no prophylaxis.

In two 16-week, placebo-controlled trials enrolling adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody against interleukin-4 receptor alpha, was effective in controlling the signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by the up-regulation of type 2 immune responses (including those involving type 2 helper T cells), 1 , 2 an impaired skin barrier, and increased Staphylococcus aureus colonization. 3 , 4 In patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, skin lesions can encompass a large body-surface area and are frequently accompanied by intense, persistent pruritus, which leads to sleep deprivation, symptoms of anxiety or depression, and a poor quality of life. 5 – 7 For patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, topical therapies have limited efficacy, and systemic treatments are associated with substantial toxic effects. Thus, there . . .

Treatment of uncontrolled asthma with dupilumab, an anti–interleukin-4 and anti–interleukin-13 receptor monoclonal antibody, in addition to usual therapy, led to a rate of severe exacerbations that was approximately 50% lower than the rate with placebo.

Among participants with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, 32% had remission at weeks 36 and 48 when treated with mepolizumab, an anti–interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody, as compared with 3% of the participants in the placebo group. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly known as the Churg–Strauss syndrome) is characterized by asthma, sinusitis, pulmonary infiltrates, neuropathy, and eosinophilic vasculitis of one or more end-organs. 1 – 4 Eosinophils are thought to induce pathogenic effects in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis by means of tissue and vascular infiltration and inflammation through a variety of mediators. 5 , 6 Although systemic glucocorticoids form the cornerstone of treatment for eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, 7 – 9 most patients remain dependent on glucocorticoid therapy, and relapses are common. 10 – 13 Furthermore, some patients do not have a sufficient response to glucocorticoids. Because recurrent relapses place the patient at . . .

Patients with recurrent pericarditis were treated with the interleukin-1 trap rilonacept. Those who had a response were randomly assigned to receive continued rilonacept or placebo. Rilonacept led to a significantly lower risk of pericarditis recurrence than placebo.
