Hypothermia Versus Normothermia After Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Temperature control is a key neurointensive care for post-cardiac arrest patients. Although therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to be effective in the past, recent large randomized controlled trials have failed to demonstrate its efficacy. The international guidelines recommend temperature control under 37.7°C. However, the optimal temperature control, i.e., hypothermia versus normothermia, remains controversial. Additionally, randomized controlled trials that examined temperature control after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) are lacking. ECPR is a resuscitation technique using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for refractory cardiac arrest. In ECPR patients, ECMO using a heat exchanger can more rapidly achieve the targeted temperature as compared to other temperature control devices. Early cooling to achieve hypothermia after resuscitation is expected to be more effective for neuroprotection in the injured brain. Thus, the investigators hypothesized that hypothermia would be effective in ECPR patients. Furthermore, ECMO can stabilize the respiratory and circulatory status. Therefore, hypothermia, which may have side effects such as electrolyte abnormalities and arrhythmias, may be safely performed by ECMO. However, ECMO requires the administration of anticoagulants; therefore, it has the risk of hemorrhagic complications. Among patients receiving ECPR, bleeding is a common complication due to its relatively difficult procedure, considering the fact that emergent cannulation is performed under resuscitation. Additionally, CPR-related complications can also result in bleeding. These complications may be enhanced by hypothermia. Therefore, hypothermia after ECPR could contribute to a favorable outcome, but it could also cause bleeding. The SAVE-J NEUROTHERM trial is a cluster randomized trial that evaluated and compared the mortality risk, neurological outcomes, and adverse events between out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who underwent hypothermia and normothermia after ECPR.

Multi-omics Study in Citrin Deficiency

Citrin deficiency (CD) is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic condition that is also a secondary urea cycle disorder caused by mutations in the SLC25A13 gene, which encodes for the mitochondrial transporter, citrin. Citrin is a key component of the mitochondrial malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS) and is responsible for moving Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) from the cytosol into the mitochondria via reducing equivalents such as malate, which drives mitochondrial respiration to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The MAS is also critical in regulating Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) redox balance to maintain cytosolic redox-dependent metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Citrin is also required to supply cytosolic aspartate, which is the substrate of one of the urea cycle enzymes, namely argininosuccinate synthetase 1, and thus important for the proper functioning of the urea cycle. The clinical presentations of citrin deficiency often vary widely between patients but can generally be distinguished by distinct clinical phenotypes, which are neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) that affects infants, the "failure to thrive and dyslipidemia" form of CD (FTTDCD) in childhood, the adaptation or silent period, and citrullinemia type II (CTLN2), which represents the most severe form of the condition. While only a small percentage of CD patients develop CTLN2, the prognosis for these patients is typically poor. It is notable that all CD patients above 1 year old (post-NICCD) naturally develop a characteristic food preference that favors a diet rich in protein and fat while being low in carbohydrates. Other clinical findings observed in some CD patients include fatty liver, fatigue, hypoglycemia, and failure to thrive. There is currently no effective cure for CD. Before the onset of CTLN2, patients are primarily managed by diet control with a low carbohydrate, high protein and high-fat diet, as well as medium chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation. CTLN2 patients have been treated with sodium pyruvate, arginine, and MCT with limited success, with severe cases requiring liver transplantation as the only solution. There are currently no specific biomarkers that effectively track the disease progression, making it challenging to monitor how well patients are actually doing or to measure the effectiveness of therapies. Without proper management or timely medical interventions, patients may develop CTLN2. Given the urgent and unmet need for biomarkers specific to CD, the main goal of this study is to uncover disease-specific biomarkers by analyzing blood samples collected from CD patients using both targeted and untargeted metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics, and transcriptomics. Targeted omics will involve the analysis of cellular pathways associated with the condition, such as the MAS pathway, glycolysis, protein metabolism, de novo lipogenesis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, NAD+ metabolism, ureagenesis, and the glutamine synthetase pathway. Identification of such biomarkers will allow a deeper understanding of the disease pathogenesis. Importantly, these biomarkers may enable better tracking of disease progression and may help to prevent the onset of CTLN2. Finally, these biomarkers will also greatly benefit the development of effective therapeutic options for CD in clinical trials by serving as measurable endpoints. Obtaining the necessary material from patients consists of a minimally invasive venous blood sampling taken during a regular outpatient visit and after the informed consent of the patients or caretakers.

A Trial of Lu AF82422 in Participants With Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)

This study will consist of a 3-6-week screening period, a 72-week placebo-controlled period (PCP), and will include a 72-week optional dose-blinded open-label treatment extension (OLE) period. Participants in the PCP will be randomized to Lu AF82422 high dose, Lu AF82422 low dose or placebo (1:1:1). All participants entering the OLE will receive Lu AF82422 during the OLE. Participants will receive intravenous infusions approximately every 4 weeks during both the PCP and OLE.
