Domestic generic drug registration has a large proportion in chemical drugs with outstanding repeated registration phe-nomenon and low level innovation of enterprises. Under the above background, chemical drug registration reform kicked off. The imple-mentation of new drug registration classification, marketing authorization holder and the changes of listed drug registration documents have a huge impact on China' s pharmaceutical industry, which can promote the reformulation of domestic pharmaceutical market, en-courage R&D and innovation in enterprises and accelerate the pace towards the international market.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of manipulation of Imipenem and cisplatin sodium (ICS) for injection on the consistency of its main drug imipenem (IPN) content, and the stability of different concentrations of ICS solution, to provide a reference for the safe and effective use of ICS in children. METHODS Three operators prepared ICS solutions according to the two commonly used dosage methods for children (10 mL or 20 mL 0.9% Sodium chloride injection to prepare the initial ICS solution and draw the required dose from the initial suspension). The content of IPN was determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry after parallel processing. The content consistency of solutions in each group was determined according to the coefficient of variation (CV)<15% of the IPN content. ICS test solution X1 was prepared according to the instructions, and then test solutions X2 and X3 were prepared by diluting X1 with 0.9% Sodium chloride injection in the volume ratios of 1∶1 and 1∶2, which were stored at room temperature ([ 23.0±0.5) ℃], in a thermostatic water bath at 30 ℃, and in a refrigerator at 2-8 ℃. The stability of the drug solution was determined by the ratio of the IPN mass concentration measured at the specified temperature and time to the initial (0 h) mass concentration (if the ratio was≥90%, it was considered that the drug solution was stable). RESULTS CV of IPN content was <15% in each group of solutions prepared with two manipulation methods by each operator, indicating a small deviation in IPN content. The solutions at the three concentration levels were stable at room temperature for 6 h or refrigerated for 18 h. The test solutions X1 and X2 were also stable when placed at 30 ℃ for 6 h, but the IPN concentration in test solution X3 decreased by about 20% compared with that of 0 h. CONCLUSIONS The consistency of the content of IPN is good in the two commonly used methods for ICS manipulation in children. The stability of ICS solution is affected by concentration, temperature and time. Lower concentrations at higher temperatures resulted in decreased stability of IPN. Clinical attention should be paid to controlling the amount of solvent as well as temperature and time during preparation and use.

OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze the post-marketing adverse drug event (ADE) signals of irinotecan in adults and children populations, and to provide a reference for clinical safe medication. METHODS ADE reports of irinotecan from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2023 in the US FDA adverse event reporting system database were extracted and the risk signals of irinotecan were detected through the reporting odds ratio and proportional reporting ratio. Statistical analysis was performed for ADE reports and signals of patients aged<18 years (children) and ≥18 years (adults). RESULTS A total of 8 013 ADE reports with irinotecan as the primary suspect drug were identified, including 7 656 and 357 ADE reports in adults and children, respectively. A total of 518 and 75 ADE signals were detected in the adults and children, and the mainly involved systems and organs including gastrointestinal disorders, blood and lymphatic system disorders, systemic disorders and various reactions at the administration site, etc. Most of the top 20 ADE signals in terms of frequency were documented in the drug instructions of irinotecan. New ADE signals in adults included peripheral neuropathy, oral mucosal inflammation, pulmonary embolism, epidermal nevus syndrome and reproductive toxicity, while hypertension, progressive neoplasms, tumor lysis syndromes, and embolism were new ADE signals in children. CONCLUSIONS The above new suspected high-risk signals not mentioned in the instructions should raise a high level of alertness in clinical practice of irinotecan.
