Adjunctive soticlestat minimally beneficial in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Use of the cholesterol 24-hydroxylase inhibitor soticlestat as adjunctive therapy in patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) falls short of reducing the frequency of major motor drop (MMD) seizures, according to the results of the phase III SKYWAY trial.

Real-world evidence positions nirsevimab ahead in infant RSV prevention

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains a leading cause of hospitalisation and severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in infants worldwide. [Lancet 2022;399:2047-2064; Lancet 2017;390:946-958] In recent years, two immunoprophylactic strategies have become available to protect infants, namely maternal immunisation with the RSV prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine and passive immunisation of infants with the long-acting monoclonal antibody nirsevimab.
