Part Descriptions
LP20176-1 trough
In medicine, a trough level is the lowest level that a medicine is present in the body. In a medicine that is administered periodically, the trough level should be measured just before the administration of the next dose in order to avoid overdosing. It should be contrasted with a "peak level", which is the highest level of the medicine in the body, and the "average level", which is the mean level over time. It helps in therapeutic drug monitoring. It is widely used in clinical trials for newer medicines for its therapeutic effectiveness and safety.

LP250851-5 Ustekinumab
Ustekinumab (UST) is a human immunoglobulin G1κ (IgG1κ) that binds sub-unit p40 of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23 (IL-23). IL-12 and IL-23 are parts of the Th1 and Th17 inflammatory pathways, respectively, and are important in the development of psoriasis. Psoriasis has pathogenic similarities to psoriatic arthritis (PsA) which is an inflammatory disorder that is often unresponsive to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor therapy. Also, many patients with PsA who initially respond well to TNF inhibitors eventually stop responding. UST is not a TNF inhibitor and offers patients with PsA an alternative treatment which has been proven to be effective and safe for short-term use. The safety for long-term use of UST still needs further study. PMID: 24101949
