Although in ancient times medics carried the caduceus into battle to signify the neutral, humanitarian nature of their tasks, they have never been immune to the perils of war.

  • Pharmacovigilance of Neuropsychiatric Adverse Reactions to Mefloquine
    PHARMACOVIGILANCE OF NEUROPSYCHIATRIC ADVERSE REACTIONS TO MEFLOQUINE by Remington L. Nevin, MD, MPH A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health Baltimore, Maryland August 2016 ABSTRACT Introduction Mefloquine (MQ) is a synthetic quinoline derivative antimalarial drug that is structurally related to quinine. Recently, MQ has been the subject of regulatory scrutiny, as awareness has grown of the potential for adverse neuropsychiatric reactions associated with the drug’s use. Mild neuropsychiatric adverse reactions to MQ prophylaxis may predict the development of more serious neuropsychiatric effects, including neurological disorders, which regulators now warn may occasionally be permanent. Despite the potential utility of prodromal reactions in predicting more serious reactions, it is unclear which specific reactions should prompt discontinuation. Prodromal and more serious neuropsychiatric reactions to MQ may also mimic other conditions, and the absence of knowledge of a distinct syndrome of neuropsychiatric adverse reactions associated with the drug’s use may limit specificity of case finding in pharmacogenetic studies. Methods A review of international drug safety guidance was conducted with the aim of defining common categories of neuropsychiatric adverse reactions to MQ, including those that may be prodromal. Next, latent class analysis (LCA) of reported categories of neuropsychiatric adverse reactions to antimalarial drugs, including MQ, was performed with the aim of identifying a distinct neuropsychiatric syndrome class associated with the drug’s use. Lastly, a pharmacogenetic study of adverse outcomes associated with use of ii MQ was conducted with the aim of assessing the utility of surrogate neuropsychiatric phenotypes in genetic association studies.
