QUMAX TableTop Session
The document discusses the QUMAX program, which aims to improve quality use of medicines for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The program is a collaboration between NACCHO and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, funded by the Department of Health. It provides seven areas of support to participating Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organizations, including dose administration aid arrangements, pharmacy support, home medicine reviews, education and cultural awareness training, to meet the specific needs of local communities and clients.

This document summarizes a project to improve medication dosage communication for Aboriginal communities in the Kimberley region of Australia. It discusses developing and using community-specific language and symbols on dosage administration aids and labels. Surveys were conducted in several communities to determine preferred terms for describing times of day to take medication. The results showed that while communities preferred different language, they agreed on three main dosing times and disliked distinguishing between evening doses. Resources and practices were updated based on the findings to better meet each community's needs and understandings around medication dosing.

Clinical interactions and communication are key factors for improving chronic disease self-management for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with rheumatic heart disease. Improving communication requires effective two-way and cross-cultural communication between patients, community members, and healthcare providers. Strategies like clinical yarning and developing cultural health capital can help build rapport and understanding between patients and providers to support self-management. Addressing social and cultural factors is important for meaningful patient-provider interactions and successful self-management.

This document discusses cancer outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. It notes that Indigenous Australians have higher cancer incidence and mortality than non-Indigenous Australians. The disparity is due to higher risk factors, lower screening participation, later diagnosis, and less access to treatment for Indigenous people. Various organizations are working to address this, including Cancer Australia, through frameworks, leadership groups, and care pathways to improve prevention, screening, treatment and support for Indigenous cancer patients. Primary healthcare plays a key role through awareness, screening, care coordination and supporting research.

The document discusses new approaches being taken by Darwin Division of General Practice (DDHS) in response to a changing healthcare environment with tight funding. DDHS has adopted a new service model inspired by the Indigenous Urban and Interface Health model, focusing on quality care through Medicare items. This involves clinics, care pathways, and electronic health records. Results from 2016-2017 show increases in new clients, Medicare income, and key performance indicators. Next steps include further embedding the service model, opening more clinics, and advocacy.
Doctor Ray Lovett
This document outlines the Mayi Kuwayu study, a longitudinal cohort study led by Ray Lovett that aims to develop cultural wellbeing indicators with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It will assess how cultural factors relate to health risks and outcomes. The study is guided by national health plans and research directions calling for evidence on the role of culture in Indigenous health. It uses a conceptual model relating cultural determinants to other factors and health. The study involves community engagement to design the survey and indicators, and will recruit nationally through Medicare data with additional community sampling. Initial pilots have occurred and the next steps include further indicator development, national recruitment and testing, and longitudinal data collection and linkage to examine relationships over time.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
