Post-Market Clinical Follow Up Studies Under EU MDR and IVDREMMAIntl
On May 5, 2017, the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (90/385/EEC — AIMD) and the Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC — MDD) were replaced by the Medical Device Regulations (MDR) 2017/745, and the In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive (89/79/EC — IVDD) was replaced by the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulations (IVDR) 2017/746.
Both of these new regulations put a heavy emphasis on post-market surveillance activities for a product. Post-market clinical follow-up studies, or performance studies as called in the IVDR, are an integral part of the post-market surveillance requirements of the newly released regulations.

1. The document summarizes recent developments and future options in medicines and medical devices regulation in Australia, as presented by John Skerritt from the Department of Health.
2. Key updates included planned changes to medicines labeling, reviews of programs for orphan drugs and recalls, and a new online system for clinical trial notifications.
3. The presentation also discussed an expert panel review that recommended modernizing approval pathways for new drugs and generics, adopting risk-based approaches, and reforms to schemes for unapproved products.
The document discusses proposed expedited pathways for prescription medicines in Australia, including a Priority Review pathway. It outlines proposed eligibility criteria focusing on serious conditions with unmet needs where the medicine provides a major therapeutic advantage.
A draft designation process is presented involving assessment of eligibility criteria within 6-8 weeks. Designations would lapse if no registration submission is made within 3 months. Appeals of designation decisions are proposed.
Priority Review is aimed to complete assessments in 150 working days through flexible business processes and expert advice. Provisional Approval could grant earlier conditional registration based on early safety and efficacy data, with enhanced post-market monitoring required. Public consultation on

The document summarizes regulatory considerations for pharmaceuticals in Japan, including manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and post-marketing surveillance. For manufacturing, drugs must be approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and manufacturers must be licensed and follow good manufacturing practices. Packaging and labeling must contain specified information and any changes require relabeling. Post-marketing surveillance involves adverse event reporting, drug reexaminations every few years to reconfirm safety and efficacy, and reevaluations based on current medical knowledge.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
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.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
