Assessing drug safety in clinical trialsRay Wright
The document discusses leveraging analytics tools and ontologies to understand and compare the safety profiles of drugs. It notes that one of the key factors in drug approval is safety, and understanding the safety landscape of competing drugs is important. The approach presented aggregates adverse event data from clinical trials to create a heat map comparing safety profiles of different drugs or classes. This allows users to easily identify areas of safety concerns or differences between drug candidates.
The document discusses opportunities for pharmacy practice research in community settings. It begins by outlining the changing role of pharmacists from product-focused to patient-centered care. There is a need for pharmacy practice research in community settings to optimize medication use, support self-care, and improve health outcomes. The presentation then describes development of a clinical tool called STARZ-DRP, which is a step-by-step approach for minor illness consultation and triaging decisions in community pharmacies. A study was conducted to evaluate STARZ-DRP which found it improved identification of drug-related problems and referral decisions compared to usual care.
Measuring the Relationship between Innovative Drugs and AE_2015Jonathan Bryan
This study used logistic regression to analyze the relationship between drug innovation classes and reported adverse events. It utilized a previous study's classification of 645 drugs from 1987-2011 into first-in-class, advanced-in-class, or addition-to-class based on FDA review designations. Adverse event data was obtained from FAERS reports from 2004-2014. The results found that total adverse events per drug followed a power law distribution, with most drugs having few events but some outliers with many. Logistic regression found a weak relationship between adverse events and innovation classes, except for more advanced-in-class drugs having higher lifetime adverse event totals. This highlights the need for more systematic drug outcome data to develop better models of drug
This document discusses strategies for comparative efficacy trials. It provides an overview of the role of comparative efficacy trials in evaluating new drugs for approval and reimbursement decisions. The document examines different trial designs that can provide comparative data and challenges in comparator selection. It also reviews factors to consider in choosing an appropriate active comparator and discusses how scientific advice from regulators can guide clinical development planning.
Specialty Pharmacy and Oral Chemotherapies – Jorge J. Garcia Pharm D, MS, MHA...flasco_org
The document discusses specialty pharmaceuticals, which treat complex chronic conditions at a high cost. Specialty pharmaceutical spending was $92.2 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach $110 billion by 2014. The top disease states for specialty drugs are oncology, autoimmune disorders, and respiratory conditions. Specialty pharmacies provide services like benefits investigation, prior authorizations, and clinical case management. Health systems can establish specialty pharmacies to better coordinate patient care, reduce costs from ER visits and readmissions, and leverage existing payer contracts and infrastructure. Specialty pharmacies require investments in licensing, technology, staffing and training but can generate over $200 million annually in prescription volume.

Role and use of Pharmacoeconomics and health outcomes research | Impact of price regulation in India | Factors affecting drug pricing | Need, challenges and components of pharmacoeconomics | Aims, Objectives and principle of Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation | Different types of cost measurement | The Methods of Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation | Cost Analysis (CUA)
Why Pharmaceutical Prices are Rising and How We Can Fight Against Them?Cedric Dark
Pharmaceutical prices are rising due to minimal government regulation, lack of competition, end of generic drugs wave, supply disruptions and industry consolidation. This leads to increased healthcare costs, formulary changes, nonadherence and rationing of medications. Possible solutions include increasing price transparency, competition, importing drugs from other countries, and legislation prohibiting pay-for-delay deals. Harris Health implemented cost control strategies like a closed formulary, therapeutic substitutions, and patient assistance programs, achieving over $60 million in savings and cost avoidance in fiscal year 2016.

This document discusses specialty drug management solutions from PwC. It notes that specialty drugs are the fastest growing component of pharmacy costs, accounting for 32% of costs while only representing 1% of prescriptions. There are concerns about the high and increasing costs of specialty drugs, variations in their management across pharmacy and medical benefits, and lack of transparency. PwC's approach involves diagnosing spending trends, formulating management strategies like innovative pricing and site of care optimization, and implementing programs to realize annual savings of 5-15% or $186,000-$558,000 for a typical employer.
It is a sub-discipline of health economics , Pharmacoeconomics refers to the scientific discipline that compares the value of one pharmaceutical drug or drug therapy to another.
Pharmacoeconomics deals with identifying, measuring, and comparing the costs and consequences of pharmaceutical products and services.
This document provides an overview of pharmacoeconomics, including its history, definitions, types of evaluations, and limitations. Pharmacoeconomics developed in the 1970s to analyze the costs of drug therapy. It is concerned with the economic impact of pharmaceutical products and services on individuals, health systems, and society. There are several types of pharmacoeconomic evaluations including cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-utility analysis, and cost-benefit analysis, which are used to compare drug programs and therapies. Pharmacoeconomic studies can be conducted during various phases of drug development and are used by industry, government, and private sectors to make decisions about research, pricing, and insurance coverage.
Advanced Diagnostics in the Post-PAMA EraJohn Hanna
The document discusses trends impacting molecular diagnostics reimbursement, including:
1) Commercial payers are increasingly adopting strategies like specialty drug carve-outs, step therapies, prior authorization, and utilization management programs to contain costs, similar to strategies used for specialty drugs.
2) Reference pricing and lab benefit management programs that provide price transparency and incentivize use of lower-cost providers have been associated with reduced prices and spending while maintaining patient access.
3) Post-PAMA reforms like ADLT designation and Medicare clinical lab fee schedule updates aim to balance innovation and access for new tests, but challenges remain around coding, rate-setting, and determining what constitutes "new clinical information".
Post-marketing surveillance (PMS) involves monitoring pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices after they have been released to the public to identify adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that were not detected in pre-market clinical trials due to limitations such as narrow study populations and durations. PMS benefits include identifying low frequency ADRs, effects in high risk groups, long term effects, and drug interactions. Information is collected through expert user groups, customer surveys, complaints, literature reviews, and media reports. PMS studies use controlled clinical trials, spontaneous reporting, cohort studies, and case control studies to identify drug effects.
Cost minimisation analysis in health economicsa01071979
Cost minimization analysis (CMA) compares two interventions or strategies that are assumed to have the same outcomes in order to determine the least costly option. CMA focuses only on costs and assumes equivalence between options' benefits. It is commonly used to compare drugs of equal efficacy and tolerability in pharmacoeconomics. CMA involves calculating and comparing the total costs associated with each option, including acquisition, administration, supplies, personnel, and other direct and indirect costs. It is useful for identifying the most cost-effective alternative when outcomes are equivalent.

The Value of Conducting Post-Marketing Clinical Research On Marketing Strategy Development
Nutraceutical Medical Research, LLC
By: Latesha Richards, Marketing Coordinator
Postmarketing surveillance (PMS) involves monitoring the safety of pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices after they have been approved for public use. PMS is important because pre-approval clinical trials involve relatively small numbers of participants and may not detect rare or long-term adverse effects. PMS uses various methods like spontaneous reporting, cohort studies, and case-control studies to monitor drug and device safety in larger populations over longer time periods after approval. The goal of PMS is to further evaluate or confirm the safety profile of products as they are used in real-world clinical settings by more diverse patients than clinical trials.

This document discusses the importance of evaluating clinical literature and provides guidance on how to systematically approach literature evaluation. It describes how to identify the level and type of reference (tertiary, secondary, primary), and provides tips for evaluating different aspects of clinical studies, such as the objective, subjects, treatment administration, setting, methods, controls, and data analysis. The document also discusses how the FDA communicates important drug safety information to healthcare professionals and the public.
This document discusses post-marketing surveillance (PMS), which involves monitoring the safety of pharmaceutical drugs after they have been approved and released on the market. PMS is important because pre-approval clinical trials involve relatively small groups of patients and may miss rare or long-term adverse effects only seen in larger populations. The document outlines various methods for PMS, including spontaneous reporting, cohort studies, and case-control studies. It also discusses the benefits of PMS for improving product quality and safety monitoring, as well as manufacturers' role in establishing PMS procedures and evaluating feedback.
This document discusses post-marketing surveillance (PMS), which involves monitoring the safety of pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices after they have been approved and released on the market. PMS is important because pre-approval clinical trials involve limited numbers of patients and cannot detect all potential adverse effects. The document outlines the history of PMS, sources of PMS information, benefits of PMS systems, methods of surveillance including spontaneous reporting and cohort studies, and how manufacturers can establish PMS procedures and systems to gather feedback on their products.
This document discusses post marketing surveillance of drugs. It defines post marketing surveillance as monitoring drugs once they reach the market to evaluate their safety and efficacy in wider patient populations than clinical trials. Several methods of post marketing surveillance are described, including spontaneous reporting, cohort studies, and case control studies. The goals of post marketing surveillance include identifying unexpected side effects, assessing drug interactions, and ensuring safe use of medications. It is an important part of pharmacovigilance, the science of monitoring pharmaceutical safety and outcomes.
This document discusses regulatory inefficiencies surrounding companion diagnostics and laboratory developed tests (LDTs) in the United States. It uses the case study of Genentech's drug MPDL3280A and its companion diagnostic to show that the FDA thoroughly regulates companion diagnostics but provides no oversight of clinical validity for LDTs. This allows multiple competing diagnostic tests to be used without proof of efficacy. The document also compares healthcare systems and technology assessment processes in the US, UK, and France to illustrate decentralized decision making in the US compared to centralized bodies in other countries.

This document provides an overview of post-marketing surveillance, outsourcing of bioavailability and bioequivalence studies to contract research organizations. It discusses the need for post-marketing surveillance to identify rare or long-term adverse drug reactions not seen in clinical trials. Methods for post-marketing surveillance include controlled trials, spontaneous reporting, cohort and case-control studies. Outsourcing bioavailability and bioequivalence studies to CROs can help reduce costs and improve resource efficiency for pharmaceutical companies.
Pharmaceutical marketing aims to educate consumers and healthcare professionals about new treatments. While some question the value of marketing, it plays an important role in disseminating medical information. Recent changes include voluntary principles for direct-to-consumer ads and a strengthened industry code of ethics. Studies show marketing helps address underdiagnosis and undertreatment by raising disease awareness and prompting patients to see doctors. However, most physicians say clinical knowledge and patient needs strongly influence prescribing over marketing.
Pharmaceutical marketing to healthcare providers provides information on new treatment options, but it is only one of many factors that influence prescribing decisions. Surveys find clinical knowledge, patient factors, and insurance policies have greater impacts. Approximately 67% of US prescriptions are for generic drugs, much higher than other countries. While representatives provide information, prescribing is shaped more by clinical guidelines, peers, formularies, and insurers' prior authorization requirements than representative interactions.
The document discusses challenges facing the healthcare industry and opportunities for collecting patient-reported outcomes data to inform coverage decisions. It notes the industry faces a "perfect storm" of healthcare reform uncertainties like expanding coverage and cost containment. Patient-reported outcomes data from registries, reimbursement programs, and adherence programs could provide evidence of effectiveness and be valuable to payers, but how and whether it will be used by decision-makers remains unclear.

This document discusses the importance of repeated exposure through print advertising in medical journals for keeping pharmaceutical brands top of mind for doctors. It summarizes several studies that show:
- Message recall is low, even with 4 exposures per year, requiring many more exposures for awareness.
- Frequency and consistency of advertising pay off, improving awareness the more a message is repeated.
- Print ads have a positive impact on doctors who prescribe the brand, whether or not they see a sales representative, and can influence prescribing behaviors.
- In a controlled study, 3 times as many doctors recalled a product they saw in print ads versus a control group who did not see ads.
This document discusses post-marketing surveillance of pharmaceuticals. Post-marketing surveillance involves monitoring drugs after they are approved for public use to identify safety risks. It can involve controlled clinical trials, spontaneous reporting of adverse events, cohort studies, and case-control studies. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System collects over a million reports annually to detect unknown risks and safety issues not found in clinical trials. Post-marketing surveillance is important for monitoring long-term effects and risks in broader patient populations than clinical trials.

Final FDA guidance on Medical Devices and Risk AnalysisDavid Sweigert
This document provides guidance for assessing benefits and risks when evaluating applications for investigational device exemptions (IDEs). It aims to clarify the factors considered by the FDA when making IDE approval decisions. The guidance emphasizes that effective risk management, including risk mitigation measures, can allow for a favorable benefit-risk determination. It also notes that earlier stages of device development are associated with greater uncertainty, but that uncertainty can be offset by risk controls. The guidance seeks to facilitate a balanced, comprehensive decision-making approach that considers clinical, nonclinical and patient perspectives.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
