【EXPERT Q&A】What is temporary mining of medical consumables?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: “The procurement of medical consumables on an ad hoc basis” typically refers to the acquisition of medical consumables by healthcare institutions for clinical use, such as surgical instruments, dressings, syringes, catheters, and so forth. These consumables are essential for the daily provision of medical services in healthcare facilities. However, due to specific patient needs, types of procedures, and other factors, healthcare institutions may procure these consumables as needed during clinical practice rather than purchasing them in bulk beforehand. The term “ad hoc procurement” or “clinical procurement” implies that healthcare institutions purchase the necessary medical consumables based on current clinical demands and patient conditions. This ensures the smooth delivery of medical services. Unlike pre-planned routine procurement, clinical procurement is more flexible, allowing adjustments to be made promptly to meet specific medical needs as they arise.

Groundbreaking Test Monitors Radiation Therapy Toxicity in Cancer Patients

The concentration of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the bloodstream is an important indicator that can help track how well cancer treatments are working. Before starting treatment, measuring cfDNA levels can give doctors a snapshot of the extent of the cancer’s spread in the body. High levels of cfDNA often mean the cancer is widespread or aggressive. As treatment goes on, doctors can keep an eye on cfDNA levels to see if the treatment is effective. A drop in cfDNA levels could mean the treatment is working and the tumor is getting smaller. But if cfDNA levels remain unchanged or rise, it might mean the treatment isn’t working, and the cancer is still growing or has become resistant to treatment. Now, a simple blood test monitors this liquid biomarker in real time to track how well a cancer treatment is working. DiaCarta’s (Pleasanton, CA, USA) RadTox Test is a liquid ...

AZ/Merck’s Lynparza approved by SMC to treat advanced prostate cancer in Scotland

Up to 20% of prostate cancer cases are classified as castration-resistant AstraZeneca (AZ) and Merck & Co – known as MSD outside the US and Canada – have announced that the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has approved Lynparza (olaparib) in combination with abiraterone and prednisone or prednisolone to treat adult patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Affecting around one in ten men in Scotland, approximately 10% to 20% of prostate cancer cases are classified as castration resistant, evolving to resist androgen deprivation therapy, the standard of care. mCRPC occurs when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, which is challenging to treat and results in a poor prognosis. The SMC’s decision was based on results from the phase 3 randomised, double-blind PROpel trial, which evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Lynparza versus placebo when given in addition to abiraterone in men with mCRPC who had ...

FDA Approves First Gene Therapy for Children with Metachromatic Leukodystroph

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Lenmeldy (atidarsagene autotemcel), the first FDA-approved gene therapy indicated for the treatment of children with pre-symptomatic late infantile, pre-symptomatic early juvenile or early symptomatic early juvenile metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a debilitating, rare genetic disease affecting the brain and nervous system. It is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme called arylsulfatase A (ARSA), leading to a buildup of sulfatides (fatty substances) in the cells. This buildup causes damage to the central and peripheral nervous system, manifesting with loss of motor and cognitive function and early death. It is estimated that MLD affects one in every 40,000 individuals in the United States. There is no cure for MLD, and treatment typically focuses on supportive care and symptom management. “This is the first FDA-approved treatment option for children who have this rare genetic disease,” said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of ...
