The audit storm continues, strictly checking the loopholes in hospital accounts

Recently, the National Audit Office released the audit dynamics “holding a video conference on audit rectification work, conducting public health construction project audits…” It mentioned that the Audit Bureau of Wuhan City, Hubei Province, conducted an audit of public health construction projects at the municipal level. The Audit Bureau of Wuhan City examines whether the construction projects comply with relevant plans, industrial and industry policies, whether the funds are raised in place, whether the project approval procedures are complete, and whether the projects are promoted on schedule, to promote the implementation of public health projects. Pay attention to the construction of major epidemic treatment bases at the municipal level, review the construction of negative pressure wards and negative pressure operating rooms, whether the infectious disease beds, normal beds, and peacetime and wartime beds meet the planning requirements, the designated hospital hemodialysis machine reserves meet the standards, whether the medical supplies ...

Focusing on complement, standardized diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases usher in a new chapter

So far, the 2024 medical insurance catalog adjustment has announced the drugs and related information that have passed the formal review. From the draft for comments, rare disease drugs are still one of the focuses of the medical insurance catalog adjustment. Rare diseases are also called “orphan diseases”. Most of them are congenital diseases, chronic diseases, and may be life-threatening. Although the incidence of rare diseases is low, there are many types of diseases and the number of patients cannot be underestimated. At present, there are more than 7,000 confirmed rare diseases in the world, and there are about 20 million rare disease patients in China1. For a long time, the clinical phenotypes of rare diseases and common diseases overlap greatly, and early diagnosis is difficult, so the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates are high. According to statistics from the National Organization for Rare Diseases in the United States, among ...

【EXPERT Q&A】What is a passive medical device?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Passive medical devices refer to those that do not rely on external energy sources (such as electricity or batteries) to perform their intended functions. These devices typically utilize physical principles like mechanics, optics, acoustics, and thermodynamics to achieve their functions, with their energy primarily derived from the human body itself or gravitational forces. I. Characteristics of Passive Medical Devices Energy Source: Passive medical devices do not depend on external power sources or other forms of energy. Instead, they operate directly using natural forces such as the human body or gravity. Function Realization: They achieve their intended medical functions through physical principles like mechanical force, pressure, optical properties, etc. Safety: Since they do not rely on external power, these devices generally do not generate electromagnetic interference or radiation during use, making them safer for the human body. II. Classification of Passive Medical Devices Passive medical devices can be ...

Pathalys secures $105m to advance SHPT drug through approval

Pathalys Pharma has secured $105m in a Series B financing round to support its clinical trials, file a new drug application (NDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and accelerate preapproval commercialisation preparations. The company’s lead candidate is upacicalcet, a drug used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients undergoing dialysis due to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The calcimimetic drug mirrors the action of calcium on tissues, particularly the parathyroid glands. The medication is typically administered during dialysis sessions. Earlier this year, Pathalys launched two identical Phase III studies of upacicalcet, which will both enrol 375 patients. The PATH study program is designed to assess the efficacy of upacicalcet as measured by its ability to reduce intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) by 30% or more in participants with SHPT and currently on haemodialysis. The funding round, led by TCGX, is set to support these clinical trials, and advance the ...

Novartis’ kidney disease drug Fabhalta receives US FDA approval

Novartis announced that the US FDA has granted accelerated approval for Fabhalta (iptacopan), a first-in-class complement inhibitor for the reduction of proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression. This is generally defined as a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥1.5 g/g (1). Fabhalta specifically targets the alternative complement pathway of the immune system. When overly activated in the kidneys, the complement system is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of IgAN (1-4). This indication is granted under accelerated approval based on the pre-specified interim analysis of the Phase III APPLAUSE-IgAN study measuring reduction in proteinuria at 9 months compared to placebo. It has not been established whether Fabhalta slows kidney function decline in patients with IgAN. The continued approval of Fabhalta may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit from the ongoing Phase III APPLAUSE-IgAN study, evaluating whether Fabhalta slows disease ...

NHS Scotland, AZ and Scottish universities partner for kidney health research

NHS Scotland, AstraZeneca (AZ) and the Universities of Glasgow and Dundee have entered into a partnership to accelerate research into treating chronic kidney disease (CKD). The collaboration aims to develop new medicines to slow down the progression of CKD, build infrastructure and enhance expertise in renal clinical trial delivery in Scotland to improve patient outcomes. Affecting nearly 850 million people worldwide, CKD is a serious, progressive condition caused by decreased kidney function, commonly caused by diabetes, hypertension and glomerulonephritis. By preventing the progression of CKD, patients will live longer, better lives, free from other consequences of the condition, including heart failure, cardiovascular disease and stroke, while also reducing pressure on the NHS. In addition to slowing the progression of CKD, NHS Scotland, AZ and the Universities of Glasgow and Dundee will work to reduce the risk of patients potentially needing dialysis, a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid ...

Ardelyx sues CMS over revamped kidney disease drug payment bundle

Ardelyx has declared that it is filing a lawsuit against the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to keep essential phosphate-lowering therapies separate from the CMS’s renal disease payment bundle, claiming that the action could “limit patient choice”. Ardelyx has teamed up with the American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) and the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) to sue the government organisations regarding the CMS’s renal disease payment bundle. The End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Prospective Payment System (PPS) is a bundled payment scheme for renal dialysis services available for Medicare beneficiaries. The ESRD PPS adjusts treatment costs at the patient and facility level for renal dialysis treatment at an ESRD facility or the patient’s home. This payment includes costs for laboratory services, drugs, supplies, and more, as per CMS’s description. The litigation states that the CMS has “violated ...
