Cremophor EL (CrEL) is a solubilizer used in paclitaxel and is associated with side effects (i.e., hypersensitivity reactions, peripheral neuropathy). Current CrEL-containing therapies require long infusion times (2-4 hours) and pre-medication with steroids to manage these side-effects. However, the holistic burden of CrEL on patients is not well studied. This study aimed to characterize the burden associated with CrEL-paclitaxel treatment on patients with ovarian cancer, including clinical, safety, and quality of life (QoL) implications.

OBJECTIVES: Point of care rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have demonstrated accurate and timely diagnosis across decentralized settings, broadening patient access in remote locations and improving pathways to diagnosis. This study aimed to synthesize published and other literature on the clinical, societal, and economic value of RDTs for infectious disease across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
METHODS: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using PubMed and Embase for publications dated 2017 to 2021 in accordance with PRISMA guidelines using RDT and infectious…

OBJECTIVES: The European Medicines Agency’s in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) regulation (IVD-R) will roll out over the next 5 years; under IVD-R, Notified Bodies (NBs) will be required to review a larger proportion of IVDs (estimated increase from 8% to 80%). Under IVD-R manufacturers will not only have to demonstrate safety and equivalence of their IVD, but also scientific validity and analytical/clinical performance. Thought papers have hypothesized IVD-R’s impact on development timelines and evidence requirements. Key concerns include delays in approval timelines due…

OBJECTIVES: As COVID-19 severely restricted patients’ ability to visit care settings in-person, the use of telehealth was impacted; the immediate and enduring impact on telehealth utilization is an unanswered question. This study aimed to identify medical conditions typically treated using telehealth and quantify trends in telehealth utilization through the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed using a 10 million-record random sample of patients with telehealth visits (with telehealth defined by CPT codes with telehealth modifiers or place-of-service codes).…

OBJECTIVES: Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by chronic cortisol overproduction. Our objective was to summarize the economic and health-related (HR) quality of life (QoL) burden of CS and evaluate post-treatment burden.
METHODS: A systematic literature review (SLR) using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was conducted to identify peer-reviewed manuscripts and conference abstracts published in English from 2015 to December 4th, 2020, in PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase.
RESULTS: Forty-five publications were included. Data…

Cremophor EL (CrEL) is an additive (excipient) used to improve the solubility of hydrophobic drugs including certain anti-cancer drugs, like paclitaxel. Although the potential toxicities associated with CrEL are well known, the burden of CrEL-containing therapy is not well defined in the published scientific literature.
