It is difficult to treat cancer effectively without causing adverse side effects. In this article, Dr Li, Clinical Assistant Professor at the State University of New York and Board Director of ExonanoRNA, describes how an old strategy that never got off the ground has finally been leveraged to deliver safe,…
The problem of counterfeit medicines is becoming a tremendous burden to society. An edible security tag affixed to each medicine can provide track and trace measures with dose information and on-dose (in-dose) authentication. Furthermore, it serves as a last line of defence against illicit pharmaceutical products. Young Kim, Associate Head…
A new health technology regulation is due to be applied to help EU countries determine the effectiveness of novel technologies and decide on pricing and reimbursement by health insurers or health systems. Here, Professor Vincenzo Salvatore and Giuseppe Ragucci from BonelliErede reflect on what this means for the UK and…
Despite the promise of biofluorescent particle counters (BFPCs) as an alternative and rapid microbiological method and process analytical technology, their implementation thus far has predominantly occurred in non-GMP environments. In this article, EPR’s Hannah Balfour explores the reasons, with comment from Mike Russ, Senior Manager, Head of QCLS/Analytical Science and…
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are designed to be highly-targeted therapies with the potential to maximise the potency of a treatment while reducing unwanted side effects on healthy tissues. Some 20 years after the first ADC product approval, Dominik Schumacher and Jonas Helma-Smets of Tubulis GmbH discuss how improved and optimised technologies…
