Advisory Panel Votes Against Once-Weekly Insulin for Type 1 Diabetes

Image
In a 7 to 4 vote, an advisory panel to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that the potential benefits of the investigational once-weekly basal insulin analog icodec (Novo Nordisk) don't outweigh the increased risk for  hypoglycemia  in people with  type 1 diabetes .  The May 24 meeting of the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee was convened specifically to advise the FDA of the benefits versus risks of icodec in people with type 1 diabetes based on the results of ONWARDS-6, one of Novo Nordisk's  randomized clinical trials  of icodec.  Five other  ONWARDS trials  were conducted in people with  type 2 diabetes . The FDA hasn't publicly raised concerns about efficacy and safety seen in any of those trials.  In the phase 3a ONWARDS-6, in which 290 patients were randomized to icodec and 292 patients to once-daily degludec (Tresiba), icodec was noninferior in improving  A1c  at 26...

Practice-Changing' Trial Guides Prostate Cancer Therapy

Image
​ A major trial has demonstrated that lower risk prostate cancers do not fare better by adding 6 months of hormone treatment to radiotherapy following radical   prostatectomy , compared with radiotherapy alone. On the other hand, adding 2 years of hormone treatment instead of 6 months only to radiotherapy (RT) did lead to better 10-year metastasis-free survival in men with a higher risk of recurrence.  The researchers involved in the trial said these “practice-changing” results could enable thousands of  prostate cancer  patients with higher risk cancer to benefit from improved treatment outcomes with longer courses of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). At the same time, patients with lower risk cancer could be reassured that radiotherapy alone is effective following surgery, so avoiding the need for unnecessary hormone therapy and its side effects. Trial chief investigator Chris Parker, professor of prostate oncology at the Institute of Cancer Research, London, tol...

More Rapid Confirmation of an Autism Diagnosis Is Coming to Primary Care

Image
​ TORONTO — Driven by evidence that early access to autism services improves long-term outcomes, an evolution is rapidly unfolding to accelerate the diagnosis, often with the direct participation of pediatricians, according to a series of studies presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting. Accelerated Diagnosis In one study, 80% of the evaluations were conducted within 6 weeks of patient enrollment, according to Corinna Rea, MD, a clinician in the primary care center at Boston Children's Hospital as well as an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. This outcome was drawn from a pilot study with 179 children suspected of  autism spectrum disorder  (ASD) by clinicians in a pediatric clinic. All were under the age of 3 years. In the first step, families completed the Bayley-4 Social-Emotional and Adaptive Behavior Scale. The next step was a virtual assessment by a trained clinician using the TELE-ASD-PEDs (TAP) tool developed by Va...

Do You Really Know a UTI When You See It?

Image
An updated clinical approach to diagnosing urinary tract infections (UTIs) that considers five potential phenotype categories instead of the usual three could aid clinical management and better center patient needs,  according to the authors of a new study  in  The Journal of Urology . The current diagnostic paradigm includes UTI, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), or not UTI, but the researchers believe these categories exclude for more ambiguous clinical cases, such as patients whose bacteria counts are low but who are symptomatic, or when nonspecific symptoms make it difficult to determine whether treatment with antibiotics is appropriate. "Our findings suggest the need to reframe our conceptual model of UTI vs ASB to recognize clinical uncertainty and reflect the full spectrum of clinical presentations," Sonali D. Advani, MBBS, MPH, an associate professor of medicine in infectious disease at Duke University School of Medicine, in Durham, North Carolina, and her colleague...

Former UCLA Doctor Receives $14 Million in Gender Discrimination Retrial

Image
​ A California jury has awarded $14 million to a former University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) oncologist who claimed she was paid thousands less than her male colleagues and wrongfully terminated after her complaints of gender-based harassment and intimidation were ignored by program leadership. The decision comes after a lengthy 8-year legal battle in which an appellate judge reversed a previous jury decision in her favor. Lauren Pinter-Brown, MD, a hematologic oncologist, was hired in 2005 by the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine — now called UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. As the school's lymphoma program director, she conducted clinical research alongside other oncology doctors, including Sven de Vos, MD. She claimed that her professional relationship with de Vos became contentious after he demonstrated "oppositional" and "disrespectful" behavior at team meetings, such as talking over her and turning his chair so Pin...
