KOL believes that the available schizophrenia treatments that provide the most efficacy also have the highest side effects.
On key factors effecting treatment: “First of all tolerability, because if the tolerability is not good then there will be no adherence. The second is efficacy, and the third one maybe is also whether the compound is also available as a depot. I think that is a major advantage if a drug, if an antipsychotic, is indeed available as a depot or as a long-acting injection (LAI).”
“It [Abraxane] is so easy to give. Women tolerate it so well. It works pretty good, it doesn’t work all the time, it works pretty well, and the patients don’t get so fatigued, they don’t have side effects, they don’t need premeds, and they rarely need to be boosted for white cells decrease. Whereas in the Eribulin, you know they’re gonna be coming back. It’s a pretty easy drug to give. Patients tolerate it fairly well… I use it [Abraxane] as first line and I go back to it. Even if I have somebody that progresses, if they’ve been off of it for a while, I will often even go back to it.”
[Newer treatments] are definitely being used in the relapse population, and that’s where they made their mark like most other investigational agents for other cancers. I think the issue is that the response rate with initial induction therapy is so high. Whether or not there is going to be a maintenance-type study strategy, that’s a question with some of these therapies that are relatively low toxicity, but when you have a complete remission rate of 90-95%, and ALL’s not the most common disease – it’s a pretty rare cancer actually – that it’s going to be difficult to do large studies for indications in the randomized setting.
“When people need therapy (for advanced stage Follicular Lymphoma), there’s a whole gamut. If they have relatively low volume disease, one option, which unfortunately in the community I would say is underutilized, is single-agent rituximab.”
This survey of US primary care physicians (n=10) and endocrinologists (n=10) was undertaken to evaluate the impact of GLP-1 agonists if they were to be introduced in the Diabetes market.
We surveyed primary care physicians (n=10) and endocrinologists (n=10) to see how SGLT-2 inhibitors and the combo pills will be used and what the potential impact of usage with GLP-1 agonists may have.

Uptake of Entresto (NVS) in the US has been slow following approval in July 2015. Part of that is due to the time it has taken to secure insurance coverage, but physicians have complained about other insurance barriers, as well, and there are also clinical factors that could play a role.
