AbstractThis commentary addresses the recent U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) proposed rule to expand access to nonprescription drugs through additional conditions of nonprescription use (ACNU). It surveys the various pathways to market for pharmaceutical products, noting the distinct requirements for over-the-counter (OTC) products differentiating them from prescription products. It subsequently reviews the ACNU proposed rule, weighing its potential benefits against possible limitations. With a view towards the future, the ACNU proposed rule is acknowledged as part of a longstanding tradition to expand drug channels in a risk-stratified fashion with increasing clinical oversight to address in tandem increasing consumer risks. Finally, the proposed rule also serves as a potential prelude for a future behind the counter drug pathway.

Core Concepts in Pharmacoepidemiology: New‐User Designs

Review

Author: Young, Jessica C. ; Webster‐Clark, Michael ; Rouette, Julie ; Her, Qoua L. ; Tazare, John

ABSTRACTIn this article, we review the history and key reasons for new‐user comparisons in pharmacoepidemiology, highlighting the target trial framework as a unifying framework. We describe three distinct pharmacoepidemiological new‐user study designs: (1) new‐user versus non‐user; (2) active comparator new‐user; (i.e., ACNU) and (3) prevalent new‐user (i.e., PNU) designs, and discuss how each relates to key issues of defining time zero, choosing appropriate comparator groups, and potential sources of bias they do and do not account for. We use a clinical example of hormone replacement therapy and the risk of coronary heart disease to illustrate practical considerations surrounding the application of the three designs presented.

AbstractA 12‐year‐old male domestic cat with multiple subcutaneous mast cell tumours (MCTs) presented with a 2‐week history of pruritus and raw/bleeding skin from self‐trauma at Kagoshima University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histopathological analyses revealed intertumoral heterogeneity among tumour locations based on the mutation status of KIT. In addition, the expression pattern of KIT was characterized. After failed treatment with vinblastine (2.0–2.2 mg/m2, intravenous administration, two doses in total) or nimustine (25 mg/m2, intravenous administration, two doses in total), toceranib (2.2–2.6 mg/kg, orally administered, every other day) was administered to treat recurrent MCTs harbouring the KIT exon eight internal tandem duplication mutation, achieving a complete response. However, toceranib resistance developed 2 months after treatment initiation. Subsequent PCR analysis was conducted to identify the mutational status of KIT in each MCT and to detect the presence of secondary mutations associated with the acquisition of toceranib resistance. Secondary KIT mutations (c.998G>C and c.2383G>C), which were not initially detected in tumour cells at diagnosis, were identified after the development of resistance to toceranib. This indicates that the tumour cells in feline MCTs in the same case have diverse characteristics. Our findings encourage further investigation into the development of therapeutic strategies for feline MCTs, particularly focusing on the heterogeneous nature of KIT/KIT and overcoming acquired resistance to toceranib.
