Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.6K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Loading and Maintenance Doses

87
A loading dose is an essential pharmacological strategy to rapidly achieve the target plasma drug concentration necessary for an immediate therapeutic effect. This approach is especially critical for drugs characterized by slow absorption or extended half-lives, where delaying therapeutic plasma levels could compromise treatment outcomes. By administering a loading dose, clinicians ensure a prompt onset of drug action, even for agents with complex pharmacokinetic profiles.Achieving steady-state...

Drug Accumulation During Multiple Dosing: Repetitive IV Injections

116
Calculating drug dosage and accumulation in multiple-dose regimens is crucial for achieving therapeutic efficacy while avoiding toxicity. This involves determining the plasma drug concentrations over time to optimize dosing schedules. The principle of superposition is fundamental in this process, allowing for the prediction of drug concentration in plasma following multiple doses based on single-dose data.The principle of superposition asserts that the plasma concentration-time curves from...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Automation
  • Healthcare Operations Research
  • Oncology Drug Compounding

Background:

  • Automated compounding systems are increasingly used in hospital pharmacies.
  • The KIRO Oncology robot is one such system aimed at improving efficiency.
  • Understanding factors affecting its productivity is crucial for optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the productivity of the KIRO Oncology compounding robot across three hospital pharmacy departments.
  • To identify key factors that predict and optimize automatic compounding time.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of robotic compounding cycles (August 2017-July 2018) from three hospitals.
  • Evaluation of nine cycle-specific parameters and five productivity indicators.
  • Correlation analysis and development of a validated multiple regression model to predict compounding time.

Main Results:

  • A total of 2795 cycles (16367 preparations) were analyzed.
  • Automatic compounding time positively correlated with the number of preparations, vials, and total volume per cycle.
  • The predictive model demonstrated high accuracy (R²: 0.81, 0.79, 0.72) for cycles under 40 minutes.

Conclusions:

  • Hospital workflow variations significantly impact automated compounding productivity.
  • Total volume of preparations within a cycle is a major determinant of compounding time.
  • Predictive algorithms can assist in planning and optimizing robotic compounding cycles.
