  • Pharmacist recommended!

    By far one of the most informative and worthwhile podcasts for every pharmacist (and also other healthcare professionals) to give a listen to. I love the reviews of current best practices mixed with new and upcoming evidence based practices.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#142 – Does oseltamivir harm critically ill patients? The REMAP-CAP results
Q: What did the 90-day mortality data show for Oseltamivir vs no antiviral?
Oseltamivir for 5 or 10 days did not reduce 90-day mortality and showed a higher adjusted odds of death compared with no antiviral, suggesting possible harm rather than benefit in this critically ill population.
#142 – Does oseltamivir harm critically ill patients? The REMAP-CAP results
Q: What were the primary endpoints and key secondary outcomes?
The primary endpoint was 90-day all-cause mortality; key secondary outcomes included days free of organ support, ICU/hospital length of stay, and safety events, with a focus on how treatment effects translate into mortality and organ support needs.
#142 – Does oseltamivir harm critically ill patients? The REMAP-CAP results
Q: What is REMAP-CAP and how does it work in the influenza domain?
REMAP-CAP is a global, multi-domain Bayesian adaptive platform trial that tests several treatments simultaneously; it can randomize a patient to more than one question and uses predefined triggers to stop arms for futility or inferiority, enabling efficient evaluation of therapies in critical illness.
#136 – GAS, Streptococcus pyogenes: Call It What You Want, It’s Got a Big Reputation
Q: What is STRAP and what questions does it aim to answer?
STRAP is a Streptococcal Adaptive Platform Trial designed to evaluate definitive therapies for invasive GAS disease across domains (backbone antibiotics, adjunctive antibiotics like clindamycin or linezolid, and IVIG for severe cases) with a mortality and day-30 alive outcome to determine optimal treatment regimens.
#136 – GAS, Streptococcus pyogenes: Call It What You Want, It’s Got a Big Reputation
Q: Why has developing a vaccine for Group A Streptococcus been so challenging?
The organism lacks a capsule, has a hyaluronan capsule that defeats simple capsule-based vaccines, expresses multiple virulence factors, and over 100 M types mean a single-target vaccine would be insufficient; thus, multi-antigen strategies and consideration of surface proteins like M proteins are being explored, with safety concerns about autoimmunity historically limiting progress.
