Virological and genetic characteristics of human respiratory syncytial viruses isolated in Russia, 2017-2018 by Elena Alexandrovna Prokopyeva, Olga Grigoryevna Kurskaya, Mariya Vladimirovna Solomatina, Ivan Andreevich Sobolev, Tereza Araevna Saroyan, Nikita Artemyevich Dubovitskiy, Anastasiya Alexandrovna Derko, Peter Mikchailovich Kozhin, Tatyana Yurievna Alikina, Marsel Rasimovich Kabilov, Alexander Mikchailovich Shestopalov, Kirill Alexandrovich Sharshov

“…The genetic analysis revealed that the manners of isolation by using monolayer or suspension and subsequent RDE treatment did not influence the nucleotide and amino acid structures of obtained HRSVs. The CPE characteristics of obtained viruses were the same in HeLa, HEp-2, and Vero cell cultures, and were described as large syncytium up to 150 microns or more in size with the nuclei peripheral location and an optically bright zone in the center of the formation. …”

Challenges and lessons learned from a long-term postauthorisation safety study programme of rivaroxaban in Europe by Luis Alberto García Rodríguez, Montse Soriano-Gabarró, Pareen Vora, Yanina Balabanova, Gunnar Brobert, Kiliana Suzart-Woischnik, Ana Ruigomez, Leif Friberg, Ron Herings, Karin M A Swart, Tania Schink, Elisabeth Smits, Annemarie Voss, Christine Tarenz, Martin Homering, Tomasz Dyszynski, Gerd Nagel, Pablo Amaya

“…Objectives To describe opportunities and challenges experienced from the four pharmacoepidemiological database studies included in the rivaroxaban post authorisation safety study (PASS) programme and propose ways to maximise the value of population-based observational research when addressing regulatory requirements.Design PASS programme of rivaroxaban carried out as part of the regulatory postapproval commitment to the European Medicines Agency.Setting Clinical practice in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK (electronic health records)—undertaken by pharmacoepidemiology research teams using country-specific databases with different coding structures.Participants 355 152 patients prescribed rivaroxaban and 338 199 patients prescribed vitamin K antagonists.Results Two major challenges that were encountered throughout the lengthy PASS programme were related to: (1) finalising country-tailored study designs before the extent of rivaroxaban uptake was known, and (2) new research questions that arose during the programme (eg, those relating to an evolving prescribing landscape).Recommendations We advocate the following strategies to help address these major challenges (should they arise in any future PASS): conducting studies based on a common data model that enable the same analytical tools to be applied when using different databases; maintaining early, clear, continuous communication with the regulator (including discussing the potential benefit of studying drug use as a precursor to planning a safety study); consideration of adaptive designs whenever uncertainty exists and following an initial period of data collection; and setting milestones for the review of study objectives.…”
