Rituximab (RTX) is a monoclonal antibody that targets CD20 and is recommended by the KDIGO guidelines as a first-line treatment for membranous nephropathy (MN). The RTX biosimilar (HLX01) was the first biosimilar licensed in China in 2019. However, its efficacy and safety for MN treatment remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the RTX biosimilar for MN in a real-world setting. In this study, the medical records of 201 MN inpatients treated with high-dose RTX biosimilar and followed up for one year from January 2020 to December 2022 at PUMCH were retrospectively collected. Efficacy was evaluated in accordance with the KDIGO guidelines. Adverse reactions recorded in medical records during or after infusion were collected. During the one-year follow-up period, the overall remission rate of high-dose RTX biosimilar treatment for MN was 75.12
BACKGROUND:This study aimed to evaluate the steady-state plasma concentration, efficacy, and safety of bictegravir (BIC) in Chinese people with HIV (PWH) receiving BIC-based therapy for at least 6 months. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:PWH on BIC-based regimens for at least 6 months were enrolled. Plasma BIC concentrations, viral loads, CD4+ T cell counts, weight, renal and hepatic function, and adverse reactions were assessed. RESULTS:A total of 192 subjects were included. Geometric mean Cmax was 8.00 μg/mL and Cτ was 3.34 μg/mL, higher than in African and Caucasian populations. For treatment-naïve PWH, viral load < 50 copies/mL increased from 81% at 6 months to 98% at 12 months. For treatment-experienced PWH, the proportion was 90% at baseline and 98% at both 6 and 12 months. Weight increased by 5% and 7% in treatment-naïve PWH at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Renal and hepatic function remained normal, and mild adverse reactions were reported in 14 subjects (11.4%). CONCLUSIONS:BIC's steady-state plasma concentrations in Chinese PWH were higher than those in other ethnic groups, with good efficacy and safety.
Background: To establish a method for determining the bictegravir (BIC) concentration in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detection. Methods: The analysis was performed on a CLC-octadecylsilane column (150 × 6.0 mm, 5 μm) using a mixture of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile (62:38, v/v) as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.4 mL/min. The column temperature was maintained at 40°C. Using triamcinolone acetonide as the internal standard, 100 μL of plasma sample was extracted by methyl tert-butyl ether, followed by evaporating under nitrogen stream, redissolving with 100 μL mobile phase, and injection of 20–40 μL of supernatant into the chromatographic system. Ultraviolet detection was performed at 260 nm, and the total run time for each sample was 14 minutes. Results: The method exhibited good linearity within the range from 0.10 to 10.0 mcg/mL (r = 0.9995, n = 5). The intraday and interday relative standard deviations for low-, medium-, and high-concentration quality control samples (0.20, 4.00, 8.00 mcg/mL) and the lower limit of quantification (0.10 mcg/mL) were 1.31%–6.20% (n = 10) and 1.18%–2.87% (n = 5), respectively. The intraday and interday accuracies were 100.53%–102.32% and 97.96%–103.84%, respectively. The extraction recovery rates ranged from 80.00% to 88.09% (n = 3). The stability tests showed that the BIC concentration changed by <15%. Conclusions: This study successfully established a high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detection method for determining plasma BIC concentrations. This method is simple, selective, sensitive, and accurate, making it suitable for clinical monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies of BIC.
Dolutegravir (DTG) has been the first-line drug in many human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) guidelines for the treatment of naïve and experienced HIV-infected individuals, which calls for cost-effective and convenient methods for quantitative detection of DTG in human plasma for pharmacokinetic studies and patient adherence evaluation. Here, an HPLC-ultraviolet method in combination with liquid-liquid extraction with isocratic elution was developed for the first time. The analysis was performed on a CLC-ODS column (6 mm internal diameter × 15 cm, 5 μm) using a mixture of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (40:60, v/v) as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. Using triamcinolone as the internal standard, 100 μL of plasma sample was extracted by methyl tert-butyl ether, followed by evaporating under nitrogen stream, re-dissolving with 100 μL mobile phase, and injection of 20-40 μL of supernatant into the chromatographic system. The linearity of DTG was good in the range of 0.05-10 μg/mL (r = 0.9995), and the inter- and intra-day variabilities were 0.4%-4.3% (n = 10) and 1.2%-6.2% (n = 10) for the lower limit of quantification, low-, medium-, and high-concentration quality control samples (0.05, 0.1, 0.8, and 8 μg/mL), respectively, while the methodological and extraction recoveries were 98.0%-103.0% (n = 20) and 65.2%-75.7% (n = 3), respectively. This method was successfully applied to analyze DTG plasma concentration in 84 Chinese patients with HIV.

Abstract Background Generic medicines substitution is an important means to control rapid growth of pharmaceutical expenditures for the healthcare system in China. Acceptance and utilization of generic medicines is highly influenced by healthcare providers’ perceptions. This study aimed to compare the knowledge, awareness and perceptions of generic medicines between physicians and pharmacists in China. Methods We used an online, cross-sectional survey across China. The questionnaire explored four sections: demographic characteristics, assessment of the participants’ knowledge and awareness of generic medicines, perceptions of generic medicines and generic substitution practices. Chi-square or Mann–Whitney-U tests were applied to compare differences between physicians and pharmacists. P-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results A total of 1644 physicians and 4187 pharmacists participated. Most physicians (82.8%, n = 1362) and pharmacists (89.8%, n = 3760) correctly identified the definition of generic medicines. A similar percentage of physicians and pharmacists agreed that approved generic medicines are as effective (64.1% vs 68.2%) or safe (63.8% vs 69.1%) as brand-name medicines. Most physicians and pharmacists (67.6% vs 71.0%) supported the policy of generic substitution. In practice, 79.4% (n = 1305) of physicians reported that they had prescribed generic medicines. More than 78% of respondents reported an obvious increase in the number of generic medicines prescribed in their medical institutions. The majority of physicians and pharmacists identified lack of trust regarding efficacy and safety of generic medicines and the difficulty of changing patients’ preference as top challenges in generic substitution. Conclusions Both physicians and pharmacists surveyed had adequate knowledge of generic medicines, and hold positive attitude towards generics and generic substitution. Efficacy and safety are key factors related to prescribing or dispensing generic medicines. Various policies and regulations should be taken to encourage successful generic substitution.
Objective To design a safety management system for antitumor drugs, which can intercept or warn the overdose of medical orders from the prescription source, and ensure the safety of clinical application of antitumor drugs. Methods The threshold of interception and warning strategy of 88 kinds of antitumor drugs were developed, and the safety management system of antitumor drugs was established to intercept or warn the overdose orders. The interception and warning data from January 2021 to June 2021 in the safety management system of antitumor drugs were extracted and analyzed. Results A total of 665 medical orders were intercepted or warned by the safety management system of antitumor drugs, and the majority of the intercepted or warned drugs were oral tablets(74.29%). The intercepted orders were 642 (96.54%), and the warned orders were 23(3.46%). Among the intercepted medical orders, frequency error (64.22%) has the highest proportion, followed by route error (11.73%) and dose error (9.92%). A total of 564 medical orders were intercepted, involving 28 kinds of antitumor drugs. Methotrexate tablets ranked first in overdose quantity, with an average of seven times. Pemetrexed ranked first in overdose multiples, with an average overdose of 1000 times. 78 medical orders were intercepted for over pathway, involving 5 kinds of antitumor drugs. Conclusion The safety management system of antitumor drugs can eliminate the error of overdose in prescription and guarantee the safety of antitumor drugs.

Objective To investigate the clinical use of 17 antineoplastic drugs passing national medical insurance negotiation in one hospital before and after the implementation of national policies about promoting the inclusion of antineoplastic drugs in health insurance. To provide reference for the optimization and adjustment of hospital catalogue. Methods The prescription data of 17 antineoplastic drugs of outpatients and inpatients in our hospital from 2018 to 2019 were collected. The basic information of patients, the usage amount and cost, defined daily doses (DDDs), and defined daily cost (DDC) were analyzed. Results The 17 antineoplastic drugs were mainly used for thorax, hematologic malignancies and urinary tract tumors. The top three antineoplastic drugs in terms of cost were osimertinib, octreotide acetate microspheres and crizotinib, with good synchronization between cost and frequency of usage. The top three drugs in terms of DDC were vemurafenib, cetuximab and ibrutinib. The proportions of the cost of 17 antineoplastic drugs to that of all antineoplastic drugs and all formulary drugs in our hospital were 16.3% and 3.8%, respectively. Among them, the total cost of the six drugs which had already been included in the formulary of our hospital before the policy implementation increased by 78.2% in 2019 compared with that in 2018. After the implementation of national policies, the quantity and cost of osimertinib increased significantly, and the drugs with increased quantity but decreased cost were cetuximab, axitinib, and sunitinib in sequence. The quantity and cost of pegaspargase both decreased significantly. Conclusions The national health insurance negotiation policy promoted the use of 17 antineoplastic drugs in our hospital and improved the accessibility of these drugs to patients significantly. At the same time, the total cost of the involved drugs had a sharp rise. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and dynamic evaluation of the clinical application of related drugs, so as to promote rational drug use while meeting patients' need.

Objective To evaluate pharmacists’ knowledge, perceptions and practices towards generic substitution in the 11 pilot locations in China. Design An online cross-sectional survey using questionnaires was conducted. A convenience sampling technique was implemented to recruit pharmacists. Setting and participants The study took place in medical institutions of 11 pilot locations that participated in the pilot national centralised procurement programme in 2019. Two thousand two hundred and ninety-one pharmacists including hospital pharmacists or community pharmacists based on health-systems or clinics participated in the study. Results Most of the participants had the good knowledge of requirements for evaluating the quality and efficacy of generic drugs (n=2118; 92.4%), and the definition of generic drugs (n=2078; 90.7%). In terms of perceptions, 67.3% of respondents were of the opinion that generic drugs are equally as effective as the brand-name drugs, and 69.0% of respondents were of the opinion that generic drugs are as safe as brand equivalents. A high percentage of participants supported the policy of generic substitution (n=1634; 71.4%). A significant positive correlation was demonstrated between total knowledge score and total perception score (ρ=0.267; p<0.001). Efficacy, safety and the direction of national policies and hospital regulations were the main factors affecting pharmacists’ willingness to dispense generic drugs. Conclusions The study identified gaps in respondents’ knowledge and perceptions of generic substitution. Pharmacists who are more knowledgeable in generic drugs tend to hold a more supportive attitude towards generic substitution. Although it appeared that pharmacists in China have largely accepted generic substitution, they still have concerns regarding the reliability and quality of generic drugs. The current issues need to be addressed for the realisation of the true value of generic drugs as part of the country’s healthcare cost-containment strategy as well as the implementation of generic substitution policy in China.
