Treatment for many serious diseases is still inadequate, an issue that is highlighted in the World Health Organization’s Priority Medicines for Europe and the World Report. Taking a closer look at some of the diseases at the top of the WHO’s agenda – from dementia to antibiotic resistance and osteoarthritis – we ask what progress has been made in improving therapeutic standards.
China’s healthcare system is undergoing reform, creating new opportunities for foreign players, but challenges remain in the form of regulatory hurdles, pricing reforms and growing local competition. We take a look inside one of the world’s most rapidly growing pharma markets.
We also find out how GSK is planning to revitalise its product pipeline with a new wave of innovative treatments in areas including HIV, oncology, respiratory medicine and rare diseases, and hear from GlobalData about new findings in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Plus, we take a look at new digital tools for setting up and managing clinical trials, and we speak to University of California researchers about the potential applications for a model they have developed to predict a drug’s side effects on different patients.
