Unlabelled: Predictors of patients' willingness to pay for inhaled insulin are unknown. This study found patients with higher annual household income and those who were dissatisfied with their current insulin therapy were willing to pay for inhaled products.
Background: Not all diabetes patients are receptive to taking injectable insulin and may therefore be noncompliant.
Objective: To evaluate, characterize, compare, and critique trials reporting increased tumor progression in patients with cancer who are receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) that led to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) actions for black box warnings and labeling changes.
Data Sources: Literature was accessed through MEDLINE (1950-August 2008) and PubMed (1975-August 2008) using the search terms recombinant erythropoietin, darbepoetin, epoetin, anemia, neoplasms, and disease progression.
