Follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 positive subgroup from the Asymptomatic novel CORonavirus iNFection study.

A nested longitudinal study within theAsymptomatic novel CORonavirus iNFfection study followed participants with positive nasopharyngeal swab to query for development of symptoms and assess duration of positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results. Of the 91 participants initially testing positive, 86 participated in follow-up approximately 14 days after study enrollment; of those 86 participants, 19 (22.1%) developed at least one symptom at any time after the initial positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test result.

A cross-sectional community-based observational study of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in the greater Indianapolis area.

The Asymptomatic novel CORonavirus iNfection (ACORN) study was designed to investigate the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the asymptomatic adult population of the Indianapolis metropolitan area, to follow individuals testing positive for the development of symptoms, and to understand duration of positive test results. ACORN is a cross-sectional community-based observational study of adult residents presenting asymptomatic for COVID-like illness, defined as the self-reported absence of the following three symptoms in the last 7 days: fever (≥100°F), new-onset or worsening cough, and new-onset or worsening shortness of breath. SARS-CoV-2 infection was determined by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in nasopharyngeal swab samples.

Restricted mean survival time for the analysis of cardiovascular outcome trials assessing non-inferiority: Case studies from antihyperglycemic drug development.

Cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have been employed in multiple therapeutic areas to explore whether a noncardiovascular drug increases the risk for cardiovascular events. These studies are now a central part of drug development programs for antihyperglycemic drugs. These programs are expected to demonstrate that new antihyperglycemic drugs for patients with Type 2 diabetes do not have unacceptable cardiovascular risk.

Perspectives on Some Controversies in Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment in the Pharmaceutical Development of Glucose-Lowering Medications.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance on requirements to assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk with drugs being developed for approval for clinical use.

A clinical utility index for selecting an optimal insulin dosing algorithm for LY2605541 in patients with type 2 diabetes pretreated with basal insulin.

Background: Because insulin dosing requires optimization of glycemic control, it is important to use a single metric of benefit and risk to determine best insulin dosing practices. We retrospectively applied a multiplicative clinical utility index (CUI) to a study of LY2605541 (Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, IN), a novel, long-acting basal insulin.

Materials And Methods: A CUI was developed to transform the multidimensional problem of assessing benefit/risk of multiple dosing algorithms into a single decision-making metric to evaluate two LY2605541 dosing algorithms relative to the insulin glargine (GL) dosing algorithm.
