A sensitive, specific and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma. Plasma samples were prepared using protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the two analytes and the internal standard losartan were separated on a reverse phase C(18) column (50mmx4mm, 3microm) using water with 2.5% formic acid, methanol and acetonitrile (40:45:15, v/v/v (%)) as a mobile phase (flow rate of 0.70mL/min). Irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide were ionized using ESI source in negative ion mode, prior to detection by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode while monitoring at the following transitions: m/z 296-->269 and m/z 296-->205 for hydrochlorothiazide, 427-->175 for irbesartan. Linearity was demonstrated over the concentration range 0.06-6.00microg/mL for irbesartan and 1.00-112.00ng/mL for hydrochlorothiazide. The developed and validated method was successfully applied to a bioequivalence study of irbesartan (300mg) with hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg) tablet in healthy volunteers (N=36).

A novel idea is introduced regarding the statistical comparisons of endpoints in clinical trials. Currently, the (dis)similarity of measured endpoints is not assessed. Instead, statistical analysis is directly applied, which can lead to multiplicity issues, reduced statistical power, and the recruitment of more subjects.

Changing the vision, understanding, interpretation and analysis of certain data or scientific dilemmas is what is able to change the status quo and revitalize a mission, an impulse or important thoughts, thus creating the conditions for it to increase immensely the chances of bringing it to success. Or, following Albert Einstein's postulate: ˝We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them˝, we should think: ˝Where does the road to success start? How do we solve or neutralize a problem? ˝ And the answer is: ˝ By taking a consistent and systematic approach, analyzing each component! And we eliminate every possibility of negative influence.˝ These thoughts apply with full force to cancer rates in general, but also to melanoma rates in particular: the murderous tempo of globalization and modernization in medicine has not yet led to the desired decrease in these rates; on the contrary, they are rising headlong and remain largely unpredictable and difficult to regulate.
