Antimicrobial use (AMU) contributes to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, necessitating antimicrobial stewardship actions across all sectors using a One Health approach to preserve antimicrobial effectiveness. This overview delves into 2 FDA-funded projects focused on collecting and analyzing AMU data in major food-producing animal species (cattle, swine, turkeys, and chickens). Initiated in 2016, the projects aimed to establish baseline AMU information and pilot methodologies.

Background: New drugs targeting antimicrobial resistant pathogens, including , have been challenging to evaluate in clinical trials, particularly for the non-ventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia indications. Development of new antibacterial drugs is facilitated by preclinical animal models that could predict clinical efficacy in patients with these infections.
Methods: We report here an FDA-funded study to develop a rabbit model of non-ventilated pneumonia with by determining the extent to which the natural history of animal disease reproduced human pathophysiology and conducting validation studies to evaluate whether humanized dosing regimens of two antibiotics, meropenem and tobramycin, can halt or reverse disease progression.

Introduction: The COPD Biomarkers Qualification Consortium (CBQC) was formed under COPD Foundation management, with the goal of qualifying biomarkers and clinical outcome assessments through established regulatory processes for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Within CBQC, a working group evaluated opportunities for qualification of an exercise endurance measure. In a recent publication ( 2022; 9[2]:252-265), we described a conceptual framework establishing exercise endurance's direct relationship to an individual with COPD's experience of physical functioning in daily life, and that increase in exercise endurance is a patient-centered, meaningful treatment benefit.

Rare diseases impact the lives of an estimated 350 million people worldwide, and yet about 90% of rare diseases remain without an approved treatment. New technologies have become available, such as gene and oligonucleotide therapies, that offer great promise in treating rare diseases. However, progress toward the development of therapies to treat these diseases is hampered by a limited understanding of the course of each rare disease, how changes in disease progression occur and can be effectively measured over time, and challenges in designing and running clinical trials in diseases where the natural history is poorly characterized.
