CADORmed is a free bespoke Excel® tool for committed effective dose assessment using latest dose coefficients from ICRP OIR publications. The field of application of CADORmed is special monitoring, and it is not available for the dose assessment of chronic exposure. Calculations are made according to EURADOS guidelines and principles (EURADOS report 2013-1). The Chi-squared test for the goodness of fit is made with a scattering factor for type A and type B errors according to the EURADOS report. The Intake is calculated with the maximum likelihood method. Measurements that are below the detection limit are incorporated by the use of an allocated value equal to one-half or one-quarter of the detection limit. The Identification of rogue data can easily be achieved. Advanced options may also be used: mixed ingestion and inhalation, mixture of default absorption types, correction for DTPA treatment, calculation with a new intake and adjustment when the date of intake are unknown. The validation of the tool has been included in the work plan of EURADOS WG 7. The validation plan has been defined and the validation tests completed. All changes are traced in a Quality Assurance document.

Introduction: The aim of the observational SIMPLE study was to assess real-life effectiveness and safety of a single-pill combination (SPC) of perindopril arginine/amlodipine in a broad range of subjects with newly diagnosed mild-to-moderate hypertension treated in Canadian general practice.

Methods: Treatment-naïve participants aged 18-65 years with mild-to-moderate hypertension, whose physicians decided to initiate the perindopril/amlodipine SPC, were recruited from Canadian clinical practice from October 2017 to February 2019. Participants were followed at 3- (M3) and 6-month (M6) visits after treatment initiation.

Glimepiride (GLM) is one of the potential antidiabetic drugs used in clinics for a long time. It is currently used in combination with metformin along with other drugs, but has shown various complications in patients from long-term use. Thus, the hypothesis is to use a lower dose of GLM with a non-toxic class of flavonoid, naringin (NARN), for better therapy with minimal side-effects.

The complexity of the currently registered dosing schedules for bedaquiline and delamanid is a barrier to uptake in drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment across all ages. A simpler once-daily dosing schedule is critical to ensure patient-friendly regimens with good adherence. We assessed expected drug exposures with proposed once-daily doses for adults and compared novel model-informed once-daily dosing strategies for children with current World Health Organization (WHO) recommended dosing.
