primary physician :: Article Creator Primary Care In Crisis: A Physician's Take On Reform Source: Imtmphoto/Shutterstock This blog reviews how the role of primary care practice has diminished greatly over the past 40 years. When I became a physician in the 1980's primary care medicine entailed a physician specializing in pediatrics, family medicine, or internal medicine who served as the main point of contact for a panel of patients. The primary care physician evaluated patients for their annual check-ups, monitored patients with chronic conditions, and was also available for same-day or same-week visits when someone was sick. The primary care physician was able to address more than 90% of the care of sick patients in their clinic, and occasionally would refer patients for evaluation by a specialist.

€7.34m for cancer vaccine developer - European Biotechnology

-

Having secured a €2.785m grant from the EU and €4.55m from a Series B round, MaxiVAX is going full steam ahead with its Phase II cancer vaccine programmes.

Private clinical-stage biotech MaxiVAX announced that it has been awarded a European Commission grant of €2,785,000, thanks to the Horizon 2020 EIC Accelerator Programme. In addition, the company successfully closed a Series B2 round of CHF5m (€4.55m). Founded by the father and son team Bernard and Nicholas Mach, the Geneva-based biotech is focused on developing personalized anti-cancer vaccination.

MaxiVAX will use the funds to support the clinical development programmes which include the multi-centric efficacy Phase II trial for advanced, refractory head and neck cancers that is currently ongoing in Switzerland. The company will also start preparations for an international Phase II clinical study in a yet to be disclosed rare cancer indication, for which the FDA accepted the Investigational New Drug application in July 2018. The new funds will also be used to scale up production of the company’s lead compound, MVX-ONCO-1. MVX-ONCO-1 is the first personalised cell-based cancer immunotherapy using encapsulation cell technology. Therapy is individualised and can be applied to any cancer type.

“This important and welcome funding now enables us to move forward and accelerate our clinical programmes in Switzerland, Europe and the US,” commented MaxiVAX CEo Dimitrios Goundis. “We are encouraged by the progress in our ongoing Head & Neck Phase 2 trial, and look forward to its completion in 2021.”

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
