Nine of these 12 patients harbored aneurysms that were large, incompletely treated, or both. A total of 2 anterior circulation, small, completely coiled aneurysms subsequently ruptured. The long-term rupture rate per 100 patient-year for unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with endovascular therapy was 0.48 (95% CI, 0.45-0.51). Retreatment was carried out in 236 (4.9%) of these 4842 patients. Limitations A limitation of the study is that a lack of systematic nature of follow-up and mean follow-up duration of 3.2 years are not sufficient to make general recommendations about aneurysm followup paradigms. Conclusions Given a 5% retreatment rate, postcoil embolization spontaneous rupture of previously unruptured, small- and medium-sized, well-treated aneurysms is exceedingly rare.Background and purpose Treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms using endovascular therapy is still challenging even with the development of treatment devices. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with a Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. Materials and methods All patients treated with a WEB device at our institution between May 2009 and November 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical and imaging evaluation, aneurysm occlusion status, and modified Rankin scale score were analyzed 1 day after treatment and in the short- (24 months) follow-up periods. Results Forty-one cases of wide-neck aneurysms were analyzed in this study.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/BIBF1120.html  Overall, 78.8% of the aneurysms had complete occlusion in the last follow-up, and 19.5% required retreatment with additional endovascular devices. A good clinical outcome (modified Rankin scale 0-2) was obtained in 95.1% of the patients, and the overall treatment-related morbidity and mortality rates were 2.4% and 0.0%, respectively. The mean follow-up time was 15.3 ± 13.5 months. Conclusions The results obtained in this study suggest that treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms with a WEB device is feasible with an acceptable safety and efficacy rate.The National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) piloted a forum to encourage an exchange of information between the biopharmaceutical industry and the FDA. To facilitate this exchange, NIIMBL conducted a survey of industry representatives around the perceived challenges associated with the adoption of new innovative technologies for biopharmaceutical manufacturing or for continuous improvement and then held an Active Listening session with industry and FDA stakeholders to share common themes. The scope was limited to biotechnology products regulated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). This manner of exchange has not been tested before and led to meaningful dialog between industry and the Agency and valuable takeaways by all involved. One of the general findings and key points of discussion was around the perceived lack of a business case for adoption of new technology in the manufacture of monoclonal antibodies and therapeutic proteins. Tight timelines were the primary constraints for hesitation around pre-approval implementation and the challenges associated with a global regulatory environment was the primary constraint around post-approval adoption of new technology. Mechanisms that would allow industry and regulatory scientists to develop a shared understanding of new technologies, outside of formal applications, could de-risk adoption of new technologies by the industry. The favorable response to this NIIMBL-facilitated exchange suggests that this format could be useful in establishing a more informal dialog between the FDA and industry on industry-wide challenges.Pre-use/Post sterilization integrity testing (PUPSIT) has been a widely debated topic for the last several years. To a large extent, the debate is due to the fact that scientific data were not available to provide additional clarity that could inform appropriate risk-based judgements and commensurate actions. To gain clarity, PDA and BioPhorum formed the Sterile Filtration Quality Risk Management (SFQRM) consortium late 2017. The consortium goals have been to fill existing gaps in scientific data as adequately as possible with studies and industry guidance that would provide professionals and license holders with the ability to make informed decisions about appropriate risk management strategies. This paper is one in a series of publications that are the result of the collaboration, and these should be considered together and viewed holistically in order to determine the best course of action with regard to PUPSIT. In total, the four papers cover the following areas • Data-mining to determine the influence ofo for any membrane type was 1.33. A BP ratio equal to or higher than this ratio of minimum specifications, was considered a risk for masking, because it is the lowest ratio that could make a 0.45 micron filter appear to meet the specifications of a 0.2 micron filter. Out of 518 average BP ratios, only 8 fluids (1.5%) produced BP ratios high enough to meet this criterion for a masking risk. Potential risk factors associated with these cases are identified and discussed. We conclude that filtration processes producing bubble point changes sufficient to present a risk of masking defects are not common, and detectable during the routine BCT. Thus the BP ratios observed during routine bacterial retention testing is one means to assess the potential of a given filtration process for masking of defects and can be considered when determining whether a PUPSIT should be implemented.Post-approval changes are inevitable and necessary throughout the life of a drug product-to implement new knowledge, maintain a state of control, and drive continual improvement. Many post-approval changes require regulatory agency approval by individual countries before implementation. Because of the global regulatory complexity, individual post-approval changes usually take years for full worldwide approval even when they reduce patient risk, improve compliance, or enhance the manufacturing process or test methods. This global complexity slows down continual improvement and innovation and can cause drug shortages and current good manufacturing practices compliance issues. Manufacturers that market products globally experience the greatest challenge and risks in their daily operations because of this post-approval change complexity. A global problem needs a global solution.
