Adaptive licensing: taking the next step in the evolution of drug approval.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional drug licensing approaches are based on binary decisions. At the moment of licensing, an experimental therapy is presumptively transformed into a fully vetted, safe, efficacious therapy. By contrast, adaptive licensing (AL) approaches are based on stepwise learning under conditions of acknowledged uncertainty, with iterative phases of data gathering and regulatory evaluation. This approach allows approval to align more closely with patient needs for timely access to new technologies and for data to inform medical decisions. The concept of AL embraces a range of perspectives. Some see AL as an evolutionary step, extending elements that are now in place. Others envision a transformative framework that may require legislative action before implementation. This article summarizes recent AL proposals; discusses how proposals might be translated into practice, with illustrations in different therapeutic areas; and identifies unresolved issues to inform decisions on the design and implementation of AL.

An Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
متن کاملTuning of Extended Kalman Filter using Self-adaptive Differential Evolution Algorithm for Sensorless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive
In this paper, a novel method based on a combination of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with Self-adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) algorithm to estimate rotor position, speed and machine states for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is proposed. In the proposed method, as a first step SaDE algorithm is used to tune the noise covariance matrices of state noise and measurement noise i...
متن کاملA Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network
Abstract Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...

Consistent behavior is a behavior in which doing small unethical acts leads their actors to engage in more egregious behaviors over time that is they consistent with the unethical behaviors. This behavior leading accountants to larger fraudulent financial reports and pushing auditors to ignore more professional ethics. On the other hand, unethical behavior for the first time in some pepole can ...
