Embarking on a systematic literature review is a critical step in evidence synthesis, providing a foundation for robust decision-making in the healthcare landscape. As with most things, there are ways to cut corners on systematic reviews. Sometimes there are true efficiencies to be made. Yet, all compromises have consequences. In this article, we delve into 11 common problems that may arise when cost-cutting compromises the quality of your systematic literature review.
1. Choosing the wrong type of systematic review methodology Selecting the wrong type of methodology for your review can have profound implications. A robust, gold standard Cochrane methodology involves two reviewers at all stages of the review, to avoid bias in the identification and presentation of the evidence, and ensur…
Specialised commissioning continues to be an issue of significance and uncertainty for both the NHS and industry. What do the latest reports of regional push back on the plans for devolution to Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) mean? Learn more about our upcoming webinar here.
For the past 2 years, Pharma, Medtech, and Diagnostic companies have identified the delegation of specialised commissioning to the new Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) as a key risk to their UK market access strategies. With its importance to income and the high risk of change devolution seems to promise, specialised commissioning is an obvious issue for providers of these products to place at the top of their risk logs. The devolution plans are also a risk for the NHS. Not least, because around two-thirds of the income of a…

Maria Dimitrova (Consultant – HTA) and Samantha Gillard (Director – HTA) provide an overview of the EU Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) and what it means for Pharma and Medical Device manufacturers launching new technologies from 2025.
What is the EU JCA? In January 2022, the European Parliament enacted a new EU Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Regulation, with the aim of standardising clinical assessment of medicines and high-risk medical devices across the EU and avoiding duplication of work. Currently, Pharma and Medtech manufacturers have to submit evidence individually in each of the 27 EU markets; the intention of the JCA is that at least some of the assessment can be done centrally. The JCA report will act as a universal information source for relative treatment effects, safety…
DLL3 (DELTA-LIKE Protein 3) is encoded by the human gene and belongs to the Delta-Like protein family. It is a transmembrane protein involved in cell signaling, cell fate determination, and cell differentiation. The Delta-Like protein family comprises ligands that interact with NOTCH receptors, crucial for cell development and differentiation. DLL3 plays a pivotal role in neurogenesis, contributing to the generation of neurons during embryonic development. DLL3 has garnered significant interest in cancer research, particularly in certain types of cancer. Elevated DLL3 expression has been detected in some small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other neuroendocrine tumors. As a result, targeted treatment approaches have been developed to inhibit DLL3, providing a potential treatment strategy for these aggressive cancers.
The biotech industry is a large and growing field with many opportunities for those who want to pursue it professionally.

Medicines are becoming ever more complex in response to growth in personalised treatments and the development of a wide range of therapeutics to address less common conditions or rare diseases
by Kelly Doering, Sr Director, Industry Marketing, Pharma, AspenTech Medicines are becoming ever more complex in response to growth in personalised treatments and the development of a wide range of therapeutics to address less common conditions or rare diseases. Examples of the latter include small molecules linked to large, perhaps conjugated to a chemotoxic agent for targeted cancer treatment; peptides linked to peptides; oligos linked to molecules that allow for better cell permeability; and lipid-encapsulated molecules that prevent degradation. But it is the market for more personalised medication…

Data-sharing is crucial for any supply chain activity. But for drug manufacturing and the pharmaceutical sector, it has to be top-notch because the process is multi-layered and complicated. Considering the DSCSA guidance with the aim to combat circulation of counterfeit medicines, information-sharing in this particular sector should not just be streamlined but also be fast and secured. While error-free serialization is a pre-requisite for pharmaceutical track and trace under DSCSA compliance norms, the information in the form of data encryption is a mandate to increase the efficiency and security of the pharmaceutical supply chain.
