A cloud-based data processing and visualization pipeline for the fibre roll-out in Germany

To support the roll-out of fibre broadband Internet in Germany, Deutsche Telekom has set itself the goal of connecting more than 2.5 million households per year to FTTH (Fibre to the Home). However, planning and approval processes have been very complex and time-consuming in the past due to high communication overhead between stakeholders, missing automation, and lack of information about planning areas. Telekom addresses this problem by collecting large amounts of geospatial data (3D point clouds and 360°panorama images), which can be used to automatically find suitable routes for fibre optic lines, to determine possible locations for distribution cabinets, as well as to build a 3D visualization helping to create detailed plans and to present them to decision makers. This speeds up planning tremendously, but processing this data and creating the visualization in a short time requires automation. In this systems paper, we present a data processing platform that we have built and operated together with Telekom over the course of the last six and a half years. The platform makes use of the cloud to manage Big Data in a scalable and elastic manner. It builds upon research results from us, specifically a scientific workflow management system to automate processing, as well as Fibre3D, a web-based tool that planners can use to display the processed data and to perform fine-planning. Besides the technological aspects, this paper also describes a practical use case that shows how the platform and Fibre3D help Telekom speed up the planning and approval process. We also summarize lessons learned and give recommendations for the design of systems similar to ours. With the presented technology, Telekom has been able to already connect more than 8 million households to FTTH and expects to even improve on this in the future. We consider our collaboration, therefore, an example of how well knowledge and technology transfer between research and industry can work, and, at the same time, what impact it can have on society.

(137) Sealed Vasectomy Procedure Prior Studies and Now Good Laboratory Practices FDA Study: Human, Porcine, Canine and Rabbit Subjects

Abstract Introduction The Sealed Vasectomy Procedure (SVP) is a new bipolar radiofrequency sealing tool for transdermal vasectomy in hopes of making the procedure a faster, simpler, and safer office procedure. Testing has been successful in rabbits with excellent wound healing, complete vas occlusion on histology, and no sperm in post procedural semen analysis. Further studies in larger animals were then done in canine, porcine and human vas deferens that showed good sealing of the vas deferens. FDA-approval are needed before its application in humans. The next step in FDA approval process is a FDA prescribed Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) animal study. Objective Evaluate the effectiveness of the SVP in sealing the vas deferens in rabbit, canine, porcine and in humans. Now presenting the FDA prescribed GLP study. Methods Rabbit studies have been previously described including AUA22 best video award. We preformed microscopic evaluation of the vas deferens tissues from canines treated with the SVP at either 40 or 60 watts, euthanized at 14 days post-treatment under the conditions of this study. Human vas deferens specimens after removal from the patient were then immediately treated with SVP tool on benchtop. Porcine vas deferens samples were procured and underwent benchtop testing. The GLP study was done at Charles River in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The GLP study was on 6 canines: 3 with the outside the skin method and 3 canines with the transdermal method. All were terminal after a period of healing of up to 28 days. Results 9 canine, 6 human, and 20 porcine vas deferens were included in SVP testing. Human, porcine, and canine specimens demonstrated tissue coagulation and fibrosis in the treated vasa deferentia by Pathology. (See Figure 1 Human and 2 Canine) For the FDA GLP prescribed study, all 6 dogs survived and were euthanized at 28 days post-treatment. Pathology for the GLP study was done by Charles River. Conclusions SVP is a potentially exciting novel vasectomy procedure that appears to provide good sealing of the vas deferens in the rabbit & canine animal model and on benchtop for the human & porcine vas deferens. The FDA GLP study is done and awaits FDA submission. FDA-approval is still needed before use in humans. Disclosure Yes, this is sponsored by industry/sponsor: Signati.

‘Meta’ analysis: considerations when using Facebook within research and evaluation studies: a research note

ABSTRACT The use of social media platforms as a means of data collection for researchers is increasing. With the number of active users of Facebook across the globe exceeding two billion, the platform offers a means to reach and hear from diverse populations and gather information-rich data. Despite an increase of researchers utilising Facebook and publishing their findings, there has been less focus on describing the issues researchers need to think about to undertake their work in line with ethical principles, which is particularly important when engaging people in research. This research note provides a worked example of the practical steps adopted when establishing a Facebook Page and Group to recruit and gather data from individuals receiving care and support. The paper offers guidance for researchers on the issues to consider and provides insights into how using Facebook can be aligned with good research governance practice and ethics approval processes.

Risk Management in the LPG Refrigerated Green Terminal Project for Sustainable Development Goals

The LPG Refrigerated Green Terminal Project for Sustainable Development Goals seeks to enhance national stock resilience and reduce reliance on leased refrigerated LPG floating storage by a State-Owned Oil and Gas Company. Various challenges were encountered throughout the project, including resident demonstrations causing schedule disruptions, delays in project design due to client approval processes, and disparities in land data during tendering and implementation phases, among others. This research aims to identify the most critical risk by assessing the number of priority risks and risk categories. Effective risk management is pivotal in achieving project objectives. The methodology employed encompasses Fault Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), a 3D Risk Matrix, and a Pareto Diagram, supplemented by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) software for risk weight determination. The study reveals a minimum Risk Priority Number (RPN) of 6, signifying low-risk severity, infrequent risk occurrence, and the company’s ability to detect these risks. Conversely, the highest RPN is recorded at 36, indicating significant risk severity, frequent risk occurrence, and challenges in risk detection by the company.

Advancing the drug development process in metastatic prostate cancer through machine learning.

192 Background: Despite advances in the development of systemic therapeutics, metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) remains a lethal disease. The drug approval process is slow, and delays in approving active agents translate into lives lost, and increased morbidity for men living with mPC. Clinical benefit end points proximate to survival that could support regulatory approval have been sought. Methods that accelerate the prediction of overall survival (OS) from baseline and short-term clinical data could dramatically accelerate the "readout" timeline for registrational studies. Methods: Curated, anonymized data from 5,679 mPC patients (pts) across six completed clinical trials were used: COU-AA-301, COU-AA302, ACIS, GALAHAD, LATITUDE, and TITAN. These trials comprise heterogeneous pts across castrate sensitive (TITAN, LATITUDE) and castrate resistant (COU-AA-301, COU-AA-302, ACIS, GALAHAD) populations. Transcriptomic profiles of primary tumors were available from a subset of these pts (N = 605) in COU-AA-302, ACIS, TITAN using the DECIPHER platform (Decipher Biosciences, Inc.). We harmonized pts study data and are developing machine learning models in an attempt to predict long term outcomes using baseline clinical features, short term PSA kinetics, and transcriptional profiling data. Associations between clinical and transcriptional signature profiles and overall survival were assessed with the Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Pts were assigned to training (N = 3167) and test (N = 2,512) cohorts. Cohorts were balanced by age, self-reported race, ECOG performance status, extent of disease, and disease site, and had statistically indistinguishable survival curves. At month 3 on study, 97% of pts had PSA data available; 88% had ≥ 2 PSA values. Matched genomic data was evaluated in 504 and 101 pts in training and test sets respectively. Training cohort pts with a 50% reduction in PSA by month 3 (m3-PSA50) had significantly longer OS (HR 0.51 [0.38-0.67]; p = 1.2 x 106, median 26 vs. 38 months). ANOVA analysis identified expression signatures in the Decipher GRID that significantly improved OS model performance when added to a model including only m3-PSA50. We stratified pts by a combined m3-PSA50 and signature score and identified signatures that improved model fit over m3-PSA50 alone and significantly stratified pts in the test cohort (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In this early analysis (prior to applying machine learning), m3-PSA50 was significantly associated with OS in a heterogeneous group of mPC pts. Although the transcriptomic analysis was conducted on primary tumors obtained many years earlier, we identified transcriptional signatures that significantly improved OS models (independent of m3-PSA50) in men who subsequently developed mPC many years later. These results suggest adding genomic signature data to models for predicting outcome using PSA kinetics may provide improved predictive power.

Designing of a Novel Candidate Multi-epitope Vaccine to boost Immune Responses against SARS‐COV‐2 using Immunoinformatics and Machine Learning based Approach

Background: The fast development of an effective vaccine is the major demand for protection against the SARS-COV-2 virus outbreak. With the vast volume of data and the requirement for automatic abstract property learning, machine learning (ML) as a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant contribution in areas of vaccine discovery. The rise of ML has greatly accelerated the often lengthy vaccine approval process. ML models for COVID-19 vaccine development focus on the prediction of potential epitopes by using a variety of techniques, such as artificial neural networks, gradient boosting decision trees and deep neural networks. : In this regard, immuno-informatics tools are time-saving and cost-effective methods to hasten the design and establishment of a proficient multi-peptide candidate vaccine. The utilization of multi-epitope-based vaccines has been demonstrated to be a promising immunization approach against viruses due to the induction of long-term protective immunity. Methods: In the present study, a comprehensive computational and machine learning based approach was conducted to design a multi-epitope-based potential candidate vaccine composed of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and helper T lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes of conserved regions of Spike and Nucleocapsid proteins. The potential viral peptides as the candidate vaccine were screened regarding convenient features like hydrophilicity, flexibility, antigenicity, and charging properties. In the next step, the vaccine efficacy needs to be improved by an immune adjuvant. For this purpose, the C-terminal domain of the heat shock protein gp96 (CT-GP96) was applied as a potent adjuvant for enhancing immunity. The five assembled constructs with different peptide orders were generated and fused with the assistance of suitable linkers. All five assembled candidate vaccine constructs were modeled and their 3D structures were assessed in terms of strong immune responses stimulation and their structural stability and immune processing for response induction. Finally, the best refined model was docked to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Furthermore, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation of the vaccine-receptor complex was done to assess the stability and related physical movements of the vaccine-TLR4 docking complex. The final candidate vaccine was computationally cloned in E. coli expression host to guarantee its high level of production. Results: Following a comprehensive immune-informatics and machine learning-based approach, the best conserved CTL and HTL immune stimulant epitopes were selected and assembled in different orders to build five different constructs. The final validated candidate vaccine construct was selected according to its efficacy, stability, and exposure ability, molecular docking analysis with TLR4. The molecular simulations by iMODS software also confirmed the stability of the binding interface. Additionally, the computational cloning of the final assembled candidate vaccine with pET28a plasmid showed the possibility of high level production of the vaccine construct post transformation in an E. coli host. Conclusion: The computational analysis indicated that this construct can be proposed as a potent prophylactic and therapeutic candidate multi-epitope vaccine against SARS-COV-2 once its effectiveness is verified by experimental and animal studies.

Current Regulatory Framework and Challenges for the Approval of Complex Generics in the US and the EU

Abstract: The pharmaceutical industry is witnessing a growing demand for complex generic products, which are generic versions of drugs that possess complex formulations, delivery systems, or active ingredients. However, the approval process for these complex generic products poses unique challenges compared to traditional generics. There is no specific regulatory procedure available for the approval of complex generics, unlike smallmolecule generics and biosimilars. This led to controversial arguments in the past about the scientific evidence needed for applications, which led to lengthy approval processes. The regulatory frameworks that are currently being used for complex generics are debatable and unclear. Complexity in the molecular structure, mechanism of action, route of delivery, and complex manufacturing process makes proving bioequivalence and pharmaceutical equivalence difficult. There is a need for harmonization of the regulatory framework by the agencies to help the generic manufacturers by providing scientific advice, defining the submission requirements for complex products, and fastening the approval process. : This review begins by discussing the regulatory landscape surrounding complex generic products in various regions, including the United States and Europe. It examines the specific guidelines and requirements set forth by regulatory authorities to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of these products. Additionally, the review explores the differences in terminology and definitions used to classify complex generics across different jurisdictions. Furthermore, it delves into the challenges faced by both regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies in evaluating and approving complex generic products. These challenges include establishing appropriate bioequivalence criteria, determining interchangeability with the reference product, addressing patent and exclusivity issues, and ensuring consistent quality throughout the product lifecycle. The impact of these challenges on market entry and competition is also discussed. The review highlights the need for harmonization and streamlining of regulations for complex generic products worldwide. It emphasizes the importance of clear and consistent guidelines to enable timely approvals, foster innovation, and facilitate patient access to affordable alternatives.

Waiting to generate: An analysis of onshore wind and solar PV project development lead-times in Australia

The feasibility of near-term renewable targets will depend upon the time taken to get projects completed. Very few studies assess total project lead-times for renewable energy projects. This study investigates the determinants of lead-times for 170 onshore wind and solar PV projects completed in Australia between 2000 and 2023. We track multiple project stages and estimate the impacts of changes in ownership, experience, approval processes, rule changes, and a commissioning process that differs by size of generation. Australia has had a notable improvement in lead-times. Solar projects that commenced before 2010 had an average lead-time of 83 months (min: 63, max: 102). This decreased to 41 months for solar projects (min: 19, max: 75) that commenced after 2016. Onshore wind projects took longer to develop. Project lead-times were 136 months (min: 50, max: 200) when they commenced before 2005. This decreased to 53 months (min: 20, max: 85) for projects starting after 2016. Pre-construction lead-times decreased notably for both solar and wind, which implies that the approval process did improve. There is evidence from one jurisdiction that this did occur, particularly for onshore wind projects. Over the same period, commissioning lead-times were similar for wind projects but have increased for solar projects. On average, commissioning took up to 7 months longer after a change in the re-iterative process of tests and equipment changes to meet generator performance standards. Changes in project ownership occurred often (38% of projects) but this had little impact on lead-times. Accurate estimates of lead-times are important for investors, project-owners and policymakers. Yet, they are rarely reported.

Lessons Learned from Approval of Aducanumab for Alzheimer's Disease.

When the US Food and Drug Administration used the accelerated approval process to authorize the use of the antiamyloid drug aducanumab to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD), many people hoped this signaled a new era of disease-modifying treatment. But 2 years later, aducanumab's failure to launch provides a cautionary tale about the complexities of dementia and the need for a thorough and transparent review of the role that regulatory agencies and various stakeholders play in approving AD drugs. We highlight the events leading to aducanumab's controversial approval and discuss some of the key lessons learned from the drug's failure to deliver the hoped-for benefits. These lessons include the inherent limitations of antiamyloid strategies for a complex disease in which amyloid is only one of several pathological processes, the need for clinical trials that better reflect the diversity of communities affected by AD, the potential pitfalls of futility analyses in clinical trials, the need for greater transparency and other modifications to the approval process, and the dementia field's unreadiness to move from the highly controlled environment of clinical trials to the widespread and chronic use of resource-intensive, disease-modifying drugs in real-world treatment scenarios. People with dementia desperately need effective therapies. We hope that the aducanumab story will inspire changes to the approval process-changes that restore public trust and improve future efforts to deliver disease-modifying therapies to the clinic.

Towards Common European Quality Standards: Evaluation of Study Programmes and Educational Offerings in European Alliances

Evaluation of education is one of key tasks for universities, whether as part of approval processes, accreditation, or ongoing assessment. The EURECA-PRO European university alliance is developing new study programmes, courses, and modules which require evaluation procedures for use by all partner universities. Considering the current EU quality assurance standards and the current evaluation procedures in place at partner universities, an analysis for a roadmap to an educational evaluation system has been conducted and from this a EURECA-PRO evaluation framework has been devised. This framework is formed of three cycles, individual course/module, semester, and whole programme and considers input from key stakeholders: programme management, study deans, teachers, and learners.

Two-Wheeled Urban Vehicles—A Review of Emissions Test Regulations and Literature

Two-wheeled vehicles, due to their population, constitute a significant share of road vehicles in Europe. Therefore, this article presents an overview and analysis of the applicable legal regulations regarding two-wheeled vehicle engines in terms of toxic exhaust emission tests. For the correct interpretation of emission standards, the authors of this work made the necessary analysis of the categorization of two-wheeled vehicles based on Polish law and the criteria of European regulations. The presented analysis concerns not only the current regulations, but also their development trends over the years. These considerations are supplemented with a literature review, which includes the problems of the ecology, energy consumption and construction of the considered group of vehicles. The work presented in this article also concerns the assessment of the conditions for conducting tests on objects belonging to category L in laboratory conditions on chassis dynamometers. On this basis, considerations were made to evaluate the currently applicable WMTC (World Motorcycle Test Cycle) test by comparing it with the actual operation of two-wheeled vehicles. This resulted in the formulation of conclusions regarding the need to introduce procedures for testing pollutant emissions in road conditions in the approval process.

Real-world Data and Evidence to support a switch in status from Prescription drug to Over the Counter drug as applied by the EMA, the US FDA, the MHRA, and the BfArM

PurposeWe studied under which circumstances and to what extent Real-World Data (RWD) and Real-World Evidence (RWE) were used in regulatory decisions when switching products from Prescription-only (Rx) to Over-the-Counter (OTC) status with the aim of extracting learnings that could be applied in future switches. MethodsSanofi commissioned Clarivate Analytics to identify switches from Rx to OTC in the European Union (centrally by the European Medicines Agency [EMA] and in Germany by the Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte [BfArM]), in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and in the United Kingdom by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) as far back as data were available in the public domain, mainly Health Authority webpages. They covered the period from and including 2022 and went as far back as they could find data in their proprietary database or in the public domain; for the EMA back to 2008, the US FDA back to 2001, the UK MHRA back to 1991, and the German BfArM for the period 2013–2022. We also asked Clarivate to investigate the nature of acceptance of RWD and RWE, and to what extent they are accepted by the different regulators in their decision-making and approval processes. FindingsWe found that the number of drugs available in the OTC segment is higher in regulatory jurisdictions where OTC policies are clear and supplemented by guidelines and transparent decision-making processes at the regulator level. A wide range of different data sources, many of which can be regarded as RWD/RWE in their broadest definitions, have been used to support switches. The data required by regulators to support a switch from Rx-only to OTC availability primarily centers on drug safety—both the drug's intrinsic safety and the safety associated with consumer usage. ImplicationsClear and transparent regulatory switch frameworks are conducive to growing the number of medicines available to consumers willing to self-manage their conditions. Transparent disclosure of the RWD and RWE data sets that regulators have found acceptable in historic switch applications is desirable because it would help sponsors to facilitate and increase prospective switches, thereby benefiting patients and society.
