Horizon scanning: Data for soluble ferric pyrophosphate for iron deficiency in haemodialysis patients
Source: BioSpace Area: News BioSpace has reported on the main results of a study evaluating soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP) for the treatment of iron deficiency in haemodialysis patients. SFP is an iron compound that is delivered to the haemodialysis patient via dialysate replacing the 5-7mg of iron lost during a dialysis treatment. Once in the dialysate, SFP crosses the dialyser membrane and enters the bloodstream where it binds to apo-transferrin and is taken to the bone marrow. The 9-month multicentre PRIME study randomised 108 patients (103 of whom received the study drug; modified intention-...

Study finds influenza A/H1N1 MF59 adjuvanted vaccine (Focetria®) in pregnant women does not increase risk of adverse perinatal outcomes
Source: BMJ Area: News According to research published early online in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), vaccination during pregnancy with the MF59 adjuvanted A/H1N1 influenza vaccine does not increase (and may even lower) the risk of adverse perinatal events. The authors note that data on the use of MF59 adjuvanted vaccines during pregnancy are scarce. Although limited evidence provides some reassurance, the uptake of H1N1 specific influenza vaccine in pregnant women has been poor in several countries as a result of uncertainty (among both women and physicians) about safety of the vaccine in pregnancy. ...
