“What's really cool about overactive bladder is that, it's not like high blood pressure. They do not have to leave this office with a pill in hand," says Anna Myers, CNP.

"I think [gepotidacin] gives a different side effect profile available to the clinicians, and I think for patients as well, it provides a better, more durable option over time," says Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA, CPEL.

The approval is supported by data from the phase 3 EAGLE-2 and EAGLE-3 trials.

"A lot of times…decreased desire is affected by everything else: pain with sex, orgasm, arousal. Because if none of that is good, then desire isn't going to be good either," says Anna Myers, CNP.

"The findings from this study will help us understand sunobinop’s potential as a possible new treatment option for this chronic disorder,” said Craig Landau, MD.

Age, race, and hormonal contraceptive use did not significantly impact the efficacy of sildenafil cream, 3.6%, in female sexual arousal disorder.

"We had 66 respondents, and 48% of those did say that they had functionally limiting pelvic pain...for 14 days out of a given month at least," says Sarah Ponce.

Data showed that vaginal estrogen, vaginal DHEA, oral ospemifene, and vaginal moisturizers may provide benefit in the management of symptoms related to GSM.

The company expects the device to become available for US patients with pelvic organ prolapse in September 2024.

There were no differences in the number of treatment-related TEAEs in patients who received sildenafil cream vs patients who received placebo.

"I don't think 1 database study creates dogma, but I do think we can share these data with our patients and talk to them about treatment options and risk, have that difficult conversation about how BMI may be associated with that risk," says Cassandra K. Kisby, MD, MS.

The FDA approval is supported by data from the phase 3 ALLIUM trial, which demonstrated the non-inferiority and superiority of cefepime/enmetazobactam vs piperacillin/tazobactam.

The aim of this document is to present a framework by which AUGS and its members can address the development of new technology and techniques, particularly in the surgical arena.

The FDA has issued a complete response letter regarding a new drug application for cefepime-taniborbactam for the treatment of patients with complicated urinary tract infection.

The position statement is meant to iterate AUGS' support for gender inclusion of both patients and health care providers.

Cefepime-taniborbactam is currently under review by the FDA for cUTI, including acute pyelonephritis, based on data from the CERTAIN-1 trial.
