#PhF24 awardee Si-Sim Kang's first science project was studying her own rare autoimmune disease. Now a PhD student at Johns Hopkins Medicine, she is researching a method for improving adoptive cell therapy, which uses a patient’s own immune cells, called T cells, to fight #cancer.

Congratulations to Ding Quan (Quinton) Ng, BSPharm on the publication of his PhF-funded research! Hear him discuss his research in this interview: https://lnkd.in/ehDxmbqx
A project particularly dear to me is successfully published in BMC Medicine (2023 IF: 7.0). Not only is it my very first grant-funded research, it's also one that develops following my experience caring for my dad as he endured with cancer pain without adequate relief from conventional analgesics. In this study, using claims data, we sought to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and value of acupuncture for cancer pain. While adjusted results did not show a significant difference in overall outcomes between acupuncture-treated and non-treated patients, interesting findings emerged from our exploratory analyses: 🔍 Breast cancer patients treated specifically for pain reported reduced use of analgesics 🔍 Those with high acupuncture utilization saw lower healthcare costs These insights highlight the potential role acupuncture could play in supportive care. Nevertheless, not everyone benefits from acupuncture, so future studies should focus on finding ways to prescreen responders and monitor treatment response at the clinics to facilitate reimbursement using pragmatic trial designs. I would like to thank Drs Alexandre Chan, PharmD, MPH, FCCP, FISOPP, BCPS, BCOP, APh and Sherry Yun WANG for the support they have rendered to ensure the successful completion of this project. I am also very grateful for PhRMA Foundation to have awarded the fellowship that has facilitated my pursuit of this research. This project would not have been possible without their continued belief in the value of this work. Finally, I will be attending the #SIO2024 at City of Hope from October 25-27. Feel free to reach out to learn more about the project and collaborate in future research! https://lnkd.in/gzJEuMfh #Cancer #CancerResearch #CancerPain #CancerSurvivorship #SupportiveCare #BreastCancer #IntegrativeOncology #Acupuncture #RWE #RWD UCI School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Chapman University School of Pharmacy

Our final day of Symposium 2024 ended with our closing plenary, the Student Poster Award winner, and our official closing ceremony. Congratulations to Christopher Cadham, MPH, PhD student from the University of Michigan, on your winning poster "Understanding Equity-Efficiency Trade-offs for Healthcare Resource Allocation in Canada: A Best-Worst Scaling Exercise"! These posters play a vital role in communicating evidence-based research and supporting the next generation of HTA producers. Thank you to all the students who participated. Check out some of the photos from the last day of Symposium 2024! 👇 --- Le dernier jour du Symposium 2024, mais non le moindre, a donné lieu à la plénière de clôture, à l’annonce du lauréat du concours d’affiches scientifiques et à la cérémonie de clôture officielle. Félicitations à Christopher Cadham, doctorant à l’Université du Michigan, qui a réalisé l’affiche gagnante sur le thème suivant : comprendre les compromis entre l’équité et l’efficacité dans l’allocation des ressources de santé au Canada : un exercice selon la méthode d’échelle de différence maximale (Understanding Equity-Efficiency Trade-offs for Healthcare Resource Allocation in Canada: A Best-Worst Scaling Exercise). Ces affiches jouent un rôle crucial en matière de communication de la recherche fondée sur des données probantes et de soutien à la prochaine génération de producteurs d’évaluations des technologies de la santé. Merci à toutes les personnes qui y ont participé. Découvrez des photos de la dernière journée du Symposium 2024! 👇 #CDA_AMC #HTA #CdnHealth #SantéCdn University of Michigan School of Public Health
