November 10, 2016 - Supplement: Biosimilars in Oncology
Robert Rifkin, MD, FACP
As expensive cancer biologics move off patent, biosimilar products are coming on board. These are highly similar versions of licensed biologics that demonstrate near-fingerprint identity to their reference products in terms of structure and potency. Biosimilars represent a major opportunity for cost savings and will in turn serve to increase patient access to effective drugs.
Biosimilars entered the European Union's marketplace in 2006 with the approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of Omnitrope (somatropin). The EMA established the term "biosimilar" in recognition that the products are similar to the originator, using essentially the same active ingredient of the reference product. As stated by the European Commission, "no two cell lines, developed independently, can be considered identical. This is why biotechnology-derived medicines cannot be fully copied."1 In recognition of this, the EMA established the term "biosimilar." For biosimilars, the structure, functions, pharmacokinetic profiles, pharmacodynamic effects, and efficacy must be shown comparable to the reference product. The biosimilar also must show it has no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety from the reference product.
To date, the EMA has approved 22 biosimilar agents within the product classes of human growth hormone, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent, insulin, follicle-stimulating hormone, and tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors; two biosimilar approvals have been withdrawn, leaving a total of 20 biosimilars currently being prescribed in Europe.
Biosimilars in the United States
These novel compounds have since been slowly making their way into the U.S. marketplace. In March 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first biosimilar product, filgrastim-sndz (Zarxio). Since then, three other biosimilars have been approved: infliximab-dyyb (Inflectra), etanercept-szzs (Erelzi), and most recently, adalumumab-atto (Amjevita), which received FDA approval for the treatment of multiple inflammatory diseases on September 23, 2016.
Oncologists have filgrastim-sndz as an alternative to the reference product filgrastim (Neupogen), the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor analog that was first licensed for use in 1991. In patients with nonmyeloid malignancies who are receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy, filgrastim is indicated to decrease the incidence and duration of neutropenia and febrile neutropenia following chemotherapy. Filgrastim-sndz is listed within the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Guidelines for Myeloid Growth Factors and appears in many drug formularies. Biosimilar versions of many other oncology agents are expected to become available in the next few years as originator molecule patents expire.
Phase III trials are completed or underway of biosimilar forms of several antitumor drugs, including biosimilar trastuzumab in HER2-positive early breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer [reference product, trastuzumab (Herceptin)]; biosimilar rituximab in follicular lymphoma, indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [reference product, rituximab (Rituxan)]; biosimilar bevacizumab in non–small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer [reference product, bevacizumab [Avastin]; and biosimilar cetuximab (Erbitux) in head and neck cancer [reference product, cetuximab (Erbitux)].
More growth factors should also soon join filgrastim-sndz, including biosimilar products for pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) and epoetin alfa (Epogen, Procrit). Oncologists will then be given the choice of several biosimilars as alternatives to current reference agents.
It is important, therefore, for oncologists to understand the nuances of these interesting new agents, and to know how to discuss them with patients. What will they mean to your practice? Our roundtable faculty debated a number of issues relevant to their emerging use. We hope our readers will find this information useful in their own practices.■

As part of efforts to ramp up power supply in the country, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its Joint Venture Partner (JVP), Nigeria Agip Oil Company Limited (NAOC) have pledged their commitment to implement the Okpai Phase 2 Project to shore up the current power generation with 500 megawatts of power.
Dr. Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director (GMD) of the NNPC, made the disclosure when he received the new Vice Chairman and Managing Director of NAOC, Fiorillo Lorenzo, in his office at the NNPC Towers.
He said that the Okpai Phase 2 Project was being fine-tuned to expeditiously bring it on stream, adding that it would increase power generation by between 10 to 12 per cent.
The GMD informed that the project, when completed, would impact significantly on economic activities of the country, stressing that once power was available, there would be a lot of improvement in the standard of living of Nigerians.
Earlier, Mr. Lorenzo, said his company had a long-standing partnership with Nigeria and NNPC.
"We want to grow and we want to build and develop new opportunities for the country and support the country in its energy journey. We want to try to change and improve the energy mix of the country and the Okpai Project is a testament to this commitment of our company,' Mr. Lorenzo affirmed.
On his part, Massimo Insulla, outgoing Vice Chairman of NAOC, said the meeting with the GMD was fruitful with the discussion focusing on the opportunities in the Joint Venture (JV) and the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) and taking advantage of the oil price condition to bring additional value to the investment in Nigeria.
"We have been working for 15 years to implement the Okpai Phase 2 Project which is very important to the NNPC/NAOC JV, and we have been able to find a way to achieve our target with this administration," Mr. Insulla stated.


I have a belly fetish too and I'm a guy. Wanna chat?
I'm the same way, only gay. It's not weird, it has it's own community of people that love the way they are with this fetish. I believe for FFA's such as yourself a quick google search will be helpful to learn about them, and when you turn 18 you can begin getting to know other people who share this interest.
a) Be careful and be reasonable. The men (or women, either way) on those sites can be very persuasive and sound like great people but when it comes to meeting in person they flake out. So don't let someone sweet talk you into anything without fully understanding the consequences.
2) In the same way, don't pressure someone to change their body unless you are given the express permission to do so. As someone who is intentionally gaining, a few kind words like "you look great with the extra weight" go a long way in helping fight judgement of others that comes with being overweight, but feeling unsure about gaining weight for someone else and being continually pressured by them gets pretty emotionally exhausting. Try to avoid it.
Otherwise, have fun and stay healthy, even if you are not the one who will be gaining weight.
Thank you so much for your support, and sorry for the delay, I forgot my post here because I found a web with my fetish, called Fantasy Feeder.

With interest in filmmaking rising, Bel Air festival's featured film gives uplifting viewing experience
By DAVID ANDERSON
| The Aegis |
Oct 15, 2016 | 3:00 AM
Jack Gerbes, director of the Maryland Film Office, was the guest speaker Friday during the second night of the eighth annual Town of Bel Air Film Festival. (DAVID ANDERSON | AEGIS STAFF / Baltimore Sun)
The annual Town of Bel Air Film Festival is not a venue for big-budget Hollywood blockbusters, but viewers are treated to educational and uplifting films, which was the case with Friday night's showing of the documentary "Landfill Harmonic."
"I can guarantee you, no matter what the topic is, you are going to go away saying, 'I'm so glad I came here, I learned something,' and you'll go and tell what you learned to somebody else," Bel Air Mayor Susan Burdette said during her introductory remarks to about 125 people gathered at the Bel Air Armory for the second night of the three-day festival.
Interest in film and filmmaking has been on the rise in Harford County, where a handful of Hollywood productions and indie films have been shot or developed, such as the acclaimed "Roulette" in the latter category.
8th Annual Town of Bel Air Film Festival is Oct. 13 to 15
In brief remarks before Friday night's showing, Jack Gerbes, director of the Maryland Film Office, highlighted Bel Air and Harford County's visibility among film and television productions.
"The reason that they love it here in Maryland, and they love it here in Harford County is, one, the citizens of Harford County, certainly," Gerbes said. "Two, the amazing support that they get from all the jurisdictions, specifically Harford County."

And then, there's "House of Cards."
Gerbes said the hit Netflix political drama, which is shot throughout Harford County, has had a huge economic impact since it began production in 2012.
A section of South Main Street, just a few blocks from the Armory, was closed for several hours two weeks earlier for the shooting of street scenes for an upcoming fifth-season episode. The latest season of "House of Cards" is scheduled to air in early 2017.
When the fourth season production wrapped up in early 2016, Gerbes said "House of Cards," most of whose indoor scenes are shot on sound stages in Joppa, already had been supported by more than 2,300 Maryland vendors, including 395 Harford businesses.
"They really have a direct impact," he said of film and TV productions.

"Landfill Harmonic," the Bel Air festival's featured documentary, tells the story of the Recycled Orchestra, a group of young musicians who live near a massive landfill outside the Paraguayan capital. Their instruments are made from items discarded in the landfill. The teens played those instruments during their journey to worldwide fame.
"It's a great film," Gerbes, a Forest Hill resident and regular guest at the film festival, said. "It's going to tear your heart out, but in the end, it's really going to uplift you."
And, the featured film indeed had emotional impact on some of the viewers at the armory.
Downtown Bel Air gets its first close-up in 'House of Cards'
Bel Air resident Marvin J. Dunmeyer came with his mother, Ines, also of Bel Air. They were attending their first Bel Air Film Festival.
"I really enjoyed it," he said. "It's something I wish I could have gone to before, I loved it."

Dunmeyer enjoyed seeing the young people portrayed in the film "go from having no dreams at all to having the opportunity to live their dreams and inspire younger children."
Ines Dunmeyer said the community shown on screen reminded her of her childhood in Puerto Rico.
"We bathed in the river, we cooked outside, we had pigs and chickens," she recalled.
The film also reminded her of "just seeing our parents work as hard as they did to give us what they could."

She works as a Spanish-language translator for the Beacon Health Center in Havre de Grace, helping more than 300 Spanish-speaking families in the area.

The majority of the dialogue in "Landfill Harmonic" is in Spanish with English subtitles.
Dunmeyer said she hopes to bring some of those families to next year's festival to "enjoy something that they normally would not have access to."
The festival wraps Saturday with two more documentaries, "Advanced Style" at 4 p.m. and "Miss Sharon Jones" at 7:30 p.m. The Armory doors open 30 minutes before each showing.
Tickets are $5 per person per movie, or $10 for an all-access pass. Children 10 years old and younger are admitted for free. People in groups of at least 20 pay just $4 per movie.

Here, even though the default targeting action is prevented, chrome still shows the target after the a tag has been clicked and I'm not hovering on the link (however, this doesn't happen in case of IE or Mozilla):

Check this fiddle.
how to solve this issue?
EDIT:
What I meant was - the target is shown even when I'm not hovering on the link.
Besides this, it would give any non-technical user a false idea that the page is still loading.

A: This is native behaviour of the browser. It's displaying the URL because it is the href of the active link. The link remains active after being clicked because it has focus. If you want to make it inactive you could blur the element on click.
$('a').click(function(event){
    event.target.blur();
    event.preventDefault();
});

Although the URL will still remain visible while the link is hovered over.
