FDA to scrutinize unproven cancer drugs after 10-year gap

Each year the U.S. approves dozens of new uses for cancer drugs based on early signs that they can shrink or slow the spread of tumors. But how often do those initial results translate into longer, healthier lives for patients?

CHIBE/LDI Health Policy Work-in-Progress Research Seminar Series: Michael L. Barnett, MD, MS

Learn More 2021-05-13 12:00:00 2021-05-13 13:00:00 America/New_York CHIBE/LDI Health Policy Work-in-Progress Research Seminar Series: Michael L. Barnett, MD, MS Michael L. Barnett, MD, MS, will join the CHIBE, HP, & LDI community for a Work-In-Progress Research Seminar on May 13, 2021 from noon to 1 PM EST. Dr. Barnett is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. Topic: Political partisanship and physician prescribing of proposed COVID-19 treatments in 2020 (work in progress) In early 2020, there were surges of prescriptions for drugs proposed to treat COVID-19, such as hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and azithromycin despite a very uncertain evidence base. Increased prescribing persisted throughout 2020 even after RCT evidence demonstrated that these treatments were ineffective. The factors influencing physicians to continue prescribing debunked therapies for COVID-19 are unknown. A possible influence is political partisanship of patients or physicians given that these drugs became politically polarized via promotion by right-wing leaders and news media. In this preliminary work, I examine whether there is evidence that physicians are vulnerable to partisanship in prescribing decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
