ENP112: Osteoporosis and the SABRE Project
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently qualified "total hip bone mineral density" as a surrogate endpoint to support clinical trials for osteoporosis drugs. This decision will significantly impact clinical trials moving forward, as the traditional endpoint of "fracture outcomes" presented many challenges regarding sample size, duration, and cost. The change came about because of findings f
ENP111: Addressing the Endocrine Workforce Shortage
The endocrine workforce shortage is affecting the lives of endocrinologists and the patients they treat. Many practices would benefit from any support that would give endocrinologists more capacity to focus where they really need to.
