ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- AMCP Foundation is pleased to announce that a team of student pharmacists from University of California, San Francisco School of Pharmacy took top honors in the 20th Annual National Student Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Competition. The 2020 competition, organized by AMCP Foundation, attracted 69 schools of pharmacy. Hundreds of teams collaborated to develop the rigor and depth of reasoning involved in formulary management, which ensures millions of patients can get medications they need at costs they can afford. This year's case study simulated a new indication review for add-on maintenance treatment in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma aged 12 years and older. The winning teams are:
Eight national finalist teams were identified and invited to narrate their slides for virtual review by AMCP Foundation judges. All of the finalists deserve a special commendation for adapting to the rapidly evolving environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the schools above, the remaining P&T 2020 national finalist teams hailed from Butler University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences; Keck Graduate Institute School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences; Purdue University College of Pharmacy; Temple University School of Pharmacy; and University of California, San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences. "Reaching the 20th anniversary of this prestigious national competition is gratifying, particularly during the very challenging circumstances this year," says Paula J. Eichenbrenner, MBA, CAE, AMCP Foundation Executive Director. "We witnessed anew the dedication of the faculty, managed care experts and industry leaders who partner with us to train student pharmacists in evidence-based medicine." Eight additional institutions were recognized as honorable mention semifinalists. These teams represented: Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Mercer University College of Pharmacy, Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy, University of Houston College of Pharmacy, University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, University of the Pacific Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, University of Washington School of Pharmacy and University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy. About P&T Competition The P&T Competition replicates the process that health care decision makers take in examining a new pharmaceutical product for placement on a formulary. Competition teams examine a dossier in the AMCP Format for Formulary Submissions to evaluate evidence on the study drug as they develop a monograph and presentation for defending their recommendations. The AMCP Foundation thanks Sanofi US Services, Inc., for use of the dossier for DUPIXENT® (dupilumab) injection for this competition. Dupixent is a registered trademark of Sanofi Biotechnology. Teams were asked to consider the use of Dupixent for an additional indication as add-on maintenance treatment in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma aged 12 years and older with an eosinophilic phenotype or with oral corticosteroid-dependent asthma.
