Additionally, University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, and University of Florida College of Pharmacy competed in the live national finals. Ten additional teams were recognized as semifinalists and close to fifty PharmD programs nationwide participated.
The competition is designed to provide a firsthand experience into the complexity of formulary management. Teams worked through a case study evaluating ADBRYTM (tralokinumab-ldrm) injection as the study drug. Student pharmacists reviewed the drug dossier in the AMCP Format for Formulary Submissions and presented to a mock P&T Committee. Adbry is an interleukin-13 antagonist indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adult patients whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. Adbry can be used with or without topical corticosteroids.
"This competition is the marquee event for student pharmacists who are interested in managed care," said AMCP Foundation executive director Paula J. Eichenbrenner, MBA, CAE. "We're grateful to our partners – and the dedicated managed care pharmacists who serve as judges – for supporting this opportunity for future leaders to consider evidence gaps, value, health equity, and utilization management."
The Foundation is deeply grateful to our sponsors for their generous support of the Competition.
