C/16/19a C/16/08a BSAC Drugs Stability Testing Programme Council was reminded that at the last meeting a proposal to establish a BSAC Drug Stability Testing Programme was considered, with a request that BSAC underwrite the programme with a proviso that the programme is self-funding within 2 years. A number of questions were raised by Council which had been addressed. A final proposal had been circulated to Council by email and majority approval for the project had been received. Council NOTED the following: (a) The purpose and objective of the Programme is to provide evidence on the efficacy and stability of agents and devices used in the OPAT arena. The benefits of the Programme will be to make available, open access stability data that will inform practice and has the ability to improve patient safety and patient outcomes within a rapidly expanding area of infection management. The Programme objectives are cognisant with the charitable objectives of the Society “To support the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge in the field of antimicrobial chemotherapy”. (b) The decision to request establishment of the Programme followed a comprehensive literature review of published evidence on drug stability of antimicrobial agents. This review, which has accepted for poster presentation at ECCMID 2016, demonstrated a total absence of published data in the field. (c) Agreement is, subject to confirmation of matching funds from commercial sources for Year 1 activity, to underwrite the start-up costs from investments within a range of £40k-£80k to enable testing and publication of stability data for between 2 – 4 devices and agents. 5
