Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Switches between branded (reference) medications and the corresponding generic medications or between two different corresponding generic medications occur commonly during the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Prescribing a generic product in place of a reference product can reduce patient and pharmacy costs. But there can be implications. Planned or unplanned switches from one product to another during ongoing treatment may introduce variability in drug exposure which could in turn compromise efficacy and/or tolerability. Studies comparing the initiation of reference versus generic products do not provide clear evidence of the superiority of reference or generic products generally, whereas several studies examining a switch between reference and generic products suggest that reductions in efficacy or medication adherence and persistence may be associated with generic substitution. Clinicians should work with patients to facilitate a consistent supply of reference or generic drug product that provides stable exposure to avoid clinical deterioration or poor tolerability.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
