Fabiana Banov, RPh, MS, PCCA Senior Formulation Pharmacist

PCCA Science, a division of our Research & Development department, is made up of pharmacists with real-world experience who diligently work to provide scientific studies and scholarly articles curated specifically for compounding pharmacists. With easy access to more than 300 published articles at PCCA Science, pharmacists can quickly provide evidence-based research and scientific data to physicians. Articles are categorized by Scientific Publications for a specific base, and by Formula Plus™ stability studies on relevant active ingredients.

Our Science team focuses on publishing scientific case studies using PCCA proprietary products. Case studies are extremely valuable, show evidence-based results and how compounded therapies help fill the unique needs of a unique patient. Case studies are also a great way to initiate conversations with physicians, as well as to clarify and show the impact a compounded formula had on a challenging health issue.

Our Science team also helps compounding pharmacists develop and potentially publish case studies using validated research tools. In fact, we want you to collaborate with PCCA Science and turn your patients’ success stories using PCCA products into case studies.

All you need to do is complete the Case Studies form, which is accessed on the PCCA Member website/Science/ Initiate Case Study or PCCA Member website/Resources/Documents/Search document number 99237. After you submit the case study request, a member of our Science team will contact you and explain all steps, including what is needed from you and what you can expect from our Science team.

PCCA Science does the heavy lifting—from supplying consent forms and questionnaires to conducting research and evaluations—for accepted case studies. If your study is accepted and published, you and the doctor may have the opportunity for your and the prescribing doctor’s names included with study authors.

Now more than ever, case studies are vital to preserving the compounding industry’s integrity, reputation and future. In addition to publishing evidence-based research and scientific data for physicians, case studies may have a positive impact on federal and state regulations and work to ensure patients maintain access to personalized medications.
