The conditions for obtaining patient’s access to new medicinal products have changed dramatically during recent years along with expanding pressure on healthcare budgets. What used to be fairly uncomplicated marketing activities after regulatory approval, has transformed into a discipline requiring crucial negotiations between sponsors and payers based on technology assessments. To support such negotiations, focus is not only on clinical development programs to demonstrate efficacy and safety but also on health economic analysis based on real-world evidence of treatment outcome.
As a consequence, Market Access is now a separate discipline in many pharmaceutical companies. This meeting will provide a general introduction to the field, how are new pharmaceuticals appraised in public health care evaluations, what are the typical access barriers and how can these be addressed in clinical development and by means of real-world evidence?
