Session 1: Different Perspectives on Unmet Medical Need
Session Chair(s)
Claudine Sapède, PharmD
- Global HTA and Payment Policy Lead
- F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Switzerland
Addressing unmet medical need is a key criterion for medicine prioritization and for a molecule to qualify for accelerated regulatory review processes. Yet, there is not a common definition of the term and the interpretations may also vary between stakeholder groups (regulators, HTA bodies/payers, patients, medicine developers…). To what extend and how is unmet medical need considered in reimbursement decision-making? Could we make progress and advance these questions? This is what will be explored in this session.
