Doctor taking notes about patient Pharmaceutical and biotechnological manufacturers face increasing pressures to effectively bring innovative therapies to the global market while at the same time, meeting local evidence requirements. As a result, remaining close to the evolving payer and health technology assessment (HTA) landscape is critical. Insights on these complex environments are needed to inform clinical development and health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) evidence generation strategies in the pipeline stages and throughout the life cycle of new specialty and biotechnology products.

This webinar will have particular focus on the US, Canada and Germany in order to:

1) Describe current and anticipated trends in access for new specialty and biotechnology products

2) Review the evidence guidelines set by specific payers/HTA bodies

3) Demonstrate best practices for developing access strategies and value propositions
