7 Regulators versus HTA bodies Having an approved NDA/MAA, qualifies you to talk to me Dr. Andrew Walker, Sr. Economic Reviewer, SMC 7

8 HTA & Payer relevant endpoints Payer Need Payer performance measures R&D delivery Performance Reduction in symptoms RCT show efficacy improvements (x-y%) Effective Usage Clear stop/start rules Identify responders/diagnostics Value for Money Benefit vs. costs is acceptable Economic Modeling Human Impact Acceptable QoL for patients Demonstrate effect on QoL and family Stakeholders Real-world Level of pressure from key influencers Proof (based on data) that it will deliver real world results Build Constituent need in trial design Phase IV open label, Observational, Chart review 8

12 Stakeholder views on the role of a GVD Can a GVD influence submission outcome? UK-LAF: No, it purely depends on the data and if the data is relevant to the market. HQ: Without the GVD you may have submissions prepared by people that don t understand your strategy behind the positioning of the drug.. EU5 vs. non EU5 LAF Yes No HQ and LAF responses 2 HQ (n=7) LAF (n=12) Yes No N/A 4 5 0% 50% 100% EU5 (n=6) 1 Non EU5 (n=6) With permission of Quintiles Advisory Services, Pim Kooreman,

13 Stakeholder views on the content of a GVD Are there any sections in the GVD more important than others? HQ: All sections presented in the GVD are equally important (n=7/7; 100%) LAF: Some sections are more important than others (n=11/12; 92%)» Clinical data (n=8)» Positioning statements (n=5)» Economical data (n=3) HQ: They are all equally important, the GVD is telling a story. Is there information missing from the GVD? HQ (n=6) HQ and LAF responses 5 1 Yes DE-LAF: Not really missing but not as in depth as I need it from a country perspective. No LAF (n=12) 7 5 Ambiguous 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% With permission of Quintiles Advisory Services, Pim Kooreman,

23 Value chain, working by stage Launch readiness Post approval support Local level engagement Strategic and tactical activities HEOR input into Development studies (Phase 2 / 3 studies) Preparation of Global Value Dossier PRO assessment and input Landscape assessment (e.g. unmet need, disease burden, competitor analysis) HEOR projects: disease registries External database analyses Post hoc analyses Big data analyses Adjust Global Value Dossier to region and country needs Alignment and governance of HEOR activities Engagement with customers (e.g. product presentations) Adjust Global Value Dossier to country needs Global Value team coordination Involvement Global, (with region input) Region, with Global coordination Country execution (with region support) Early decision Approval 23

24 Key recommendations Tailor global market access strategy based on product qualities Breakthrough/first in class vs. me too vs. follower Be pro-active and understand setting-specific requirements and payer mindset engage with key stakeholders early on (regulators, HTAs, patients); not always easy, but necessary Ensure global alignment with development team members (statistics, project lead, medical, regulatory, HEOR, commercial, etc.) as well as continuous regional and policy input 24

25 Key recommendations Ensure Value Dossier is available at NDA/MAA approval Enhance skills and capacity internally to understand client needs: Health systems Pricing, Health economics and outcomes Patient advocacy Regulatory 25

27 Conclusion Planning for evidence generation should begin in early phase and be regarded as a living process that can be updated to account for new internal data and new external pressures throughout the product lifecycle Develop credible evidence Identify unmet information needs Align evidence with product value proposition Build implementation plan Integrated, Holistic Evidence Generation when it is needed for appropriate audiences Health Care Professionals Patients & Caregivers Regulators/Health Authorities Payers P r o d u c t L i f e C y c l e Phase II Phase III Phase IV Loss of Exclusivity (LOE) 27
