"Fast Track" for Digital Health Applications
Strategic questions and proof of positive healthcare effects - what does a DiGA manufacturer need for successful implementation?

In mid-May, the time has finally come: After the publication of the Digital Health Applications Ordinance (DiGAV) and the guide to the "fast-track procedure" for digital health applications (DiGA), manufacturers can submit their application for inclusion in the list to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). In addition to a final inclusion, manufacturers also have the possibility of being provisionally included in the list and to provide proof of positive supply effects within the framework of a trial. An integral part of the application procedure is a scientific evaluation concept, on the basis of which proof of positive effects on supply can be provided. The results of the evaluation are then expected to be part of the price negotiations with the GKV-Spitzenverband.
Which strategic questions need to be answered with regard to the decision for or against the fast-track procedure?
Which experiences from previous evaluation and testing procedures can be transferred?
What considerations must be incorporated into a scientific evaluation concept and what are the options for implementation?

Orphan drug commercialization in Europe, using France as gateway to Europe

It is often a challenge for small and medium-sized biopharmaceutical companies to bring their novel medicines to European patients. Although there is only one centralized approval for innovative drugs in Europe, each European Member State has its own pricing and reimbursement system. This interactive workshop will focus on how small and medium-sized enterprises can best bring their rare disease therapies to European patients. Cell and gene therapies pose particular challenges as many of these therapies target a very small patient population. The higher the expected price, the more complex the price negotiations could become. A particular focus will be on the reimbursement system in France, as France has a unique early access program for life-saving drugs and is often the first country to enter the European market. The workshop will therefore also examine how the French early access program can be leveraged to generate data that can later be used in the regular reimbursement procedures in Europe. This workshop will look at access to orphan drugs from the perspective of patients, reimbursement bodies and industry. Participants are invited to discuss with the experts.

The panelists will also answer questions submitted HERE during the panel discussion.

Time: 14.45 - 15.45

Roundtable
Medical Devices in Europe in 2020: What’s New in Reimbursement and Market Access?

The new EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR). This regulation will enter into full force in May 2020. How will it affect reimbursement and market access?
Coverage with Evidence Development (CED): New laws in Germany aim to improve the CED program. Who is affected? What is new?
Digital technologies: In Germany, a new law on digital technologies (including medical applications) will come into force in 2020. How does a company enroll into the coverage? What clinical data is required?

Innovative Contracting in Cell and Gene Therapies in Europe

Level 100, Room 115A

Panel

Cell and gene therapies have the potential to change the therapy landscape in many therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need. However, financing one-time treatments may also be a challenge for payers worldwide.

This session will focus on pay-for-performance & deferred payment models in Europe for cell and gene therapies. The panel will focus on presenting the various contract models, incentives and challenges for implementation, as well as criteria that drive the attractiveness of such models to industry and payers. Post launch evidence generation is often a critical element of those contracts to provide payers with long-term data. The panel will present and discuss examples of pay-for-performance models implemented with payers across Europe.
You are invited to join and discuss with the experts:

Fabian Berkemeier, Director Value & Access Strategy, IGES Institute (Germany)
Sonalee Agarwal, VP Value Evidence & Strategy, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (USA)
Jie Zhang, Head of Global Value and Access, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (USA)
Moderator: Alexander Natz, Secretary General, European Confederation of Pharmaceutical Entrepreneurs (Belgium)

Referencing European Prices for Medicare Part B Drugs

Session
Referencing European Prices for Medicare Part B Drugs

Referencing European prices for Medicare Part B drugs is a possible approach for drug pricing regulation in the US. If implemented, European health technology assessments will play a central role in defining prices for Medicare Part B drugs.

In this session, IGES Institute will provide an overview of the different types of health technology assessment frameworks in Europe. Key topics will be the differences in pricing results between various European member states and how referencing these prices would affect the pricing of Medicare Part B drugs. EUCOPE will provide an overview on the challenges of the existing European reference price system for European patients and payers and will share experiences that have been gained in Europe since the system was established.
You are invited to join and discuss with the experts:

Fabian Berkemeier, Director Value & Access Strategy, IGES Institute (Germany)
