HTA Quarterly Fall 2024
Heard on the street
“Harmonizing methodological choices between drug developers and assessors presents a promising avenue towards enhancing accuracy and reliability in HTAs.”
Dr. Michael Hennig, Senior Director, Expertise Line Head for HTA Statistics at PharmaLex, a Cencora company, comments on the new EU guidelines on statistical analysis set to impact biopharmaceutical companies starting in January 2025.
By the numbers
9% - The price of confidentiality
Under the German Medical Research Act (MFG), which will come into effect on January 1, 2025, pharma companies with R&D departments in Germany will be able to choose between transparent or confidential pricing. Those who choose the confidential option agree to an automatic 9% discount on the agreed-on price of a new patented medicine. The difference between the public price and the agreed-on discounted price under Germany’s AMNOG process will be reimbursed by the company.
