Treatment of advanced, metastasized breast cancer has challenged payers because of the complexity and high cost of regimens, such as Genentech\u2019s Perjeta\/Herceptin in combination with docetaxel as a first-line treatment for metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Several value assessment models have emerged to help managed care organizations (MCOs) determine the value, including the cost-effectiveness, of therapies. As payment reform intensifies, understanding the effect of value assessment on MCOs\u2019 reimbursement decisions is critical to a sound market access strategy for drugs launching for breast cancer and other diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions answered<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How common is MCOs\u2019 application of value assessment in determining coverage of breast cancer drugs on commercial plan formularies?<\/li>\n<li>Which value assessment models will MCOs likely use to evaluate new breast cancer therapies, and what will be the likely effect on coverage policies and, ultimately, on oncologists\u2019 prescribing decisions?<\/li>\n<li>What attributes of a breast cancer drug do payers and oncologists value most highly?<\/li>\n<li>What role do value assessments play in\u00a0pay-for-value initiatives such as outcomes-based contracting and indication-specific pricing?<\/li>\n<li>How do payers view cost-effectiveness metrics for specific breast cancer populations versus\u00a0oncology as a whole and other therapy areas?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PRODUCT DESCRIPTION<\/p>\n<p><strong>Access &#038; Reimbursement:<\/strong> Provides in-depth insight regarding the impact of payer policy on physician prescribing behavior so that companies\u00a0can build a\u00a0market access strategy and optimize their\u00a0brand positioning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-390743","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry","report-gateway-biopharma","biopharma-therapy-areas-breast-cancer","biopharma-geography-us","biopharma-date-890"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/390743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/report"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/390743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":576753,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/390743\/revisions\/576753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
