Crohn’s Disease | Access and Reimbursement | EU5 | 2018

MARKET OUTLOOK

The introduction of additional Crohn’s disease (CD) agents has shifted—and will continue to shift—market dynamics. The newer non-TNF biologics (Takeda’s Entyvio and Janssen’s Stelara) intensify the competition among branded agents, while additional entries and the expanded use of less-expensive biosimilar TNF-α inhibitors provide physicians—and payers—with the potential for more-cost-effective alternatives. The anticipated entry of emerging agents with novel MOAs (e.g., Jak inhibitors) and/or more-convenient delivery formulations (e.g., oral formulations) will further impact the evolving treatment landscape and add greater complexity to market access.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • How do reimbursement terms for CD biologics vary across the EU5? How do payers regulate use of these premium-priced agents?
  • How do prescribing patterns for key CD therapies differ between and within EU5 countries, and to what extent does payer policy impact uptake?
  • How has the launch of biosimilars altered payer preferences and mandates, and what has the actual impact of biosimilar availability been on physician prescribing?
  • What key market access challenges do emerging CD agents face? What lessons have been learned, and what market access levers can drug developers take advantage of to optimize the positioning of their products?
