Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis – Access & Reimbursement – Detailed, Expanded Analysis – Top 5 European Markets
MARKET OUTLOOK
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is rapidly becoming an important public health issue in the top five European markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK). High prevalence of this multifaceted disease, coupled with a lack of approved pharmacotherapy and novel diagnostics on the horizon, presents a huge opportunity for drug manufacturers. With five agents currently in Phase III trials, and numerous products undergoing Phase II development, a number of highly anticipated launches are likely in the next decade. However, the potential cost of such a drug market will have a substantial impact on the tight healthcare budgets in Europe, such that payers will have to be convinced of the cost-effectiveness of treatments, and manufacturers may have to consider savvy pricing strategies. This research analyzes payer and prescriber perspectives on near-term emerging therapies for NASH, focusing on HTA considerations, reimbursement drivers, product positioning, and uptake potential.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What is the current treatment approach for NASH in the top European markets, and how, if at all, is this impacted by payer policy?
- To what extent are off-label therapies used for NASH? How do payers reimburse and control any such off-label prescribing? How does this vary between and within the countries under study?
- What are payer and prescriber perspectives on promising, but costly emerging agents such as Ocaliva? Do they consider the clinical benefit of these products to be worthy of premium price tags?
- What key market access challenges will manufacturers of novel NASH therapies face? What can they do to encourage optimal pricing and reimbursement terms, and to drive uptake?
