The DIA Annual Meeting is the biopharmaceutical industry's largest, longest running, best-value, global, multidisciplinary event. This year's program offers learning opportunities for everyone and features the biggest names from industry, regulatory, and academia.
John Hornberger will deliver a presentation on Pharmacoeconomics, Cost Effectiveness, and Outcome Analysis for Personalized Medicine. Policy and evidence evaluation in the US by Medicare, third-party payers, and technology assessment groups are poised for dramatic changes in relation to innovative therapeutics and diagnostics products. Changing expectations and informational requirements by evaluators and regulators will require manufacturers develop, compile, present, and compare/contrast evidence of cost-effectiveness and demonstrated utility before positive coverage and pricing decisions are made. Cost-effectiveness analysis will shift from being an academic curiosity to an essential tool for health care decision making. The Session will (1) review models for evidence development, evaluation, and dissemination for genomic-based medicine products; (2) discuss approaches to meet the evolving needs of the various stakeholders; and (3) understand how innovative personalized medicine developers are articulating evidence, clinical performance, and value.
