    Even though there are great accelerators and a lot of innovative product ideas, only very few products actually make it to the market and are commercially successful. What is the reason behind that and even more important how could this situation be improved?

    In this podcast episode, Dr. Stefan Walzer and Dr. Kasia Hein-Peters are discussing the necessity for an overarching business and company strategy approach. In health care this is sometimes referred to a lifecycle approach, the invented approach by Dr. Kasia Hein-Peters is called DIVE. Within these approaches, all stakeholders would always need to be captured and dealt with - clinical development, regulatory and payers.

    Companies launching oncology drugs sometimes struggle with existing reimbursement pathways and negotiations with payers, mainly in Europe, but also in other parts of the world. Evidence generation is the start of every drug development, but especially in oncology the design is important – not only that payers want to get a proof of a longer survival, but they also have further needs in their internal assessment.

  • This is a repost of a popular MAP, Market Access Podcast, from January 2023. 

    A strong evidence package is important as a solid base for health technology assessments and the following price negotiations with health care payers. It is widely agreed, that randomized controlled trials are the gold standard in HTA, but there are also strong advocates of real-world evidence as a complementary way to measure the effectiveness of treatments. 

    One of these advocates is Dr. Karen Facey and so Dr. Stefan Walzer brought her on the podcast and asked all the tough questions about real world evidence and the reality with payers around the world. Are there opportunities in such RWE data or is that a dead-end?
