Case study
European HTA Submission Programme
Changing a US-oriented evidence generation program for European success
Situation
A US-headquartered biotech was developing a novel molecule in a pain indication.
Placebo-controlled pivotal studies met primary endpoints, consistent with FDA expectations, and the product was on track for NDA submission.
However, European payers expect evidence of value versus currently used therapies, so our client needed AESARA’s European access experts to inform their European access strategy
