1. Study Background – The Value of Knowing

The Value of Knowing (VOK) is defined as the benefits created by almost certainly knowing

(100%) that you suffer from a pathology!


• The product:

• Ioflupane I 123 is a radiopharmaceutical indicated for striatal dopamine

transporter visualization

• Using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) brain imaging

• To assist in the evaluation of adult patients with suspected Parkinsonian

syndromes

• In these patients, Ioflupane I 123 may be used to help differentiate essential

tremor from Parkinsonian syndromes

• Ioflupane I 123 is an adjunct to other diagnostic evaluations


• SPECT images:Normal Abnormal


• Diagnostic need: to accurately differentiate movement disorders for appropriate treatment thus reducing the overall impact of inaccurate clinical diagnosis on patients, clinicians, caregivers, and other healthcare resources.

• Ioflupane I 123 promise: visualization of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in patients presenting with symptoms or signs suggestive of dopaminergic neurodegeneration is an accurate biomarker for Parkinsonian syndromes.

• Target market: newly presented patients with symptoms of dementia or movement disorders who remain uncertain after clinical diagnostic workup; patients previously clinically diagnosed whose diagnosis remains uncertain or with conflicting clinical signs.

Emotional well-being

Patients experience difficulties in expressing how they feel

Caregivers have difficulties understanding the patient

Most of the patients are anxious and uncertain during the period before diagnosis but every patient responds differently after diagnosis

Caregivers are confronted with the mixed emotions of the patients and indicate that it is hard to cope with that

Patients are distressed over the loss of independence

Caregivers are forced to take time away from their personal life or work

Caregivers observe the problems and difficulties of the patient, they need to convince the patient to find professional help

Patients are scared of unpredictable mobility issues / feel incapable

Caregivers do not always fully understand the limitations for the patient

Patients may not be aware of the impact on mobility and cognition or deny it

4. Study outcomes – The Value of KnowingThe Value of Knowing towards payersIF physicians found that the following effects may result directly or indirectly from knowing whether a patient is losing dopaminergic neurons or not. How big do you think that the impact would be on the reimbursement process?
