good outpatient pharmacy coverage”

Prior to PCI
We Will Discuss
• The “other” stakeholders
• Starting at the End
• Looking beyond the obvious
• Competing on value, not novelty
The “Other Stakeholders”
Care Providers
Academia
Physicians
Labs
Products & Services
Intermediaries
Consumers
Governments
Devices
StatesDisease Management
Insurers
Global Regulation Regional Variation
Medicare -Medicaid
Basic Researchers
Employers
Insured
Seniors
Women
Children
Unions
Uninsured
Nurses
Neither orderly nor rational, multiple stakeholders impact R&D with
conflicting data needs
Financial Markets
Assisted Living
Nursing Homes
Med Tech
Bio TechPatients
Pharma
CMS, State Medicaid
Start with the End in Mind

Data during development creates a “value” proposition to inform technology investment decisions

What if the Indication was “Fatigue”?
Different Prisms, Different Data
“What don’t they want?”
“Current stumbling blocks?”
“What they are willing to consider?”
“What’s promising given current perspectives?”
“How diverse are data needs?”
• Actuary• Employers• Epidemiology Research• Health Information Technology• Health Outcomes Research• Managed Care & Government Affairs• Managed Markets• Patient Advocacy• Pharmacy Benefit Design• Policy & Public Health• Reimbursement Policy• Research & Development• Specialty Pharmacy
Payers, Purchasers, Policymakers
• What they don’t want?• Paying for treatment requiring evidence that doesn’t exist
• What do they regard as stumbling blocks?• “Big enough to care about, but small enough to do something about?”• “Will it impact overall healthcare resource utilization?”• “Any guidelines?”• “Is this a lifestyle-modifiable condition?”• “Will this prompt disease-mongering? – it’s been done before!”
• What are they willing to consider?• Controlled and observational studies• Outcomes (direct, indirect, HRQOL, productivity)• Universally--- “bring me in prior to approval!”
Multiple Sclerosis – “Limiting Access if Value Uncertain”
Diverse Policies
Specialist Rx Only
Prior Authorization (+Re-authorization)
Tier Placement (~ 60%)
Require affirming benefit before and after therapy (~40%)
ADHD – “The Better the Data the Less the Management”
Strattera will face low reimbursement from HMOs. Parma Business Week
2003 JUN 9 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --Decision Resources finds that Eli Lilly's Strattera
will face low or nonexistent reimbursementfrom HMO pharmacy directors…
“Out of pocket expenses range from $40-$230/ month across a
range of possible medications…and can substitute a generic without
physician permission”

High Interest
Fatigue impact on cost drivers uncertain (Reimer et al, 2007; Wu et al, 2007;
Leibson et al, 2001)
“Interaction effects” (Page et al,2016)
Many Tools Control Utilization (Fail-First strategy, Preferred List, Co-insurance,
Co-pay)
Alzheimer’s Disease – “Looking Beyond the Patient”
Opportunities
Mild cognitive impairment(Zhu et al, 2013)
Informal care (Jönsson et al, 2006;Deb et al, 2017)
Depression, resilience, distress in caregivers (Lavretsky et al, 2010; Abreu
et al, 2018)
Schizophrenia – “Episodes of Care”
“Off the radar” for Some Stakeholders, Many Questions by Others
Fatigue entwined with Cognitive Impairment, Reduced Physical Activity?
Contribution to metabolic syndrome (CV outcomes)?
Poor compliance (institutionalization)?
Episodes of care (utilization)?
Depression – “Interest, but not where expected”
High Interest
Commercial PlansNon-Psychiatric Utilization (minor
somatic complaints including fatigue; Katon et al, 2001; Greenberg et al,
2015)
EmployersAbsenteeism, Presenteeism
(Druss et al, 2000; Cocker et al, 2014; Evans-Lacko and Knapp, 2016)
A Portfolio of Initiatives
The Rise of RWE
Accessible Cost Drivers in Development
No (minimal) Additional Expenditures
• Using Micro-environments (IDN)• The "big five in the EU“• Within study claims analysis• Piggybacking• Compendia
Additional Expense
• Longitudinal cohort, screen failure patients• Research Center (direct-to-patient call Center)
• If it’s after filing, it’s too late• Breakthrough?• “Novelty makes me nervous”• Patients in deep end of the swimming pool?• Practice topology as a prognostic factor?• Outcomes, not just measures?• Complementarity?• Budget impact vs cost effectiveness?• Piggy-back or Observational?• A publication package (adoption; access)
Systems/Provider Perspective: What are we Currently Doing and How is it
Working?
“Requires an alternative definition of translational research, demonstrating the value of an
intervention in the context of it’s novelty.”
