This report provides an in-depth analysis of the market access climate in emerging pharmaceutical markets. Focusing in particular on the E7 countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, Indonesia, and Turkey), it charts recent developments, assesses their potential impact on market access, and pinpoints areas in which further change is anticipated.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey – known collectively as the BRIC/MIST countries – have been a source of welcome growth for a pharmaceutical industry struggling to generate significant gains in its traditional core markets.
Challenges for foreign pharma companies in relation to Indonesia’s pharma system include lengthy and variable approval periods, compulsory licenses, and counterfeits.
Prescribing by international non-proprietary name, pharmacist incentives, and the high price differential between the brands and their generic alternatives are the key drivers of the generics market in the UK.
Believed to be one of the great biotechnology breakthroughs, gene editing is a powerful tool in pharmaceutical research that could radically change how certain diseases are treated.
Payers were originally extremely worried about the potential cost burden of Entresto, however, the level of concern surrounding the drug is currently moderate as physician uptake has been lower than expected.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors Enbrel, Humira, and Remicade have long held dominant positions in the psoriatic arthritis market.
India is one of the most important emerging pharmaceutical markets, and the market is forecast to more than double between 2011 and 2017, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 16.1%.
Long-acting beta 2 agonist/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LABA/LAMA) combination inhalers have been gaining traction due to an expanding evidence base for their wider use, and competitive pricing.
Health technology assessments (HTAs) have become an integral part of procedures employed to inform new drug coverage and pricing decisions across Europe. Methodological approaches to HTA vary, however, while disparities are also apparent in the pertise and financial resources to conduct multidisciplinary assessments, and in the relative weight accorded to recommendations issued by national (or regional) HTA agencies (ICOM, 2017)
The prostate cancer market has become saturated in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) setting; the approval of second-generation antiandrogens, radiotherapies, and chemotherapies has resulted in a great deal of development targeting earlier stages of the disease.
Over the last two decades, clinical care of hemophilia has improved significantly, extending the life expectancy for this patient population closer to that of the general population. The emergence of virally inactivated plasma-derived clotting factors and then of recombinant clotting factor replacement therapy in the 1980s has revolutionized care for these patients.
As a supplement to our well-known quarterly Outlook report, Biomedtracker is pleased to present a longer-term look at some key late-stage drugs projected to hit the market in 2020.
Competition from drugs in the same class (with the same mechanism of action and treating the same disease) presents a clear challenge to a first-in-class market entrant. And the speed with which these competitors arrive impacts market dynamics, commercial strategies, and, increasingly, drug prices. Therapies that enjoy extended monopolies as sole entrants in a particular class have greater commercial flexibility in negotiating with payers. Multiple drugs in the same class give payers better leverage with which to negotiate rebates and discounts with drug companies.
The German generics industry is feeling the effects of recent efforts to control drug spending by exerting downward pressure on drug prices.
