Managed entry agreements (MEAs) describe a range of mechanisms by which pharmaceutical firms and payers share some of the financial and clinical risk associated with the introduction of a new medicine. When facing squeezed budgets, payers demand proof of superior outcomes at the lowest possible cost, but since neither they nor the manufacturers want to restrict access to new treatments, MEAs – including coverage-with-evidence development set-ups, pay-for-performance deals, or simply price-volume agreements or discounts – have multiplied, especially in Europe. Most are discount-only or price-volume deals, and do not directly help determine a drug’s value. This analysis focuses primarily on outcomes-based MEAs, which are far trickier to design and execute but which generate evidence of a treatment’s real-world effectiveness. Drug firms seeking an alternative to deep discounting and payers seeking value for money should heed the lessons learned from current and past outcomes-based MEAs.
