The end of Covid-19 due to vaccines? By when do we have our lives back?

The covid-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on daily life of populations in the last year. Recently three pharmaceutical companies have communicated promising results of their vaccination candidates against Covid-19. Various countries in Europe have implemented vaccination programs or strategies how to set these up. Within the webinar those programs will be assessed utilizing a Covid-19 SEIR model (CovidSIM). The MArS expert team will show you in the webinar:
• Vaccination programs in Europe
• Implication of these programs from a simulation perspective
• An estimation of when the “old” normal might be the “new(set)” normal

The webinar will be held one week before Christmas. The first 24 registrations will receive a German “Gluehwein” as normally available on German Christmas markets.

EU HTA to come?

There is a big debate since years on the potential implementation of a joint HTA system across Europe. Core questions on such a system remains on how such an approach could look like and even more important be implemented. The webinar will summarize the current status of the debate and also suggest a way how such a joint HTA could be implemented in the European Union.

Price negotiation article published – link MArS negotiation boot camp

Price negotiation strategy is most of the times also linked to the available evidence and the potential bet on future data. Gladwell et al. have just published a nice simulation approach with the example in the UK which can also be utilized in the D-A-CH context. For the German AMNOG that approach is also relevant for orphan drugs earlier in the process also with the G-BA and for any pharmaceutical within the price negotiations with the GKV-SV.

The article is available in Value in Health.

MArS has long-lasting experience in (price) negotiations in the D-A-CH regions. We have also developed an internal and successful negotiation boot camp utilizing virtual reality. Contact us for a live demonstration.

What does this mean for the pharmaceutical and medical device industry? MArS has created a country profile update Austria – a summary is available below – the full report is available on request.
