Vital Transformation has conducted two studies examining the impact of the proposed international reference pricing in Medicare Part D on the world-class innovative biotechnology sector in California and the United States.
Do CAR-T – Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell – therapies have the potential to revolutionise cancer care? These therapies are disrupting traditional concepts of immuno-oncology, manufacturing, delivery and value across Europe. However, for many, there remain a number of open questions that need to be addressed. This session highlighted the transformative potential of these therapies, and sceptical voices who will focus on the unknown variables and where current challenges lie.

This webinar presents original research by Vital Transformation that will be peer review published in Therapeutic Innovation and Regulatory Science, showing the devastating impact on R&D, Investments, and patients that will be caused by reference pricing in the United States.
With the increasing use of new regulatory tools, like the FDA’s breakthrough therapy designation, there are increasing demands for European health technology assessors (HTAs) to make an accurate assessment of the long-term value and performance of CAR-T therapies from smaller datasets and shorter outcomes. This webinar will highlight our recent publication in the BMJ, sponsored by ZIN, which showcases a novel approach to harnessing RWE and develops a longitudinal data set that can be used for effectiveness measures, even in orphan conditions. As well, we will kickoff our new research project in Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and describe how we will leverage our methodology to measure the effectiveness of the various options for treatment, both in emerging CAR-T treatments, as well as existing chemotherapy regimes and bone-marrow transplants.
Duane Schulthess, managing Director of Vital Transformation, was invited as an expert by POLITICO to participate in “Health Care 2024,” a survey-driven series of online debates in which POLITICO will explore how the European Union can best tackle health policy. In this installment of Health Care 2024 POLITICO asks: Can the EU gain benefits from sharing health data without weakening privacy — and if so, how?

The International Pricing Index: What will be the Impact on Patients, Outcomes, and Innovation? Wednesday, June 5, 2019 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM BIO International Convention - Philadelphia, PA Speakers Duane Schulthess Managing Director Vital Transformation Peter Young Venture [...]
Wednesday, June 5, 2019 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM BIO International Convention - Philadelphia, PA Following Vital Transformation's research on investment success factors for biotech companies released at the European Health Forum Gastein, this session will present original research modelling the potential impact both short and long term for patients, payers, and industry for such proposals, and show how the IPI can impact access and innovation broadly. As well, our panellists will place the IPI into the context of other models currently being investigated internationally such as value based payments, managed entry agreements, and adaptive pathways.
By CARMEN PAUN 4/9/19, © POLITICO PRO Healthcare U.S. biotechnology lobby BIO said the Trump administration’s proposal to peg the prices of certain drugs to a basket of mostly EU reference countries would lead to a “downward spiral” that would negatively affect the development of new medicines.
