HTA and market access issues for a complex intervention
5th HTA network meeting, Paris 29th October 2015

For the purpose of illustrating these challenges through a concrete example, a complex intervention is presented:
A pulmonary heart sensor for the telemonitoring of heart failure patients (CardioMEMS) produced by the company St. Jude Medical

Background
It is important that methods which will be publicly funded in a country are effective and cost-effective.
To assure this we have implemented an EAA-HTA system to make sure we select and assess the relevant new methods before they are implemented and paid for in the clinical setting.

Objectives
To evaluate effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of new methods (drugs, medical devices, procedures) before implementation/coverage in the specialist health care.

![Page 10: HTA and market access issues for a complex interventionec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files/technology_assessment/docs/ev... · HTA and market access issues for a complex intervention](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040420/5e0443ca3e2904164e5d18ee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Structure of the scoping meeting
One to two informal meetings, more if necessary
2 hours
Discussions regarding PICO
Questions regarding the evidence package to be submitted including implications for the HE analysis
Formal questions regarding the template to be used

Too little time

Participation of stakeholders in the
subsequent review process
Only clarifying questions asked to the manufacturer during the 180 days assessment period
We use clinicians as experts during the process
We might also use stakeholders from patient organisations if needed

Management of Conflict of Interest
The assessment report will be published in full by NOKC when final
All documentation submitted will be subject to transparency
All participating assessors and reviers have to complete CoI templates before comencing work
Participants having CoI with the current assessment will be removed from the project

Economic modeling
Models are an oversimplification of reality – which simulate outcomes and costs over time
We do it to better investigate uncertainties both on costs and outcomes
Needs assumptions and extrapolations from clinical data
Timehorizon should be long enough to capture all relevant differences between intervention and compartor due to treatment

Future improvements and learnings
To better select the most important new methods for assessment
• Large patient groups
• Costly methods (large budget impact)
• Inequalities in health
• Differences in usage to be expected
• Use input from stakeholders also in the selection process
