Oncology Unmet Medical Need Forum, 6-7 August 2012, Philadelphia, USA

Date: May-01-2012Payer & public health investment priorities to stimulate the development
of value-adding anti-cancer medicines

This will be a very unique conference that will allow public and private payers (i.e. health plans, Medicare, Medicaid, PBMs, HTA agencies, policy makers in the USA and internationally) and oncology healthcare providers to come together to present and discuss their views regarding their current and future unmet needs in oncology indications . This discussion will help bring fresh insight & discussion amongst key stakeholders to prevent the wasted development of "me-too" drugs in the coming years, and to encourage investment into therapies for indications that achieve budget-effective medical "innovation" and improve patient access to high-value medications. The event will also look at what the biopharma industry needs to do to integrate payer unmet needs into cancer R&D pipelines and generate clearer evidence of added-value, by hitting payer-focused endpoints and to develop advanced medications that improve real health outcomes.
