Webinar announced: How to design your medical device trial to achieve market access success.
SMART-TRIAL and Nordic HTA announced a new webinar titled How to Design your Medical Device Trial to Achieve Market Access Success, to be held Monday, May 18th, 2020 at 15:00 CET. The webinar is dedicated to introducing a proactive and holistic approach towards market access and health economics and the need for its early incorporation in clinical strategy.
The webinar will be presented by Pall Johannesson CEO of SMART-TRIAL and Anders Maerkedahl Partner at Nordic HTA. Together they will be sharing valuable insights on initiatives that teams should practice in order to deliver product value data that is expected by a wide range of stakeholders that are imperative for market access success.
To date, the clinical strategy in most MedTech companies has been focused on collecting data on safety and efficacy to obtain the applicable CE or FDA approvals. But today’s regulators, payers, and healthcare systems expect more. Market access and health economic evidence is often thought to be a separate activity, that doesn’t belong in clinical studies - which is why it’s often left out in early stages of clinical strategies. As a result many companies may risk having to redo studies to gather the necessary data with related costs to follow.
To illustrate product value to a wide group of stakeholders, clinical teams need to incorporate market access and health economic variables in their clinical strategy as well, this is the underlying driver behind the webinar.
“A strategic approach to data collection that is aligned with the value communication strategy, throughout the device life-cycle, can have a significant impact on the go to market success of a device. Hence, in addition to showing product safety and efficacy evidence, device companies have to demonstrate clinical and health economic value to key stakeholders to ensure market access success.”
