How do international payers view surrogate endpoints in nephrology? We have the details.

YHEC's Stuart Mealing attended an international payer workshop in Amsterdam last week to discuss the use of surrogate endpoints from nephrology trials in HTA.

Find out what he said about the workshop below.
Blue and green graphic featuring a headshot of YHEC’s Stuart Mealing. The text says “Stuart Mealing, Director of Pharmaceutical Consulting”. There is a quote from Stuart: “It was really interesting and thought provoking to hear a range of views on the use of eGFR slope in the reimbursement evaluation of drugs in a nephrology setting. Delegates attended from all over the globe, with an incredible range of perspectives – from payers to regulators and even patients. As a group, we definitely made some progress in developing a consensus statement on this topic, and I look forward to attending future events and contributing to the final position paper.” The YHEC logo features in the bottom right corner.

The journey of developing and getting rare disease therapies to market is challenging.

In our latest blog, YHEC Project Director Andria Joseph explores a crucial piece of the puzzle: Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs). Read the full post: sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/y...
A graphic in green, white and blue. There is a photo of Andria Joseph. The text reads: “Andria Joseph. Project Director”. There is a quote from Andria: “Rare diseases often present with a wide range of symptoms that can vary substantially between individuals. Patient-reported outcomes can capture this variability from the patient’s perspective, providing a more thorough understanding of the disease’s impact... As such, patient-reported outcomes are crucial metrics for rare disease therapies.” The YHEC logo is in the bottom right hand corner.
