Summary: At The Economist’s War on Cancer 2015 event on 20 October 2015 (http://www.economist.com/events-conferences/emea/war-cancer-london), EY’s Silvia Ondategui-Parra joined the panel discussion “The patient/payer debate—balancing clinical need and affordability.” The panel explored the ongoing tension between the soaring cost of cancer drugs and governments’ ability to fund them and raised the question, do we need an entirely new pricing model? This EY infographic was developed to highlight some of the key trends driving the debate.
Prescription Medicines - Costs in Context - October 2018PhRMA
This document discusses the costs and context of prescription medicines. It notes that while prescription drug spending is a small percentage of total healthcare costs, certain patients face rising out-of-pocket costs. It also outlines the significant costs and risks of developing new medicines, with the average drug taking over 10 years and $2.6 billion to develop. The document proposes reforms to help lower costs for patients while supporting continued research and development of new treatments.
Opportunities and Barriers in Pharmaceutical Pricing: Average Manufacturer Pr...Epstein Becker Green
Part 2 of a webinar series that examines the average manufacturer price (“AMP”) Final Rule and its effect on drug pricing and contracting. Hosted by an Epstein Becker Green and EBG Advisors.
The long-awaited issuance of the Final Rule addressing AMP under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program has provided clarity in some respects but left other issues open to interpretation. In the wake of the Final Rule, other regulatory developments are already showing signs of further impacting many of the same issues.
Using the AMP Final Rule as a baseline, we will address the evolution of some of the most significant issues affecting drug pricing and contracting. We hope you can attend one or both of the sessions in this two-part series.
In this session, Dr. Samuel R. Nussbaum, M.D., Strategic Consultant at EBG Advisors, and Lesley R. Yeung, Associate at Epstein Becker Green, will examine the pay-for-value and alternative approaches to pharmaceutical pricing. The speakers will discuss opportunities and barriers as well as highlight real-world examples.

Biopharma Sales Resilience through Economic RecessionHealth Advances
The document analyzes how sales of branded drug classes were impacted during the 2008/2009 economic recession. It hypothesizes that drug classes treating severe or acute conditions effectively with few alternatives would be most resilient. The analysis found biopharma generally more resilient than healthcare, though sales faced pressure from rising uninsured/Medicaid populations and tighter payer management. Drug classes addressing less severe issues or with low-cost options required ensuring continued access.
The document discusses approaches to drug pricing and access in various countries. It provides details on Health Canada's proposal for expanded international reference pricing, including the criteria for selecting reference countries. The document also examines the impact of international reference pricing on product introduction delays and launch sequencing. It analyzes mechanisms for price setting and reimbursement across different countries. Finally, it touches on reservation prices in negotiations and Germany's multi-stage process for drug reimbursement decisions.
Prescription Medicines Costs in Context October 2020PhRMA
This document discusses the costs and affordability of prescription medicines in the United States. It notes that while spending on prescription medicines accounts for only 14% of total health care spending, patients face high and rising out-of-pocket costs for medicines. While most medicines sold in the US are generics, brand name medicines face significant price negotiations and rebates paid to insurers and pharmacy benefit managers that often do not lower costs for patients. The document outlines reforms to make medicines more affordable and accessible for patients.

Prescription Medicines Costs in Context January 2020PhRMA
This document discusses the costs and context of prescription medicines. It notes that while prescription drug spending represents 14% of total healthcare spending and a small portion of Medicaid spending, it has enabled breakthrough treatments for chronic diseases. While brand drug prices grew by 0.3% in 2018 after rebates, spending on other healthcare services is projected to grow 5 times faster than prescription drug spending through the next decade. The document also outlines how generics have reduced costs significantly, providing $1.99 trillion in savings over 10 years, and how biosimilars are expected to reduce brand drug sales by $95 billion from 2019-2023 through increased competition.
10 Essential Facts About Medicare and Prescription Drug SpendingKFF
Total US prescription drug spending is projected to grow from $298 billion in 2014 to $597 billion in 2025. Medicare spending on prescription drugs grew from $205 billion in 2005 to $341 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $597 billion in 2025. The top 10 drugs by Medicare spending in 2015 accounted for 79% of total Medicare Part D spending, with Harvoni alone accounting for 5.1% of spending. Average annual growth in Medicare Part D spending per enrollee is projected to be 15% from 2016 to 2026.
How do we see the healthcare's digital future and its impact on our lives?Jane Vita
"Healthcare is undergoing major changes spurred on by, but not limited to, technology.
Digitalisation is changing the way we think about health, what taking care of it really entails, our personal role in healthcare systems and the way we interact with technology in the context of health.
In many ways, we are entering a post-institutional age of increased personal responsibility, which presents healthcare service providers and other players in the field with major opportunities and great risks. Technology has the potential to empower people and help them become more active in the management of their and their families’ health. This will change the relationship of the patient and the caregiver in profound ways." Mirkka Länsisalo

This document summarizes information about prescription drug costs and development. It discusses how medicines have transformed treatment for diseases like hepatitis C and cancer. Developing new treatments takes over 10 years and $2.6 billion on average, with only 12% of drug candidates being approved. Medicines help avoid expensive medical services and provide major savings to the healthcare system. While drug costs have risen, they account for a stable share of overall healthcare spending and are projected to grow in line with other healthcare costs. Many factors influence drug prices, including discounts, rebates, and competition from generics.

Summary: Even in a time of high biopharma valuations, adopting an activist mentality adds rigor to capital allocation and strategic decision-making, improving not just returns to shareholders but long-term value creation. Therefore, biopharma management teams and boards of directors should proactively assess the “fitness” of their capital allocation strategies and their alignment with operational performance goals by taking an outsider’s view of the business even when times are good — and before a material stumble provides a compelling reason for an outsider to act.

This document discusses regulatory inefficiencies surrounding companion diagnostics and laboratory developed tests (LDTs) in the United States. It uses the case study of Genentech's drug MPDL3280A and its companion diagnostic to show that the FDA thoroughly regulates companion diagnostics but provides no oversight of clinical validity for LDTs. This allows multiple competing diagnostic tests to be used without proof of efficacy. The document also compares healthcare systems and technology assessment processes in the US, UK, and France to illustrate decentralized decision making in the US compared to centralized bodies in other countries.
This document provides information about Dr. Paul Cornes and his work in oncology. It discloses that Dr. Cornes receives a salary from the UK National Health Service and has received honoraria from several pharmaceutical companies. The bulk of the document discusses the costs of cancer to individuals and societies and highlights both challenges and areas of progress in cancer treatment, including improved survival rates due to innovations in targeted therapies and monoclonal antibodies.
The document summarizes healthcare systems in the United Kingdom and Germany. It discusses funding models for prescription drugs in England, including Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It also describes the Cancer Drugs Fund in England and reforms to drug pricing in Germany under the AMNOG process.
This research explores the feasibility of introducing an Outcome-Based Payment approach for new cancer drugs in England. A literature review explored the current funding landscape in England, the available evidence on existing OBP schemes internationally, and

Each pound invested in cancer-related research by taxpayers and charities in the UK returns around 40 pence annually to the UK economy. This study estimated the economic benefits of public and charitable funding for cancer research in the UK between 1970-2009. It found that this investment of £15 billion produced health benefits valued at £124 billion for UK patients from 1991-2010 through reduced cancer incidence, early detection from screening, and improved survival. Accounting for the average 15 year time lag between investment and health impacts, as well as the proportion of research attributable to the UK, the study estimates cancer research has generated a 10% rate of return. Including indirect economic spillovers, the total estimated annual rate of return is 40%, meaning
This document discusses cancer screening and treatment costs in Ireland. It notes that Ireland has free screening programs for breast, cervical, and bowel cancers but with some age and frequency restrictions compared to England. Cancer drug costs are very high which poses challenges for health systems with fixed budgets. While cancer screening and drugs can extend life, they also risk overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The document examines ways to balance cancer spending with costs for other healthcare needs.
There is ongoing debate around the high costs of cancer care and whether these costs are sustainable. Various stakeholders are developing value frameworks to better evaluate the benefits of new cancer treatments relative to their costs. Key value frameworks include those from NCCN, ASCO, and ICER, which incorporate factors like clinical benefits, toxicity, and cost. These frameworks aim to help guide treatment decisions and discussions around the value of different options between physicians and patients. However, some feel the existing frameworks do not fully capture all relevant factors in defining value in oncology.

Cancer Clinical Trials_ USA Scenario and Study Designs.pdfProRelix Research
Clinical trials in oncology are vital for the advancement of cancer treatments and
care. The US is at the forefront of these clinical trials, with many different study
designs being used to assess the efficacy and safety of new treatments. This article
will explore the current state of oncology clinical trial services in the US, as well as
discuss different types of study designs that are commonly used. It will provide
insight into how these trials are conducted, what data is collected, and how this
information can be used to improve patient care.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released
several guidance documents over the years through the Oncology Center
of Excellence to support the development of oncologic treatments and
diagnoses. Furthermore, information on the clinical trials for the treatment
of different types of cancer or specific interventions can be found on the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) website and Clinical Trials. Currently,
ClinicalTrials.gov, a website maintained by the National Library of
Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contains
listings of publicly and privately sponsored trials and includes information
on 91,937 studies related to cancer indicating the high volume of
research being conducted in this field.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the leading
cause of death worldwide, with a death rate of one in six in 2020 (1).
Aside from the high mortality rate and morbidity associated with cancer, it
also negatively impacts the quality of life and poses a significant financial
burden on patients and payers making it imperative to develop effective
treatments for the disease. According to Global Cancer Observatory
(GLOBACAN), the United States accounted for 13.3% of all estimated
new cases of cancer in 2020 (2). In 2020, the single leading type of
cancer in the United States was breast cancer (11.1%) followed by lung
cancer (10%), prostrate (9,2%), colorectum (6.8%), and melanoma of the
skin (4.2%). Despite the significant prevalence of cancer and numerous
clinical trials conducted for oncology treatments, data have shown an
almost 95% attrition rate for anticancer drugs from Phase I trials until
marketing authorization. Various factors such as inaccurate preclinical
models, lack of suitable biomarkers in clinical trials, and a disconnect
between industry, academia, and regulators are responsible for the high
attrition rate (3). Therefore, it is vital to develop suitable study designs
and protocols for candidate molecules such that they obtain regulatory
approval and can be marketed. In addition to these challenges, the
development of anti-cancer agents comes at a monumental cost of an
estimated $2.8 billion. Several factors such as the choice of relevant
endpoints, the choice of appropriate biomarkers that are guided by tumor
biology, and careful patient selection are expected to improve the overall
fate of oncologic agents in the clinical trial phase
This document outlines the rationale, objectives, hypotheses, study design, and planned analyses for investigating the potential association between calcium channel blocker (CCB) use and cancer risk. The study will be conducted using multiple epidemiological databases from the UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, and Germany. The specific objectives are to conduct descriptive studies, a population-based cohort study, and nested case-control analyses to compare cancer outcomes between CCB users and non-users. The primary outcome of interest is risk of all cancers combined, and secondary outcomes include breast, prostate, and colon cancers analyzed separately.
The document discusses the issue of "financial toxicity" experienced by cancer patients as a result of expensive treatments. It defines financial toxicity as the financial burden and distress from medical costs. While policy solutions are important, they take time, so individual coping strategies must also be addressed. The review covers how financial toxicity impacts health outcomes, examines patient coping and the role of maladaptive coping, and provides management strategies for oncologists such as discussing costs and available resources with patients.
Precision Medicine in Oncology InformaticsWarren Kibbe
This document summarizes a presentation on precision medicine in oncology from an informatics perspective. It discusses the goals of precision oncology to target cancer treatments based on a patient's individual tumor characteristics. Major initiatives are described, including the NCI-MATCH trial which assigns cancer therapies based on a tumor's molecular abnormalities. The presentation outlines efforts through the Precision Medicine Initiative to expand genomic cancer trials, understand and overcome resistance to therapies through additional tumor profiling and preclinical models, and establish an integrated national cancer database.
Lexington Health Practice 'The future of Market Access' Interactive PamphletEmily Stevenson

The value partnership between NHS, industry and other providersGS1 UK
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Richard Greville on the value partnership between the NHS, pharmaceutical industry, and other healthcare providers in the UK. It discusses several challenges facing the NHS, including the important role of medicines, issues with medicines optimization, and the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS). It outlines efforts through the PPRS and a medicines optimization program between NHS England and the industry group ABPI to improve patient outcomes and extract more value from healthcare spending. Specific initiatives discussed include implementing safety features like serialization and tamper evidence on medicines to protect the supply chain.
Observational research can impact clinical decision making for cancer treatment by providing real-world evidence to complement randomized controlled trials, which have limitations. Observational studies capture long-term outcomes of various treatments in everyday practice. However, their findings are more susceptible to bias. To strengthen observational research, standards are needed for electronic health data collection and reporting, while prioritizing patient privacy and rigorous methodologies. With these improvements, observational data can better inform estimates of cancer progression and treatment effects.
World Cancer Day, established by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) in 2000, is observed every year on February 4th. Over 10 million people die each year from cancer, more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. This makes cancer a leading cause of death with a global impact; cancer is not specific to any one geographic region or any one demographic. Cancer can affect anyone of any age, but we are moving towards extraordinary medical breakthroughs in the fight against cancer...

The theme for this quarter is momentum meets uncertainty. The upward trend in crude oil, natural gas, LNG and refined product prices that began in Q1 continued into Q2. Crude oil markets began the quarter just below $100/bbl and have closed below that level on only two days since late April. As we begin Q3, there are increasing concerns about the health of the global economy and how that might affect oil and gas demand.
Quarterly analyst themes of oil and gas earnings, Q1 2022EY
Financial questions continued to attract the most attention of the analyst community, with major focus on how companies will respond to the war in Ukraine, elevated commodity prices and improved cash flows. Strategic questions focused on how the changing geopolitical environment will affect capital allocation in the short and long term. Operationally, all eyes were on the capacity of companies to step up asset utilization and bring new projects to market quickly. Explore the latest EY quarterly analysts themes.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook, Q2 | April 2022EY
The theme for this quarter is rearrangement. The loss, or potential loss, of Russian oil and gas supplies is forcing producers, refiners and traders to rethink the flow of crude oil and refined products from the wellhead to the gas pump in light of sanctions, potential sanctions and the risk of reputational damage. Countries, companies and consumers will all be searching for ways to adapt, and the outcome of the race to bring alternatives to market could alter the global energy landscape for years to come.
It is likely crude oil and LNG prices will remain elevated for some time. The process of diverting Russian oil through countries unwilling to sanction it will take time and there is little indication OPEC members are willing (or able) to increase production to make up for the loss of Russian crude. Spare capacity sat at 3.7 mbpd at the end of 2021, just above where it was in January 2020. Currently, sanctioned Venezuelan and Iranian production (about 3 mbpd below their peak) could fill the gap, but political and commercial obstacles remain. At today’s prices, US shale production is attractive, but the fastest the industry has been able to grow is between 1mbpd and 2mbpd per year. The LNG infrastructure was already stretched before the war in Ukraine and there is little prosect of finding new supplies soon.
As the largest buyer of Russian energy, Europe will be the epicenter. There is a deeply embedded bias there in favor for renewable energy, and the current crisis is certain to result in an all-out effort to accelerate the build-out of wind and solar power. The capacity to add new green energy is limited though by the project pipeline and supply chains for solar panels and wind turbines, and it is likely that much of the shortfall will be made up with the new LNG infrastructure.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlookEY
As the last quarter of the second pandemic year draws to a close, we continue to see heightened contrast
between the medical and economic points of view. While COVID-19 cases are close to their all-time highs, so
are equity prices, and a leading investment bank declared (on 2 December, 2021 after the Omicron outbreak in South Africa) that it was “optimistic about the possibility of a vibrant 2022.” When news of the variant hit in
late November, the markets were rocked by the prospect of yet another round of local mobility restrictions and
an interrupted return to normal international travel patterns, on top of the Biden Administration’s announced
release of 50 million barrels of crude from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. So far though, with OPEC
standing by its planned gradual return to normal production, oil prices have stabilized, albeit below where they
were in mid-November. Henry Hub prices, always at the mercy of the weather, responded predictably to a
warmer-than-normal early winter in the US, falling from US$6.60/MMBtu in early October to below
US$4.00/MMBtu by mid-December. In Europe and Asia, following a short reprieve at the start of the quarter,
piped natural gas prices have spiked again on concerns triggered by Russian troop buildups on the Ukraine
border and uncertainties surrounding the Nordstream 2 pipeline. Looking forward, OPEC and the U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) in their last forecasts of the year both projected that 2022 oil demand would
be above what we saw in 2019. Although time will tell if those forecasts are realized and other events could
intervene, the response to new virus outbreaks is well-practiced and the trade-off between public health and
economic reality has tipped toward a cautiously optimistic view.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook, Q2 April 2021EY
The theme for this quarter is governed. Apparent market balance at prices that could be sustainable is the product of calculated choices by market leaders and the cooperation of those who follow them. Economics played their customary role as well, with capital scarcity in North America taking about 2 million barrels per day out of the market, about half of the remaining gap in demand. While inventories are close to their pre-COVID-19 levels, there is still uncertainty. The resolution of the pandemic is in sight, but timing is unclear. Vaccine distribution in the US is having an impact but Europe is struggling to contain a third wave of infections. The taps have opened on economic stimulus, but it remains to be seen if policymakers have done enough or if they have overshot the mark.
The shape of the crude oil forward curve has fundamentally changed since the end of the last quarter. In late December of last year, the Brent forward curve was gradually increasing while today, the curve is backwardated. This is a clear sign that the market sees a short-term dynamic that is disconnected from the medium-to-long-term fundamentals. The lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains to be seen. While many have opined that COVID-19 marks a turning point in energy transition, the IEA recently released a five-year forecast of oil demand that shows steady growth, albeit at rates that are below historical expectations.
Gas markets are a paradox. At the Henry Hub and at LNG destinations, demand grows, investment lags and prices will occasionally attract attention. Traders, so far though, are unconvinced and futures prices don’t indicate imminent scarcity at any link in the value chain.

We enter 2021 on a note of cautious optimism for global health, the world economy, and the oil and gas markets. The first weeks of December brought approval in the US and the UK of the first of several COVID-19 vaccines. The speed with which vaccine development occurred is unprecedented, but certainly welcome. In the weeks following the early November announcement of 90+% effectiveness by the manufacturer of the first approved vaccine, the price of WTI crude oil increased by US$10/bbl to US$48/bbl, the highest level since early March. Sustainability hasn’t returned yet, and whatever time it takes to get the world to normal, it will take even longer for normalization within the oil and gas markets. Inventories remain at historically high levels and, optimistically, it will take until April before inventory returns to levels observed in the preceding five years. That’s an estimate, and there has obviously been some difficulty properly calibrating the expectations of how balance will return and how long it will take. In late November, OPEC met to adjust its output plans because of the anemic rebound in demand. In mid-December, the IEA lowered its demand forecast for 2021 due mostly to continued sluggishness in aviation fuel demand.
A mild winter has interrupted a recovery in North American natural gas prices after a run-up motivated by curtailed capital expenditures, upstream activity and production. After an initial meltdown, with cargo cancellations and dramatic price reversal, LNG markets have made a remarkable comeback, and the spread between Asia and Henry Hub has reached a level we haven’t seen in almost three years. It may be the case that interruption in FIDs has brought us to the cusp of a balance that can support reliable returns.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlook (Q4, October 2020)EY
Oil and gas prices have recovered steadily from their lows and are relatively stable, but that stability is supported by the combination of purposeful withholding of production by oil-producing countries and economic stress on upstream independents. Oil prices closed the quarter roughly where they started it, while refining spreads were down slightly. LNG spreads were substantially higher at the end of Q3 than they were at the beginning of the quarter but are still roughly half of what is generally thought of as sustainable.
Going forward, the market will be looking closely at how the economy and demand respond to new developments with respect to a potential COVID-19 vaccine and the US election.
EY Price Point: global oil and gas market outlookEY
As we close the second quarter of 2020, in most of Europe and Asia, the first (and hopefully last) wave of the COVID-19 crisis appears to be abating. In the parts of the US where the virus hit early, the profile has largely matched Europe’s, while in other parts, the urge to reopen businesses has trumped the desire to contain the virus and uncertainty looms. In the developing world, the crisis has just begun, but without the economic headroom and resources necessary to contain it. As the crisis unfolded, the effect on oil and gas demand has been predictable but difficult to gauge precisely and therefore difficult to manage.
Oil prices have crept up steadily as production has been curtailed through coordinated action (OPEC+) and because of economic reality (unconventional oil in North America). That trend has been subject to momentary spasms when bad news hit the market. It would be understandable if traders were nervous, and it seems that they are. Although nowhere near where it was at the peak of the crisis, option implied volatility is still at historically high levels. Gas markets, without the benefit of coordination on the supply side, continue to deal with the market implications of storage at or near capacity. Interfuel competition in power generation has always provided something of a floor, but those lows have been, and will continue to be, tested.

VENEERS: YOUR SMILE'S BEST KEPT SECRET.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Veneers are a transformative dental solution that offers a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality, making them a popular choice for enhancing smiles. These thin, custom-fabricated laminates are primarily constructed from either high-grade porcelain or composite resin materials, both selected for their superior aesthetic and functional properties. Veneers are meticulously bonded to the labial surfaces of anterior teeth, providing a definitive solution for a variety of dental conditions, including intrinsic discoloration, enamel defects, minor malalignments, diastemas, and structural deficiencies such as chips or fractures. The preparation for veneer placement typically involves minimal reduction of the tooth structure, preserving the maximum amount of healthy tooth while allowing for optimal adhesive bonding. This conservative approach is pivotal in maintaining tooth vitality and structural integrity. The precise customization and application of veneers require a thorough understanding of dental materials, occlusion, and esthetic principles, underscoring their role as a sophisticated and effective treatment modality in contemporary prosthodontic practice.
The link between skin conditions and mental health issues can be common; problems like dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis often connect with psychological factors. Mind care is crucial for addressing these skin disorders effectively and improving overall well-being.
