He says: “In a previous role as Regulatory Affairs Manager at a small Biotech I have first-hand experience of the benefits that SME status can bring. It is pleasing to see that the EMA continues to recognise SMEs as important actors in innovation and the development of new medicinal products. Incentives are provided to help SMEs overcome some of the financial and administrative hurdles associated with bringing a product to market.” To find out more about how your company could benefit from SME status, please read our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eivjkndV #RegulatoryAffairs #SMEs #EMA

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐎𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐮𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 🌍 As the World Orphan Drug Congress in Barcelona concludes, Sven Tops and Frank Vanderdonck reflect on some key takeaways from the conference. Attending the event was a great opportunity to listen to and contribute to discussions on evidence needs and standards for rare and ultra-rare diseases: - Flexibility in evidence standards: Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies often have rigorous evidence thresholds, yet randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are often challenging or unfeasible for many rare or ultra-rare diseases. Pragmatic evidence approaches—such as case reports, registries, and natural disease history studies—should be recognised as viable alternatives. - Adapting payment models : Linking pragmatic evidence generation directly to payment models could ensure faster access for patients who urgently need new and highly specialised treatments. This would support great access and timely care without compromising the evidence base. - Incorporating patient and caregiver voices: It's essential that the patient and caregiver perspectives are actively included in evidence generation and data presentation, especially within HTA evaluations. Their insights are invaluable in ensuring a holistic understanding of disease impact. While data can show the efficacy of a treatment, patients and caregivers provide an important insight into how that treatment will impact daily life, whether it improves their quality of life or addresses unmet needs. - Championing a European Action Plan for rare diseases: The keynote panel highlighted the need for political commitment and shared accountability across the EU to drive the plan’s success and ensure meaningful impact. There was a focus on the need to align existing regional, national, and supranational initiatives in order to promote continued innovation and access to new treatments. We are looking forward to seeing how these perspectives can help shape the future of rare disease treatment in Europe, and greater patient access. #WorldOrphanDrugCongress2024 #WODC #RareDiseases #HTA

Wim Neckebroeck shares his reflections on last week's ATMP Symposium by EMA 👇
REFLECTIONS ON THE ATMP SYMPOSIUM BY EMA Last week I had the pleasure of attending the #ATMP Symposium organized by the European Medicines Agency alongside Domien Verdonck. It was an enriching experience, particularly the fireside chat with previous and current #CAT chairs that addressed a crucial question: “𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐓𝐌𝐏 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬?” Here are the 4 key recommendations : 📜 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬: whether you are from academia or a startup company, it is essential to be fully aware of the various regulations and milestones that need to be achieved. ⏳ 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: it was emphasized that rushing through the development process can be detrimental. Inadequate and incomplete clinical data invariably lead to delays in #marketaccess. 💡 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭: understanding that the European Medicines Agency and FDA may have different requirements. Engaging in early dialogue with the European Medicines Agency can help align your development process with their expectations and avoid potential pitfalls. ⚖️ 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 😀 : the speakers highlighted the need for caution when applying policies to #ATMPs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and developers must be adaptable and considerate of the unique challenges each product may present. Feel free to reach out to AxTalis , MAP Patient Access Limited to learn more about the #regulatory and #marketaccess challenges specific to #ATMP development.
