Overview: Despite the common drugs approval by EMA in Europe, differences may arise between the European Countries. In fact, the final approval and the pharmaceutical reimbursement systems in health care are different from Country to Country. Therefore it is important to have knowledge of decision-makers and decision-making processes for coverage and payment of new and emerging pharmaceuticals in the single Country. 

The webinar will explain why some drugs approved by EMA cannot be available in Italy (and/or in other European Countries) at the end. 

Why should you attend: In Italy, the national regulatory authority establishes the general conditions of the reimbursement system at a national level and then implementation may arise at a regional level by governmental bodies. The National Healthcare System provides healthcare coverage to the Italian population, nevertheless there are limitations in the possibility to prescribe expensive drugs.

In particular, the introduction of new expensive drugs in the Oncology field has involved in heavy expenditures that have caused several limitations that may also differ on a Regional and/or on a Hospital basis.

During the webinar a description of Health Care System in Europe and in particular in Italy will be provided, with a special focus on the possibilities and on the limitations in the prescription of new agents. 

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • We will begin by describing the Health Care System in Italy which is completely different from other European Countries
  • We will look over the approval process in Europe (EMA)
  • Then we will focus on the approval process in Italy (AIFA)
  • We will also review the reimbursement and pricing negotiation process in Italy
  • Finally, an analysis of the possibilities and of the limitations in prescribing new anti-cancer drugs by the Oncologists will be provided

  • Companies and Professionals involved in the development of New Anti-cancer Drugs
  • Production Managers
  • Investors
  • CROs
  • Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and Coordinators (CRCs)
