A new publication in the European Journal of Health Economics identifies potential challenges of ATMPs in view of current health technology assessment (HTA) methodology and explores potential solutions to these challenges. Three key topics are explored: uncertainty, discounting, and health outcomes and value. A series of recommendations are proposed.
OHE will be hosting two lunchtime seminars in October – one on the 22nd with Steven Pearson, ICER, and another on the 31st with Janel Hanmer, University of Pittsburgh.
