OHE has authored numerous papers on personalised medicine with contributions to value frameworks, innovations in pricing and cost effectiveness analyses.

This blog post is a joint publication with the UK Pharmacogenetics and Stratified Medicine Network.
 
The Office of Health Economics has made a number of important contributions to the understanding of the economics of stratified/precision/personalised medicines. We have contributed to improving the knowledge of both health care payers and the life sciences industry. This work promotes innovation by challenging the value of innovation, and facilitates decision making in order to improve the uptake of personalised medicine. The team has authored a number of peer reviewed papers and reports, some recent examples are cited below under three broad topics: value frameworks, innovations in pricing and cost effectiveness analyses.
 
Value frameworks
 
This strand of research considers new elements of value for personalised medicine, value frameworks, and how they could be included health technology assessment (HTA) methods. The papers explore the benefits of personalised medicine including the value of increasing the information available to patients to make informed decisions on treatment and their future lifestyle choices. There is a growing recognition that these benefits are not valued in current QALY-based HTA methods.

Innovations in pricing and market access agreements
 
This strand of research considers various pricing strategies to incentivise the R&D of personalised medicines and increase their uptake.  This includes incentivising combination therapies and companion diagnostics. This research analyses economic incentives and considers risk-sharing schemes to incentivise the life sciences industry (pharmaceutical and diagnostic manufacturers) and manage the risk for the payer.

Cost effectiveness analysis
 
This research generally considers applications of economic evaluation methods to personalised medicine adoption decisions.  These studies consider the incremental cost and additional benefit of genomic medicine, and evaluate the current evidence base to inform reimbursement decisions.
