1. Symposium Objectives

This meeting on the topic of HTA is envisaged as a two-stage process, with a second symposium in 2017 on a more consensual approach to the new solutions discussed throughout 2016. For this 1st meeting, the overarching aim is to gain common understanding and agreement on the determinants of value, and of the assessment and appraisal methods for orphan medicinal products, by:

Bringing all participants to a common understanding of issues/challenges of access to rare disease therapies (webinar/pre-reads to be circulated before meeting);
Sharing existing and new processes to recognise which ones work best;
In view of the 2017 symposium, agreeing on a structured approach forward and a set of solutions to explore.
