1:30 pm Navigating the Need for Substantial Evidence Beyond Small, Initial Trial Populations or Limited Follow-Up Periods to Tackle Evidence Gaps & Maintaining Access to Patients
Synopsis
- The single trial: absence of comparative data sets to understand the added benefit vs standard of care
- Beyond market access: maintaining access to patients, re-evaluations and reward evidence
