Background:
Preapproval information exchange (PIE) has increased between biopharma companies and health care decision-makers (HCDMs) over the last several years. However, there still exists a gap in what HCDMs need and what biopharma companies are providing.
Objective:
To assess trends in the utilization of preapproval information by HCDMs and identify resources that may best support organizations in evaluating product information for formulary coverage prior to US Food and Drug Administration approval.
Methods:
A double-blinded, web-based survey was fielded to a research panel of HCDMs from FormularyDecisions from May 16, 2022, to May 23, 2022.
Results:
A total of 30 advisors were invited to take the survey and 17 responded to the survey, with representation largely from health plans (41%), pharmacy benefit managers (24%), and integrated delivery networks (12%) across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid lines of business. Of the respondents, 47% noted that the availability of preapproval information has shortened the time to make a formulary decision. Almost all respondents (90%) ranked the availability of clinical and economic information in a timely manner to evaluate budget impact as a top benefit for PIE. Respondents noted that Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) preapproval dossiers (88%), AMCP PIE webinars (76%), preapproval presentations/videos (65%), and posters and abstracts of clinical trials results (59%) were the main resources used to facilitate PIE.
Conclusions:
The availability of preapproval information for HCDMs (particularly content related to anticipated place in therapy and product pricing) has an impact on shortening formulary decision-making timelines.
