Rare diseases often face challenges in appropriate clinical trial design that offers a patient-centric approach, such as issues with the selection of endpoints; adequate size population samples; variations in control groups. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare and fatal genetic neuromuscular disorder that is caused by mutations in a gene located on the X chromosome. In this webinar, a clinician, patient/caregiver, and an industry representative will review how DMD clinical trials are designed, the endpoints most often used, and their relevance to inform decision making.

May 2024

Inequality aversion represents the degree of concern for reducing a specified inequality, which can also be interpreted as the value that a given stakeholder places on changes in health inequalities. Information on aversion to inequality is often expressed as inequality aversion parameters, such as the Atkinson index. Such parameters can be applied to forms of equity analysis, including distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) that enables researchers to evaluate both the equity and effectiveness of healthcare interventions and the broader impacts of healthcare decisions. Incorporating inequality aversion parameters in DCEA facilitates the exploration of the consequences of different social value judgments when comparing policy options that involve trade-offs between improving total health and reducing health inequality.

Value-Based Procurement (VBP) is a critical element of a value-based healthcare system, offering a transformative purchase approach that addresses underlying barriers to access to innovative treatments. Unlike the traditional procurement methods that focus primarily on cost containment, VBP considers multiple factors, including the unique circumstances of each country, such as local disease burden, health priorities, infrastructure, supply chain, ability to pay for healthcare, and budget processes.

Jul 2023

The chronic nature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving long-term clinical outcomes, as well as the associated high costs and healthcare resource utilization. This understanding is crucial for raising disease awareness, early identification of at-risk patients, timely initiation of treatment to prevent disease progression, and ultimately minimizing both clinical and economic burdens. In this webinar, experts will report the findings of the BRIDGE-MASH study, assessing clinical and economic outcomes in a cohort of patients with an unprecedented follow-up period of more than 40 years.

This webinar will cover the opportunities and challenges of collecting real-world data (RWD) and generating real-world evidence (RWE) for making better decisions in healthcare, specifically in Health Technology Assessment (HTA).

Oct 2024

The patient is at the center of survey, health preference, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) research. By their nature, hard-to-reach populations are difficult to engage in health research, as they may not be recruitable through commonly used channels or may need additional assistance with survey tasks or different modes of administration for PROs and preference tasks. With survey, preference and PRO research increasingly being conducted online due to time and budgetary efficiencies, the likelihood of successfully involving hard-to-reach populations becomes ever smaller. But when the research question concerns the hard-to-reach populations, how can we ensure that the results reflect their views?

Sep 2023

Stated preference surveys often involve communicating large volumes of complex and/or unfamiliar medical information to provide context for respondents. This webinar examines innovative uses of technology to advance discrete choice experiment (DCE) research within health preference research. They will explore the different technologies that can be integrated into preference surveys illustrating how technology can better inform and potentially engage respondents.

Jul 2023

With the public comment period open until July 2023, this webinar will also present ISPOR members with the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments that will help inform ISPOR’s response on the draft guidance 4 document.

Oct 2024

Drs. Inma Hernandez and Sean D. Sullivan will compare the recently published Medicare Maximum Fair Prices (MFPs) with net prices before negotiation to discuss the potential magnitude of savings achieved by negotiation. Drs. John O’Brien of the National Pharmaceutical Council and Greg Daniel of Eli Lilly will provide additional context for the MFPs and the estimated cost savings projections. This session will be highly relevant for professionals and researchers in market access, pricing, and HEOR.

May 2024

The webinar will begin with an introduction of the participants of the study to the ISPOR Rare Disease (RD) SIG, followed by an overview of the study objectives, its methodology and findings. The novel study explored the burden of different RDs across a range of countries, including low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). The diseases and countries were chosen to allow for a diverse and relevant representation of RD burden globally, aiming to capture cross-disease and cross-country unmet needs, and consequent areas for policy intervention.
