Market access in Italy: Reforms at AIFA

Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

Clare Foy (Director – Global Market Access, Mtech Access) speaks to Italian market access expert Prof. Fabrizio Gianfrate (Professor of Health Economics and Outcomes Research [HEOR] and Ex-Payer) about the market access landscape in Italy, particularly regarding changes at the Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco (AIFA).
We explore:
- The nature of the Italian market and the reimbursement process
- Pricing and market access considerations when launching in Italy
- What the reforms at AIFA mean for market access and managed entry agreements
- How the AIFA changes specifically impact innovative products
- Changes to early access programmes in Italy
- Impact of these changes on international pricing, particularly with the introduction of the EU Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA)
