Regulatory Approvals to HTA Recommendations Outcome and Timing - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
The Relationship of Conditional Regulatory Approvals to HTA Recommendations Outcome and Timing Pharmaceutical Policy Concurrent Session B3 Oral Presentation Monday, April 15, 2019 Special Thanks to: Jesmine Cai, Tina Wang, and Neil
Background
Over the last decade, there is increasing use of facilitated regulatory pathway (FRP) by regulatory agencies to expedite the review of important new treatments for serious illnesses or addressing unmet medical need
Facilitated Regulatory Pathways Regulatory pathway designed to facilitate availability, review and/or approval of medicines where there is an unmet medical need by providing alternatives to standard regulatory review routes
ARE HTA RECOMMENDATIONS ALIGNED WITH FRPs TO ENABLE TIMELY ACCESS TO MEANINGFUL NEW MEDICINES?
Study objective
Examples of Facilitated Regulatory Pathways
US FDA: ‐ Accelerated approval ‐ Breakthrough therapy designation ‐ Fast track ‐ Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy Designation (RMAT) ‐ Priority review designation ‐ Orphan designation ‐ Rare pediatric disease priority review voucher ‐ Real Time Oncology Review (RTOR) EU EMA: ‐ PRIME ‐ Accelerated assessment ‐ Conditional marketing authorisation ‐ Orphan designation ‐ Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product Classification ‐ Exceptional Circumstances ‐ Adaptive pathways (via EMA HTA Parallel Scientific Advice) Health Canada
- Priority review
- Conditional (Notice of
Compliance with conditions)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship of conditional approvals (including NOC-cs) to HTA recommendations in terms of the HTA outcomes and timing
Study method
Data source
CIRS HTAdock Database An ongoing programme to monitor regulatory and HTA performance,;data collected for new active substances (NASs) appraised by key HTA agencies, analysing synchronisation between the regulatory decision and first HTA recommendation in timing and outcome.
Data collected on internationalised NASs)were evaluated in terms of:
- Type of regulatory review pathways (Standard vs. Conditional)
- HTA decisions/ recommendations
- Timing of regulatory submission to HTA decisions/recommendations
Regulatory approval from both of these agencies: (2012 to 2017) EMA Health Canada 1st HTA recommendation by one of the following HTA agencies: (2015 to 2017) CADTH HAS IQWIG SMC TLV The 1st HTA recommendation was then classified into the following categories:
- Positive
- Positive with restrictions
- Negative
- Multiple
NASs were identified from the CIRS Regulatory Approval Times Database that had:
For this presentation, analyses focused on NASs appraised by key HTA agencies from 2015 to 2017

Comparison with US FDA
[PERCE NTAGE] Out of 12 FDA Standard Approval in this cohort, 100% were approved as standard approval by HC [PERCENTAG E] 48% Out of 12 FDA Accelerated Approval in this cohort, 52% were approved as conditional approval by HC
HC NOC-Cs HC Standard
This cohort contained 24 NASs that were approved by
- Health Canada in 2015-2017
- FDA Accelerated process in 2015-2017
Summary (2015-2017)
- 21% (17/81) NASs were granted a NOC-C by Health
Canada
- For NOC-Cs the median time for HC approvals was
approximately one month faster than standard approvals.
- Median time to CADTH recommendation was only about 2
weeks longer than for standard, but NOC-Cs were more likely to receive an initial negative recommendation.
- For Conditional Approvals, positive/positive with restriction
recommendations were more frequent in Europe than Canada
- This warrants a better understanding of the factors
underlying the initial negative recommendations, to better align expedited access recommendations with NOC-Cs.
