Average
delay
(days)
The average time between marketing authorisation and patient access – the number of days
elapsing from the date of EU marketing authorisation (or effective marketing authorisation in non-EEA
countries) to the day of completion of post-marketing authorisation administrative process1
In most countries patient access equates to granting of access to the reimbursement list, except for hospital product in DK, FI, NO, SE where some
products are not covered by the general reimbursement scheme and so this shorter delay is artificially declining the median and average.
• In France, some innovation products without competitors can be made available prior to market authorisation under the system of Temporary
Authorisations. As these are not taking into account in the analysis, the average for France is higher than in reality.
• Average of 29 European countries in the analysis (excludes Macedonia)

8. Collaboration is needed between multiple stakeholders to
address challenges to patient access across Europe
Evolution of HTA methods is needed to address current access challenges facing innovative cancer
therapies. Changes to the way that innovation is valued and how uncertainty is considered, is essential
in overcoming access challenges and reaping the benefits for patients.

variation in access to

10. Access & Adoption targets are needed to reach desired
public health outcomes
Adoption of innovative
cancer therapies should
be guided by diagnostic
and/or biomarker testing,
where available
Mechanisms that enable
broader access to
innovation are needed,
such as outcomes-based
payment models
Trusted partnerships
between manufacturers
and payers are needed to
agree managed entry
agreements in a timely
manner
11. Sustainability of Health Systems is Key but the Right
Investments are needed
To make progress towards achieving our common goal: that every patient receives the right
treatment at the right time and in a sustainable way…..
We need to:
Find sustainable ways to fund solutions that
achieve health targets and value-based outcomes
Shift the focus from restricting expenditure
to making long-term investments in earlier
disease detection, prevention and delivery
of effective cancer care
Support a productive and profitable life sciences
industry to encourage innovation.
Ensuring people can access the treatments they need when they need them, builds a healthy
population and sustainable future - healthy populations are linked to healthy economies.

Conclusions
Confidential – for Johnson and Johnson internal use only
Pharmaceutical innovation leads to improved outcomes for patients and
can have broader economic benefits for society.
Important strides have been made in treating a whole range of diseases,
but unmet need for patients remains high.
Pharmaceutical innovation is risky and complex. Healthcare systems need
to incentivise and reward investment in innovation.
Society needs a healthy pharmaceutical sector with the resources and
skills to discover and develop the medicines of tomorrow
