This document proposes an updated version of the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) pharmaceutical budget impact analysis (BIA) guidelines. It conducted stakeholder interviews and literature reviews to inform the proposal. The proposed guidelines consist of 72 recommendations, with 49% being identical to the previous 2007 version, 36% being new, and 15% being modified. New recommendations included considering treatment switches, subpopulation analyses, and uncertainty analyses. The proposal aims to reflect the current best practices in BIA based on stakeholder input and methodological advances.
Strategy to incorporate pharmacoeconomics into pharmacotherapy Ravi Kumar Yadav
Pharmacoeconomics of the health care intervention is equally important like the safety and efficacy of drug. The various strategies are available to incorporate pharmacoeconomics into pharmacotherapy. The most popular strategies for applying pharmacoeconomics to assess the value of pharmaceutical products and services include using the results of published pharmacoeconomic studies, building economic models, and conducting pharmacoeconomic research.

Comparative assessment of stakeholder feedback capt-poster presentation-2019Naghmeh Foroutan
The present study was designed for obtaining Canadian pricing and reimbursement stakeholders’ opinion on a list of proposed recommendations for updating the 2007 Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB) Budget Impact Analysis guidelines. Methods: Stakeholders from different perspectives including policymakers (public and private payers) and industry experts/consultants were invited to participate in the study (private payer and industry perspectives were not included in the PMPRB 2007 BIA guidelines). Using a mixed methods approach, an interview guide and a written survey were developed based on discordance between the PMPRB 2007 BIA guidelines recommendations and Canadian provincial, and other national or transnational BIA guidelines. A thematic content analysis was applied for the qualitative data analysis. Results: We conducted nine interviews with policymakers and twenty-seven surveys with industry experts/consultants. Most interviewees were positive about the usefulness of BIA in disinvestment decisions and believed that reviewing cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and BIA together, at the same time, could be particularly informative for setting value-based prices. Fifty-six percent of the proposed recommendations were approved (e.g., the use of post-market real-world data for assessing the reliability of BIAs first-year forecasts), whereas, 30% were not supported by stakeholders (e.g., indirect costs). Some recommendations will need further input from public and private payers before being included in a revised version of the PMPRB BIA guidelines (e.g., inclusion of cost offsets). Conclusions: In the present study, Canadian payers and manufacturers’ views on the BIA recommendations, obtained through qualitative and quantitative methods, provide additional insight to help define BIA guidelines from a Canadian perspective. This information may also be of value for updating or creating BIA guidelines worldwide.

Pharmacoeconomics is essential to reduce burden for patients in the terms of cost and improve the therapeutic effectiveness by selecting alternative treatments. Physician and pharmacist plays an important role in selecting drugs and treatment alternatives. So, proper selection helps to minimize the cost of therapy in patients. Research studies on pharmacoeconomics helps to know the burden of patients paying for their illness.

The first and only Canadian pharmaceutical budget impact analysis
guidelines were published by the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board
(PMPRB) in 2007.
Since then some jurisdictions, inside and outside Canada, and
International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research
(ISPOR) have updated their BIA guidelines.
We designed a series of studies to provide PMPRB with sufficient insights
to enable the creation of a penultimate version of revised PMPRB BIA
guidelines in accordance with the most up-to-date methodological
improvement in designing and reporting BIA and the Canadian expert
opinion for their further stakeholder consultation.
Proposal
(Penultimate version of the guidelines)
Stakeholder analysis (A mixed method study)
Face-to-face interviews Online survey
Systematic literature reviews
National and transnational guidelines Canadian (F/P/T) guidelines
The proposal consists of 72 recommendations:
o 49% (n=35) are identical with the PMPRB 2007 BIA guidelines,
o 36% (n=26) are new,
o 15% (n=11) are modified.
NEW recommendations (n=26) Recommended by
Stakeholders
The technology should be described in sufficient detail to differentiate it from its
comparators and to provide context for the study
n/a
Open or dynamic populations should be used in the target population assessment Yes
Rate of mortality and disease progression should be considered in BIA Yes
Subpopulation analyses are to be included with the base-case analysis Yes
The degree of implementation is essential in market size estimation n/a
Treatment switch should be considered in BIAs (catch-up effect) Yes
Patient adherence/compliance may be included in BIAs Maybe
In the situation where a drug’s indications are evolving, this issue has to be addressed
in the BIA
Yes
“Treatment mix” rather than “strategy-based treatment” should be the terminology for
defining concomitant medications of comparators
n/a
Least Cost Alternative (LCA) price for relevant drug comparators should be used in the
BIA
Yes
Drugs which require reconstitution or dose preparation, the method of dose
preparation, stability and specifics around potential drug wastage should be
mentioned.
n/a
Cost of supplies to the manufacturer and the payer and any cost of companion
diagnostic test or medical device should be reported
n/a
Markov models are not recommended; however, it is advised that the disease
condition should be modeled as much as possible to capture the long-term
consequence
Yes
Model validity has to be checked and documented. n/a
Describe the direction and magnitude of the impact of uncertainty on the overall
estimates.
Yes
Scenario analyses should be undertaken by changing selected input parameter values
and structural assumptions to produce plausible alternative scenarios.
Yes
A reassessment process of BIAs in a future real-world should be considered Yes
Extrapolating data from similar drug experience can be considered as a reliable source
of data
Yes
BIA guidelines may provide a list of acceptable databases Maybe
Original cost survey, obtaining primary data, by sampling, involving interviews with
health professionals under study could be an option for obtaining required data.
n/a
Cost outcomes should be presented separately for different payers Yes
Cost outcomes should be presented in monetary units Yes
The total and incremental impact on the budget may be included in the BIA Maybe
Aggregated and disaggregated budget impact results should be reported for each year Yes
There should be reporting of the gross and net impact on the budget Yes
A cap or threshold for budget impact should be considered Yes
Modified recommendations (n=11)
Recommended by
stakeholders
A 3-year time horizon with some degree of flexibility is recommended Maybe
Either a top-down (epidemiological) or a bottom-up (market-share or claims-
based analyses) approach is recommended
n/a
The choice of comparators in BIA should be an accurate reflection of the
existing therapeutic options for the condition(s) of interest and preferably be
consistent with the health economic evaluation
n/a
The BIA should identify all medicines likely to be affected by the new drug
(treatment mix)
n/a
Cost offsets should be excluded unless there are substantial costs related to the
resource utilization and are directly required by drug plans
Maybe
In the case of medications where recommended duration of use is less than 30
days (e.g., antibiotics), this should be specified and the cost calculated
accordingly.
n/a
The BIA should clearly state which unit of analysis is adopted in measuring the
outcomes (e.g., per patient or episode of care, therapeutic equivalences)
n/a
Robust methods for sensitivity analysis are required to adequately address the
issue of uncertainty.
n/a
Provide deterministic sensitivity analysis (DSA) (i.e., one-way, multi-way and
analysis of extremes) to inform decision-makers of the sensitivity of the model
to specific assumptions
n/a
There should be a schematic representation of the uncertainty analysis Yes
BIA calculations and formula n/a
# Recommendations were not supported by stakeholders and excluded
1 In the case of co-payment, inclusion of a patient’s perspective is recommended
2 Off-label indications should be included in the base-case analysis
3 Training or introduction cost should be included in the BIA
4 Transportation, productivity and caregiver related costs should be included in the BIA
5 Opportunity cost estimation in BIAs should be provided by the manufacturers
6 An appropriate rate of tax (e.g. HST) should be applied to the applicable costs
7 Cost transfer from other jurisdictions are acceptable in the BIA
8 Outcomes should be presented in natural units (e.g. number of unpaid working days)
9 A BIA should use probabilistic sensitivity analysis for dealing with uncertainty
10 A BIA should include a proposed risk sharing agreement for dealing with uncertainty
11 A longer introduction phase should be used with early BIAs to address issues of uncertainty
