Article Synopsis
- - The study addresses the challenges of health technology assessment (HTA) for high-cost therapies like advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and suggests using outcomes-based agreements (OBAs) as a solution to facilitate patient access across Europe.
- - A policy sandbox approach involving 38 experts was used to develop recommendations for implementing OBAs, emphasizing the need for collaboration among stakeholders and the importance of considering data collection efforts to reduce burdens.
- - The findings highlight that if a positive HTA recommendation is not possible, straightforward price discounts are preferred over complex OBAs, and stakeholders are encouraged to use OBAs as a strategic tool for informed reimbursement decisions.

To facilitate collaboration across this project portfolio, the IMI funded the "NEURONET" project between March 2019 and August 2022 with the aim of connecting these projects and promoting synergies, enhancing the visibility of their findings, understanding the impact of the IMI funding and identifying research gaps that warrant more/new funding. The IMI ND portfolio currently includes 20 projects consisting of 270 partner organizations across 25 countries.
