Objective: To evaluate the potential impact of cell and gene therapies (CGTs) in France by forecasting the number of patients that will be treated with CGTs over the period 2023-2030 by therapeutic area and region.
Methods: A review of CGTs in clinical development and related disease epidemiology was conducted to forecast the number of CGT launches and patient population between 2023 and 2030. The number of expected launches was identified by filtering the clinical development pipeline with estimated time to launch and probability of success values from Project ALPHA.
Background: Precise data about ATTR-CM incidence rates at national level are scarce. Consequently, this study aimed to estimate the annual incidence and survival of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in France between 2011 and 2019 using real world data. We used the French nationwide exhaustive data (SNDS database) gathering in- and out-patient claims.

Methods: Data on RRMS patients treated with IFNbeta-1a 22 or 44mug subcutaneously three times weekly or placebo for up to 4 years were obtained from the Prevention of Relapses and disability by Interferon-beta-1a Subcutaneously in Multiple Sclerosis (PRISMS) study. The area under the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score-time curve was used as a measure of disability and the effectiveness of therapy was expressed as EDSS-months of disability prevented.
Objective: Three GPIIb/IIIa antagonists are available in the market. In France, as in many countries, their acquisition costs strongly differ. The objective of this study was to analyze how economic criteria-beyond the acquisition cost-should be factored in, when choosing a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist.

Design: Retrospective cost effectiveness analysis based on a prospective placebo-controlled randomised clinical trial.
Data Sources: Recently published cost studies in seven European countries.
Context: Breast cancer is one of the major causes of premature death for women. Its cost management is important for both the national health insurance and the individual health care providers.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the global medical cost of breast cancer from diagnosis to follow up in one French medical centre: centre René-Huguenin, Saint-Cloud (92).
