Objectives • Evaluation of the implementation of the legislation (article 83(2) Regulation (EC) N° 726/2004)
• Application to orphan drugs • EMA experience • Experience from MSs, industry associations, companies • Difficulties • Possible evolution 4
Implementation EU legislation • Objective of the legislation – Harmonisation – Common approach between MSs – Equal treatment for patients across the EU
• Role of the EMA – Evaluation – Opinion
• Role of the MSs final decision 5
Article 83 Regulation N° 726/2004 • Applicable to medicinal products for “chronically or seriously debilitating disease, or a life threatening disease, and who cannot be treated satisfactorily by an authorised medicinal product” • Subject of an application for a centralised MA or undergoing clinical trials in the EU • For a group of patients
6
• Not applicable to medicinal products already authorised or not eligible to centralised procedure or under compassionate use on a named patient basis • CHMP at the EMA may adopt an opinion on – Conditions of use – Conditions for distribution – Patients targeted 7
• Only MSs can request an opinion (companies cannot apply) • Opinions are publicly available • EMA has published a Guidance document • Practical experience – MSs – Industry associations – Companies 8
European Medicines Agency • Only 2 assessments since the implementation of the EU legislation • No experience at all with orphan drugs • What are the reasons? • What are the other experiences? • Do we need a revision of the legislation? • Other ways forward? 9
MSs/companies experience • Compassionate use for orphan medicinal products at MSs level and in almost all MSs • Based on national legislation or on named patient basis • Some have been authorised after compassionate use programmes which can – Generate data on efficacy – Establish safety of long term use – Be the basis of clinical development 10
• Main concerns – Differences between Mss policies difficult to understand (authorisation, documentation, prescription, assessment time, validity, follow up) – Liability risks – Lack of transparency – Interference with MA procedure – Supply and logistics, information/language – Pressure on supply under compassionate use including offlabel – Free of charge/prices 11
• General agreement on the usefulness of compassionate use programmes – Facilitate access patients to new medicines – Opportunity for physicians to use new medicines – Build networking with specialists – Better knowledge about the medicine – Shorten the delay on market access
• Why article 83 is not widely used? 12
• What is needed – Improved transparency and harmonisation – Clear rules between compassionate use and development programmes – Integration of all data for post-marketing surveillance – To have an EU forum for stakeholders to discuss how to improve – To set up guidelines based on experience
13
Possible evolution • Compassionate use should not be – A clinical trial or product development – A way to market a product before MA – A way to be financed
• Compassionate use should be – An offer of medicines to those in need – Via named basis or cohort
14
• What is needed? – To facilitate and improve access – To facilitate common approach – To increase transparency and to involve patients associations – To use article 83 of the current EU legislation
• Who can act? – The Commission will not change the legislation soon – MSs have rules in place that can be improved – Companies that have difficulties to put in place programmes should be encouraged 15
• How to do? – To pursue the dialogue between MSs and between MSs and companies – Collaboration particularly necessary for orphans – Based on the experience on informal groups to set up a “Facilitation group” between MSs in order to • Exchange information • Build up common experience • Create a network which can facilitate future changes in the legislation 16
