Table 3.

Overview of economic assumptions considered to build the model, resulting from the integration of data from IQVIA® databases and qualitative interviews with clinicians and former payers

Category Assumptions
Renegotiations of already marketed drugs

• In the absence of an extension of indication, a 5% additional discount will be applied on top of the discount obtained at previous negotiation

• With extension of indication, an 8% additional discount will be applied on top of the one obtained at previous negotiation

• Renegotiations are assumed to happen every 3 years

• No renegotiation for drugs that have not been renegotiated in the last 5 years

Tender discounts of generics/biosimilars

Branded small molecules: application of a maximum discount of 70% vs. ex-factory price, reached 2 years after LoE

Generics: application of a maximum discount of 89% vs. originator ex-factory price, reached one year after LoE

Biologics: application of a maximum discount of 41% vs. ex-factory price, reached 3 years after LoE

Biosimilars: application of a maximum discount of 72% vs. originator ex-factory price, reached 3 years after LoE

Negotiation of new launches

Ublituximab: same cost of therapy per year as 2L treatments weighted average at launch

Tolebrutinib RMS and tolebrutinib PMS: same cost of therapy per year as 2L treatments weighted average at launch

Evobrutinib: same cost of therapy per year as 2L treatments weighted average at launch
