aThe date in which a molecule first received a marketing authorisation in one of the FDA, EMA, TGA or Health Canada. A detailed list of included indications is provided in Additional file 1: Appendix C

bThe total number of distinct indications identified with approval in one or more of the FDA, EMA, TGA or Health Canada for a specific multi-indication molecule during the study period (01/01/2009 – 01/01/2019)

cIn France, indications which receive an SMR rating of insufficient are categorized as having a negative HTA outcome (DNL)

dIn Germany, indications which receive a rating of lesser benefit or no proof of added benefit are categorized as having a negative HTA outcome (DNL). In practice, these indications may still be reimbursed at a price determined based on reference pricing, and the HTA approval sequence does not necessarily reflect the order in which indications are launched within the country
