Session (CTI)

As trilogue negotiations on the EU pharmaceutical package progress, stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem are watching closely. This revision aims to reshape incentives, regulatory pathways, and access mechanisms across Europe—with direct implications for payers, HTA bodies, industry, and patients. In this fast facts session, we’ll unpack where the legislative process currently stands and the key issues shaping the final compromise. Areas of focus include: 1) progress and timelines in the trilogue phase; 2) potential impacts on data and market protection; 3) revised incentives for orphan and pediatric medicines; 4) the interplay with EU industrial and competitiveness goals; and 5) potential implications for national-level pricing, reimbursement, and access. With critical decisions ahead, this session offers a concise policy snapshot for understanding where the EU pharma package is headed and why it matters for health economists and payers alike.
