UK Steps Up Search For Vaccines Against ‘Variants Of Concern’

England’s health technology assessment institute, NICE, must ensure that there is clarity for manufacturers on how its methods and processes might change following testing in its sandbox environment, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry said.

Marcus Vass and Vladimir Murovec of international law firm Osborne Clarke tell the Pink Sheet what the government's planned HDRS might mean for industry, and how it compares with the European Health Data Space.

England’s health technology assessment institute explains how its sandbox environment is helping to test new evaluation methods for drugs or indications with which it does not have experience, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

Finding ways to lower the rebates paid by the pharmaceutical industry to the UK government and fostering partnerships to make the UK a more attractive launch market could help reduce the number of terminated technology appraisals conducted by NICE, the health technology appraisal institute, says the UK pharmaceutical industry.
