ABSTRACT
Regulators and payers have contrasting priorities that can lead to divergent decisions and delays in patient access to new treatments. Those involved in coverage decisions have not routinely been integrated in the drug development process. Theoretically, inclusion of payer representatives early in development could help discern discordance among stakeholder priorities; facilitate cooperation to align objectives; foster agreement on the evidence required for approval and reimbursement; improve transparency, accountability, and consistency of payer decision making; and ideally, minimize delays in patient access to new therapies. However, early participation by payers may not provide these expected benefits if payers' decision-making processes are not evidence based or cannot be reliably predicted. This paper describes current interactions among regulatory agencies, payers, sponsors, and investigators and proposes collaboration among all stakeholders earlier in the development process. The premise that a priori discussions might facilitate the delivery of advances in cardiovascular care is a hypothesis worth testing.
