HTA-challenges in the Medical Device Industry
HTA-course, Danish Society for Biopharmaceutical Statistics, May 26 2014
Jeppe Sørensen, International Health Economist
Agenda
1. Introduction to Coloplast
2. HTA challenges for medical devices – same or different?
• Product characteristics

3. Country specific approaches to HTAs and medical devices – examples and
implications for evidence
4. How does Coloplast respond to the challenges? Value based argumentation
• “Traditional” cost-effectiveness analysis
• Disease specific PROMs
• Discreet choice experiments

2. MEDICAL DEVICES – SAME OR DIFFERENT?
Product characteristics of medical devices influence
conditions for establishing evidence
Reasons why devices are different in relation to RCTs
1. Difficult/impossible to do blinded studies with devices
2. No “steady state” period: Frequent product modifications and
3. Device-Operator Interactions: Efficacy depends on how it is used and RCT
risks demonstrating experience rather than differences
Source: Drummond, M., Griffin, A. and Tarricone, R. (2009), Economic Evaluation for Devices
and Drugs—Same or Different?. Value in Health, 12: 402–404
2. MEDICAL DEVICES – SAME OR DIFFERENT?
Different licensing requirements compared to drugs mean
different conditions for producing evidence
Pharma
• 10-15 years development and clinical trials aiming at a strong regulatory file for
FDA/EMA approval
Medical devices
• Often a CE-mark is the only licensing requirement for disposable medical
devices
• 2-3 years from idea to market
• Fewer and smaller trials
2. MEDICAL DEVICES – SAME OR DIFFERENT?
Example: Evidence on hydrophilic coated vs. uncoated
catheters and occurrence of UTIs
Number of
patients
Institutional data is the best
measure for a difference in UTI rates,
however it overestimates the real life UTI
rates.

3. APPROACHES TO HTA
Very different funding systems and HTA-requirements – two
examples
3. APPROACHES TO HTA
Example: France – reimbursement system & characteristics
Community Reimbursement system
HAS: The French National Authority for Health
evaluates reimbursement in 2 steps (outside category)
1st step: Medical evaluation
2nd step: Economic evaluation
TECHNICAL & MEDICAL EVALUATION
ECONOMICAL EVALUATION
Committee 1 (CEPP/ CNEDiMTS)
Committee 2 (CEPS)
Key characteristics
• National categories with fixed prices:
 OC: 17 sub-categories
 IC: 3 sub-categories (CD: 8 sub-categories)
 WC: sub-categories based on size
 Application time in category: < 1 week
(only need safety registration in Afssaps)
 MEDICAL SERVICE : YES/ NO
 MEDICAL SERVICE IMPROVEMENT (MSI):

 REIMBURSEMENT PRICE -> LPPR

Spotlight budget impact and
EU prices/ reimbursement
Clinical data not required
 No international reference pricing
 Review every 5th year (longer in reality)
• Brand specific reimbursement possible
 Application time: 6 – 12+ months
 Clinical data required
 International reference pricing
 Review every 5th year (incl reference price)
• Co-payment: none for chronic care (OC/ CC)
 35% non Chronics (but 90% insured)

4. VALUE BASED ARGUMENTATION
Example on how health economics is used for value
argumentation in relation to intermittent catheterization
Published article show that by using a
hydrophilic coated catheter, a UTI
reduction of 21 % can be obtained

analysis
Findings
Hydrophilic coated catheters are
4% more expensive
than uncoated catheters
HCIC increase QALY by 5%,

4. VALUE BASED ARGUMENTATION
Example: SpeediCath Compact and quality of life
QoL
Intermittent Self-Catherisation Questionnaire (ISC-Q)
HRQoL
SF-36
EQ-5D
• Validated instrument accepted for publication (Pinder 2013)
• Total score 0-100 based on 24 questions in 4 domains:
• Ease of use, convenience, discreteness and psychosocial wellbeing
Disease QoL
Qualiveen
Compact trial results on quality of life (ISC-Q)
C-IQoL
Compact: 17 point improvement out of 100
ISC-Q
Randomised controlled trial of 118 neurogenic users from 5 countries using
Compact 6 weeks vs. non-Compact for 6 weeks (Chartier-Kastler 2013).
But what is better quality of life worth ?

4. VALUE BASED ARGUMENTATION
One way is to base willingness to pay on a discreet choice
experiment

4. VALUE BASED ARGUMENTATION
Example of WTP results for specific catheter attributes
• WTP puts a value on the
benefit of certain features to
the users
• Can be used to link an
improvement in quality of life to
monetary units
• In Coloplast WTP is used to
describe user-perceived value
of various aspects (i.e. coating,
risk of infection, convenience
etc.)
• A regular cost-minimisation
analysis only counts costs –
WTP counts the value for the
users

Use of Willingness-to-pay study
Use of less valid study designs
