New research reveals the unmet patient need behind FDA Accelerated Approval therapies. Across 16 non-oncology diseases, evidence shows that AA-treated diseases tend to be more severe & more costly. They're also more often rare & disproportionately affect children & older adults.

NEW in @Health_Affairs: NPC & @TuftsCEVR captures how commercial plans often take 6+ months to update coverage after FDA label revisions and move faster to restrict access than expand it.

Timeliness matters for patient access. Read the study: https://t.co/600MJTx66C

[NPC @npcnow]

Some policy proposals view lowering prices and expanding access to treatments as a zero-sum game. But America can do both at the same time and build on decades of cancer-fighting progress. Read the full perspective here: https://t.co/TL0pHEZkLy (4/4)

[NPC @npcnow]

America is winning the war on cancer, but recent policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act are putting 55 years of progress at risk. As @drjmob writes in @TheCancerLetter, we can protect affordability without stalling innovation 🧵(1/4)

[NPC @npcnow]

CMS and policymakers can still change course. By recognizing the value of innovative treatments, supporting combination therapies, and negotiating treatments with care, we can ensure those counting on innovative treatments receive them. (3/4)

John O'Brien (@npcnow): "The treatments we now have would have been science fiction when I was in pharmacy school. The sustained, high-risk investments from scientists at drug companies have yielded remarkable innovations."
