Coming back from ISPOR with a lot to think about—and maybe just enough coffee to process it all! With the conference focused on “Powering Value and Access Through Patient-Centered Collaboration,” it was positive to see both the opening and closing plenaries dedicated to the question: 👉 We all agree patient collaboration is essential. So how do we make it happen? A meaningful takeaway was the shared view that patients shouldn’t just be involved in healthcare decision-making, but included as equal partners. AI was unsurprisingly a major theme this year—shifting from whether to adopt it to how to use it ethically and responsibly. Many exhibitors showcased AI-driven evidence reviews and RWE tools. We’re excited by the efficiencies AI can offer and are monitoring this space carefully to incorporate low-risk, high-value AI approaches that strengthen accuracy and streamline workflows. These themes have been gaining momentum all year, with HTA agencies pushing for patient inclusion and releasing guidance on how to responsibly handle AI. At STRATENYM, our experts work every day on rare disease launches where patient voices aren’t just valuable—they’re essential. We’re advancing new, practical ways to embed patient perspectives into the product pipeline and exploring responsible ways to use AI. Reach out if you want to discuss our strategies for elevating patient voices throughout development and/or how we're using AI safely and securely.

The UK is breaking new ground in helping patients to access innovative therapies sooner. With the refreshed Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP), manufacturers, regulators, health technology assessment (HTA) bodies, and the UK national health system are collaborating from the earliest stages of development, providing manufacturers with coordinated guidance to accelerate access for patients with the greatest unmet needs. The first therapies to enter ILAP have been granted Innovation Passports, announced by the ILAP partners: Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), National Health Service (NHS), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC), and the All Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Centre (AWTTC). Innovation Passports provide manufacturers with early, integrated support on safety, effectiveness, and value, helping bring new therapies to patients faster. The first three investigational therapies to receive Innovation Passports fall under the following therapeutic areas: • Neonatal-onset ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency—a rare metabolic disorder that prevents the breakdown of ammonia, which can be fatal in infancy without liver transplantation. • Duchenne muscular dystrophy—a progressive, incurable muscle-wasting disease affecting 1 in 3,500–5,000 boys. • A rare, unnamed, neurodegenerative condition affecting children, with no available cure. These early efforts show how ILAP helps drive innovation in rare diseases, where development can be challenging due to limited patient numbers and evidence limitations. At STRATENYM, we’re closely tracking new developments like ILAP to help our clients navigate evolving access pathways, optimize strategies, and ensure therapies reach patients efficiently.

Glasgow, we’re on our way! STRATENYM is excited to announce our participation in ISPOR Europe 2025, taking place in Glasgow, Scotland from 9–12 November. This year, STRATENYM will be represented by Christine Worsley and Daniela Goncalves Bradley, who will be presenting two insightful research projects on NICE’s Highly Specialised Technologies (HST) programme: 🔹 The Phantom Menace: How Consultations and Appeals During NICE HST Appraisals Contribute to Delays in Patient Access 🔹 A Long and Winding Road: An Evaluation of NICE HST Appraisals Taking Longer Than Two Years for Guidance Publication These studies delve into the complex pathways to patient access for rare disease treatments, and the opportunities for streamlining future appraisals. If you’ll be attending ISPOR Europe or have an interest in the evolving HEOR/HTA landscape, we’d love to connect. Let’s share insights, discuss challenges, and maybe even decode some acronyms together (we’ll keep the jargon to a minimum—promise).
