Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Murphy: Generics, Biosimilars, and U.S. Policy
Q: Why are insurers starting to produce their own proprietary biosimilars?
Insurers see a market opportunity to squeeze more value from their dominance in the supply chain by contract manufacturing biosimilars under their own brand.
John Murphy: Generics, Biosimilars, and U.S. Policy
Q: What are the broader implications for Most Favored Nations given the statute of the agreement?
Murphy emphasizes that a competitive market is a better solution for lowering costs than government price controls.
Lieven Annemans & Andreas Charalambous: Moving the Needle in EU Cancer Care
Q: What would you like to see implemented in the next six months?
Andreas suggests a much more data-driven policy across the EU and increased funding for prevention efforts in cancer care.
Steve Usdin: Tariffs, Price Controls, & Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
Q: What do you think of the assessment that there would be virtually no impact on drug discovery due to the IRA?
Usdin argues that reducing the exclusivity period for small molecule drugs to nine years will inevitably impact drug development, pushing companies towards large molecule drugs instead.
Henry Skinner: Fixing the Antibiotics Market & Confronting AMR
Q: Where is that gap emerging?
The number of companies involved in antibiotic research is greatly diminished with a brain drain from antibiotic development.
