SL Radar September 2025

Pricing models and credit approvals on the rise

Werder Viganò

September saw a clear shift toward more formalized pricing models and cost approval processes. In oncology, time limits are being extended broadly until 2028 and economic parameters are being tightened (e.g., fixed reimbursement on FAP). In immunology/gastroenterology, precise induction/maintenance regimens and prescriber restrictions are being added; in some cases, further treatment is explicitly linked to cost approval after one year.
