Background. Reimbursement of pharmaceuticals is based on cost-effectiveness analysis. These analyses synthesize information from multiple sources, where the efficacy typically is based on information from randomized controlled trials.

The introduction of precision medicine implies several challenges for the recommended framework:

  • Measuring efficacy when randomized controlled trial is not possible 
  • Accounting for uncertainty, when samples sizes are very small 
  • Development of financial incentives and optimal reimbursement systems, for instance considering adaptive partial approval process
