Introduction (1) • “Patients W. A. I. T. ” stands for Patients Waiting to Access Innovative Therapies. The INDICATOR provides a benchmark of the rate of availability and waiting times in European countries. • The Patients W. A. I. T. Indicator shows, for new medicines (i. e. medicines including a substance that has not been previously available in Europe) within a (rolling) 3, or 4 year cohort: 1. The rate of availability, measured by the number of medicines available to patients in European countries. For most countries this is the point at which the product gains access to the reimbursement list 2. The average time between marketing authorisation and patient access, measured by the number of days elapsing from the date of EU marketing authorisation (or effective marketing authorisation in non-EEA countries) to the day of completion of post-marketing authorisation administrative processes • Source of information: EFPIA member associations, who either refer to information available from official sources or gather this information directly from member companies 1

Introduction (2) • The Patients W. A. I. T. Indicator gives a snapshot of the 2 parameters at a cut-off date (19 th December 2018) – data from medicines cohorts dropping out of the reference period are not included. • Waiting times reflected in the Patients W. A. I. T. Indicator include any delay, whether attributable to companies or to competent authorities. • Rate of availability in a country does not necessarily indicate medicine uptake. Some medicines may be available in a market with no uptake (sales or volume). • The Patients W. A. I. T. Indicator is not a measurement of the delays as defined in the “Transparency” Directive (directive 89/105/EEC). Delays under the “Transparency” Directive reflect the number of days that national competent authorities need to make their decisions regarding price and inclusion of medicines in the positive list, where applicable. These delays do not include the time needed to prepare submissions under relevant national regulations, which may also include clock-stops for supply of additional information during the process; neither do “Transparency” Directive delays include time required to complete other formalities before a new medicine can be made available in a given country. 2

Method for product selection Step 1 EMA list of authorisations (September 2018) Step 2

Method for product selection Step 1 EMA list of authorisations (September 2018) Step 2 Products in scope • • • Status: Authorised, Withdrawn, Suspended Non-generic Non-biosimilar Remove ATC K, V & T Include combinations (both products can have already been approved before) Products with EMA authorisation year 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 Step 3 Remove products with an active substance which has an EMA authorisation prior to 2014 Step 4 Additional criteria for products with active substances with multiple MA’s between 2014 -2017 • • New combination products (even those containing already approved active substances) are included New formulations are excluded New indications of already approved active substances, leading to a separate marketing authorisation only for an orphan drug are included Duplicates (products launched on the same date, but same company for same indication ) - only one is included but both product names are added on one line 3

Study scope • 121 products approved by EMA between 1 st January 2015 to 31 st December 2017 (excluding 4 products which were withdrawn between 2015 -2017) • The 2018 study provides an analysis of products approved between 2015 -2016 -2017, for the following datasets: a) All 121 products: 45 in 2015, 38 in 2016, 38 in 2017 b) 38 Orphan products: 13 in 2015, 13 in 2016, 12 in 2017 c) 31 Oncology products: 10 in 2015, 12 in 2016, 9 in 2017 • Definitions: - Orphan status from EMA (September 2018) - Oncology products flagged using IQVIA MIDAS Oncology market definition* • The date of availability cut off point is 19 th December 2018 (except for Estonia and Iceland, which had a few products with a reimbursement decision on 1 st January 2019) • 27 countries included in the study * L 1&L 2&V 3 C&Revlimid&Xgeva&Proleukin&Pomalyst 4

Availability and accessibility date • The aim of the W. A. I. T. indicator

Availability and accessibility date • The aim of the W. A. I. T. indicator is to measure the differences in time to reimbursement across European countries • A medicine is available on the market if patients can receive the medicine under a reimbursement scheme • The accessibility date is the first date when doctors can prescribe / hospitals can administer the medicine to patients in the country, who will be able to benefit from reimbursement conditions applicable in the country (i. e. administrative procedures to be included in the positive reimbursement list have been completed, where applicable) • IQVIA have defined a set of “rules” to determine market availability: Reimbursement status of medicine Is the medicine available? Reimbursed through the 'normal' reimbursement system Available Automatically reimbursed Available Reimbursed on an individual basis, in some cases whilst reimbursement is pending Available (LA*) Not reimbursed and only available at the patients expense Not available Pending reimbursement and only available at the patients expense Not available In cases where a product has been categorised as “not available”, their dates will not be included in the delay analysis *LA: product available for limited availability 5

Products with particular reimbursement conditions • IQVIA has differentiated between products which are reimbursed

Products with particular reimbursement conditions • IQVIA has differentiated between products which are reimbursed through the regular process in a country, and products with “limited availability” (LA) • Products with LA have special reimbursement conditions, where reimbursement is only granted for certain patients, indications, or only through special programs (e. g. early access schemes) • Products which have been reimbursed with the following criteria are marked as “Available”, however have been flagged in the “Rate of Availability %” charts: Reimbursement conditions for medicine Restricted patient cohort (specific populations) Individual reimbursement (case by case / named patient program) Special programs (e. g early access scheme)* Conditional reimbursement *Some innovative products can be made available prior to market authorization through early access schemes in countries. As these are not taken into account in the analysis in some countries, the average delay in these countries will be higher than in reality. 6

Definition of Availability For most countries a product is available if it gains access

Definition of Availability For most countries a product is available if it gains access to the national reimbursement list. For countries where this differs, the definition of Availability is below: • Austria: A medicine is available if it is included in the reimbursement system (EKO) or available through the Austrian pharmacies list. • Estonia: A pharmacy product is available if it is reimbursed (pharmacy products) or added to the hospital service list. • Finland: A pharmacy product is available if it is reimbursed (pharmacy products). Hospital products become available straight away. • Germany: Following marketing authorisation, prescription drugs automatically receive reimbursed status. These products are classified as available. • Hungary: Medicines are either reimbursed through the 'normal' reimbursement system, are available through a Name Patient Program or are available but financed by the hospital budget. • Lithuania: A medicine is available if it is on the Lithuanian market (the State Medicines Control Agency has data on the sales volume of this medicinal product) • North Macedonia (referred to as Macedonia in the slides): The medicine is included on the positive drug list or reimbursement list. No new medicines have been included on the reimbursement list for the past 10 years. • Norway: The medicine has received a positive reimbursement decision by No. MA (out-patient drugs), or the Decision Forum for New Technologies has recommended the introduction of the new drug into hospitals (hospital drugs) • Slovenia: A medicine is available if it is reimbursed through the regular system, or automatically reimbursed (e. g. all medicines for TBC) • Sweden: A medicine is classified as available if it is currently marketed in Sweden (listed supplied FASS), and has received either: (a) a positive TLV reimbursement decision (non hospital drug), (b) a positive NT recommendation (hospital drug), (c) lacks an NT recommendation but is assessed to have a relevant level of sales based on rough estimation number patients treated in relation to the size of the patient population (hospital drug), or (d) is indicated in the treatment of a communicable disease (i. e. reimbursement decision/NT recommendation not requirement). • Switzerland: The medicine gained market approval by Swissmedic. Delay calculated using local market authorisation dates. • Turkey: A medicine is available if it either gains access to the reimbursement list or is available through a named patient scheme. Delay calculated using local market authorisation dates. • UK: Two data sources are used- IQVIA sales data and publication of NICE opinion. IQVIA sales data is taken as the main source of information for availability; NICE opinion is used if sales aren’t captured by IQVIA. 8

Definition of Available with special reimbursement conditions • Austria: Products only reimbursed on an individual basis • Croatia: Products are available for specific patient cohorts (reimbursement guidelines outline specific criteria describing patient eligibility for treatment). • Denmark: Products which don’t automatically receive public reimbursement, however, the patient can obtain an individual reimbursement if the doctors apply on their behalf. • Estonia: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort. • France: Some innovative products without competitors can be made available prior to market authorisation under the system of Temporary Authorisations • Greece: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort, or by case reimbursement if the responsible committee judges its use necessary. • Hungary: Medicine is pending reimbursement decision or has not been reimbursed, but is available through a Name Patient Program. • Iceland: Products are available to the patients with full reimbursement, but only through individual reimbursement, which can be applied for on individual basis by the patient’s doctor. • Ireland: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort • Lithuania: Only reimbursed for limited indications (compared to what was approved at market authorisation) • Netherlands: Only reimbursed under certain therapeutic conditions (annex 2 on the positive reimbursement list). • Norway: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort • Poland: Only reimbursed for limited indications (compared to what was approved at market authorisation) • Portugal: Product is only available on a patient by patient basis and after an Exceptional Authorisation has been granted • Serbia: Products are reimbursed with significant restrictions. Sometimes these restrictions are based on number of patients (e. g. for new generation Hep. C medicines, there is a cap on only 60 patients per year), sometimes on the number of indications, or there is some other limit. • Slovenia: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort • Spain: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort • Sweden: Only reimbursed for restricted patient cohort • Switzerland: For products pending reimbursement, patients have restricted reimbursement access. Such restricted access includes ‘individual reimbursement’ regulated by Art. 71 a-d of KVV ordinance. • Turkey: Products only available through a “Named Patient Scheme”. These medicines do not require TITCK (Turkish Medical Agency) approval but are reimbursed. • UK: England, Scotland Wales do not limit reimbursement for medicines for specific groups of patients relative to license. But following a health technology appraisal by the national appraisal body (National Institute of health and Clinical Evidence, Scottish Medicines Committee, All Wales Medicines Strategy Group) recommended usage of medicines may be restricted to a subgroup of patients relative to the scope of the license under consideration. 11

Key observations • Patient access to new medicines is highly varied across Europe, with the greatest rate of availability in Northern and Western European countries and lowest in Southern and Eastern European countries. • In some countries, up to 30% of products are available and reimbursed but with specific conditions. • The average delay between market authorisation and patient access can vary by a factor greater than x 7 across Europe, with patients in Northern /Western Europe accessing new products 100 -200 days after market authorisation and patients mainly in Southern/ Eastern Europe between 600 -1000 days. • Countries with more products available tend to have faster access to medicines. • Even within a country there is a large variation in the speed of patient access to different products. Often the level of variation within a country is greater than between countries e. g. shortest versus longest delays in Estonia (21 vs. 1443 days), Ireland (0 vs. 1321 days) and Austria (33 vs. 1383 days). • Comparison to 2017 W. A. I. T. indicator study: of the countries overlapping both analyses, 65% countries have a higher rate of availability, and 52% countries have a longer delay in the 2018 study. 19
