From 2024, the Swiss regulatory body (Swissmedic) and health technology assessment (HTA) organization (Federal office of public health; FOPH) are introducing a simultaneous reimbursement and regulatory review process, to promote earlier access of medicines. This approach will enable manufacturers to submit both applications at the same time, making it possible to achieve marketing authorization and reimbursement in situ (1). This has been evidenced under a successful pilot with Roche’s Lunsumio (completed in March 2023).
OD (orphan drug) privilege status under the AMNOG procedure means that ODs are currently exempt from providing comparative data for their assessment. They are assumed to have a positive added benefit (with the lowest rating possible being a positive but unquantifiable added benefit), even when the data is insufficient to support this. If sales over 12 months surpass the €30 million mark, this privilege is revoked, and a full assessment is performed based on comparative data.
