Managed Care Perspectives for the Rapidly Evolving Oncology Landscape

Pricing: Free for Members, $30 for Non-Members

Course Description

Innovation in oncology is occurring at a swift pace, with ever-expanding options and promise of improved outcomes. Many oncolytic agents recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration or pending approval in coming months are considered to be breakthrough therapies, offer extended indications, or are formulations changing the place of care. Managing the increasing number of high-cost agents, determining value and outcomes, and minimizing toxicities pose challenges when developing utilization policies for these valuable advances in treatment. 

During this session, faculty will highlight recently approved oncology indications or novel mechanisms of action, discuss the place in therapy for these newly approved agents, and focus on managed care considerations related to payment models, access to care, and oncology care pathways. This session will also explore emerging therapies in the oncology pipeline. 

Target Audience

Pharmacists who practice in managed care settings.
