Ahead-Of-Print: Accelerated Approval Of Cancer Drugs
Earlier this week, we released a paper ahead-of-print examining the
accelerated approval of cancer drugs. In the article, Richard Frank and
coauthors examine a subset of drugs covered by Medicare Part B
.
They find that drugs that complete the accelerated approval process and
positive confirmatory trials, indicating efficacy, do not experience
commensurate increases in prices.
"Regardless of the statistical model, there was no systematic
relationship between price and obtaining a positive confirmatory trial
during the study period," the authors write.
Frank and coauthors argue that this lack of incentive indicates a market
failure. Their results demonstrate that there are few economic payoffs
to undertaking costly activities such as confirmatory trials.

Centre for Addiction and Mental Health wrote an essay
for the Health Affairs Today newsletter discussing socioeconomic
inequalities in US life expectancy.

In Health Affairs Forefront, authors cover a variety of topics including
the Georgia Access Model, the No Surprises Act, and Medicare reform.
In one article, Katie Keith discusses CMS's suspension of the Georgia
Access Model
,
which beginning in the 2023 plan year would have eliminated
HealthCare.gov without transitioning to a state-based marketplace.
Keith also writes about a recent federal district court decision that
upheld the No Surprises Act
against a challenge by a New York surgeon who argued that parts of the
law were unconstitutional.
On the topic of Medicare, Donald Crane and George Halvorson respond
to Donald Berwick and Richard Gilfillan's article about Medicare
Advantage
,
and propose two paths for policy makers working on Medicare reform.
We publish new articles on Forefront every week. Whether you're an
