Department 7 Index of barriers Resulted in an index with eight subgroups including different barriers 1.EU-level policy making 2.Funding 3.Data and research 4.Health care system 5.Patient level 6.Stakeholder involvement 7.Standardization 8.Interoperable infrastructure Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 8 Content STSM: PM for PCAD Barriers to PM –Development of an index –Levels of barriers to PM –Index of barriers PM for PCAD patients –Current state of PM in PCAD –Application of EU Index to PCAD Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 9 Current state of PM in PCAD Literature review to analyze current state of PM (e.g. companion diagnostics) in PCAD. PubMed Web of Science Medline Scientific articles Literature review to analyze current state of PM (e.g. companion diagnostics) in PCAD. –Biomarkers identified –Novel biomarker options: gene profiles, pancreas tissue and juice –Complex disease nature –Detection interval  Translation into routine clinical practice experiences major hurdles Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 10 Application of EU Index to PCAD Institute for Public Health Genomics BarrierRecommendations Involved stakeholders Stakeholder involvement Mismatch in needs and provided information between clinical practice and research Facilitate systematic stakeholder involvement in policy making, research, and implementation by: - Early dialogue and agenda setting - EU-platforms From all fields Standardization Lack of comparable data and information in databases Standardization of methods across EU for: - Evaluation research grants (translational research) - Data collection, interpretation, quality assurance - Information on reimbursement decisions EU-catalogue of (promising) biomarkers From all fields Interoperable infrastructure Lack of ICT-support tools for data- and information- sharing Develop ICT-tools for data- and information sharing Should include information on e.g.: - Biobanks, data-accessibility, guidelines From all fields

Department 11 Application of EU Index to PCAD BarrierRecommendationsInvolved stakeholders Policy-making Scattered policies and legislation across EU on research, reimbursement decisions etc. Update and/or develop regulations and legislation on EU-level: - Focus on guidelines to incorporate relevant outcomes for clinical practice Basic science e.g. from industry Translation e.g. HTA-experts Regulatory e.g. member states Healthcare systems e.g. representatives from associations Funding Increased funding, lack of implementation of biomarkers Adjustment of funding models: focus on translation - Best practice guidelines - Conditional reimbursement - Adaptive licensing Basic science e.g. from industry Translation e.g. HTA-experts Regulatory e.g. government bodies Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 12 Application of EU Index to PCAD BarrierRecommendationsInvolved stakeholders Data and research Lack of relevant data: Complexity PCAD (biological processes and interactions) Point-of-care research (CER) to provide relevant biomarkers: - Agreements on type of data, annotation and quality - Adjusted informed consent (EMR) Updated disease models Basic science e.g. from industry Healthcare systems e.g. representatives from associations Patient groups e.g. representatives from associations Lack of information to interpret health data for clinical practice Integrated informational models (communication between clinic and laboratory) - Harmonization of relevant data Turnaround time test Centres of excellence Basic science e.g. from industry Healthcare systems e.g. representatives from associations Lack of information relevant for HTA- evaluation  reimbursement and translation Use HTA-framework in CER: -Best practice guidelines Collaboration between pharma and diagnostic companies Basic science e.g. from industry Translation e.g. HTA-experts Regulatory e.g. government bodies Healthcare systems e.g. representatives from associations Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 13 Application of EU Index to PCAD BarrierRecommendationsInvolved stakeholders Healthcare system Lack of awareness and knowledge of PM for PCAD Training and education - Workshops on e.g. ICT tools, and PM for PCAD - Automated support tools - Adjust curricula healthcare professionals Basic science e.g. from industry Regulatory e.g. government bodies Healthcare systems e.g. representatives from associations Lack of support in clinical decision making Lack of uptake of PM PM to patient Lack of awareness and knowledge of PM for PCAD Develop implementation and dissemination plan for information about PM to PCAD patients and public, e.g.: -Education programs -Communication by healthcare professionals Regulatory e.g. government bodies Healthcare systems e.g. representatives from associations Patient groups e.g. representatives from associations Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 14 Conclusions Challenge to pinpoint what data is relevant for PCAD-care –Barriers exist in effective demonstration of clinical utility of biomarkers –High level of evidence on relevant HTA-aspects needed Barriers are increased due to regulatory issues and budgetary constraints for biomarker research PM-applications need supportive bioinformatics Institute for Public Health Genomics

Department 15 Summary Considerable amount of barriers in: – EU-guidelines – Research & funding: focus on translational studies of promising biomarkers – Education of health care professionals and patients Institute for Public Health Genomics
