Accelerating your Market Access for innovative medical technologies with the ‘Trial upon application’ (Antragsgesteuerte Erprobung) pathway in Germany
‘Trial upon application’ (Antragsgesteuerte Erprobung), a process initiated by the G-BA, holds the promise of streamlining market access for innovative medical technologies in the Federal Republic of Germany. Medtech and diagnostics companies can leverage this pathway to submit applications, which are meticulously evaluated by the G-BA. Successful applications then pave the way for the G-BA to design and execute tailored clinical trials.
Through this pathway, innovative medical technologies can be made available ahead of regular reimbursement decisions which can take many years. Therefore, it allows patients to benefit from the medical technologies’ potential therapeutic advantages sooner. Also, generating positive data through this pathway enhances companies’ chances of obtaining reimbursement for their products, increasing market entry and adoption potential.
Justin Stindt Consultants is a leading consulting agency specialized in the trial upon application pathway. Our dedicated team of consultants and specialists will help you articulate the added benefit of your product in the trial upon application dossier. The overall process is complex, but with our expert team by your side, your primary responsibilities end after the application submission.
