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.

Gain market access in Germany prior to having a marketing authorization, thanks to the ‘Compassionate Use’ (Härtefall) program

In Germany, certain medical products may be used prior to marketing authorization if they are provided free of charge to a group of patients with serious or life-threatening illnesses who have no other suitable alternatives. If the drug meets these criteria, a compassionate use program can be put in place, and the appropriate higher federal authority (BfArM or PEI, depending on the type of drug) must be notified before the program is initiated. 
  • PEI is the competent authority for Sera, Vaccines, Blood preparations, Tissues and tissue preparations, Allergens, Advanced therapy medicinal products, Xenogenic medicinal products, and Genetically engineered blood components
  • BfArM is the competent authority for all other medicinal products

This program facilitates the early availability of the drug before obtaining marketing authorization, enabling patients to access its benefits sooner. Furthermore, the additional support provided through the generation of positive data, can strengthen the company’s case for securing marketing authorization. The following decision tree is followed to assess whether the prerequisites are met:
