Anita -

The Scienta analysis is as usual timely and useful, but I’d suggest two refinements:
first, the most significant impact on sales will come only when payers adopt the diagnostic as a prerequisite for coverage of the drug, and/or if the companion diagnostic is determined to identify meaningful risk of adverse events; and
in addition to the recommendations made, pharma companies would do well to get out in front of the theranostics wave – proactively seek and commercialize diagnostics that can improve the response rate of their established therapeutics, and solidify their control of the resulting smaller market.

This comment from Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, athttp://www.healthpopuli.com: A growing cadre of engaged, empowered patients want to ‘know their numbers,’ and this includes results from genetic tests. This is part of the emerging retail model of health care. As employers and plan sponsors allocate more financial and clinical responsible for health onto enrollees, people are morphing into health consumers. Those who embrace this demand tools like point-of-care testing. Providers and regulators need to respond to patients who are moving in this direction: it will benefit all stakeholders for patients-people to play a greater role in their own health care.

Byron–thanks for writing. You’re not alone; regulatory and reimbursement issues remain barriers to widespread adoption. Scientia found that health care profession in Europe is especially wary. Anita
