ODs with a positive TPR conclusion, not subject to a conditional approval, and approved without requering a pass would be more likely to be reimbursed in Spain

This study shows that the TPR plays a key role in the P&R process in Spain and highlights that traditional evaluation tools, such us safety and efficacy, were the main drivers of P&R decisions for ODs. A positive conclusion of the TPR, non-conditional approval by the EMA and no obligation for a PASS seems to favourably affect P&R decisions in Spain.
