Roundtable Discussion: Strategies for Optimal and Equitable Care in Lupus and Lupus Nephritis
A Science & Innovation Webinar, presented by GSK.
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of lupus that may lead to significant chronic kidney disease and potentially end stage kidney disease (ESKD). African American Patients with LN are at a higher risk of developing ESKD. Early and accurate diagnosis and testing are key strategies in providing optimal patient care. Evaluation of the needs of the affected community through an interdisciplinary and integrated care management approach may address the gap in inequitable access to care. This presentation and roundtable discussion will be structured to help understand what strategies can be implemented to support patients that do not have access to optimal and equitable care.

A CGRP Receptor Antagonist for the Acute Treatment of Migraine: Focus on Early Treatment
A Science & Innovation Webinar, presented by Abbvie.
One of the main goals of acute treatment of migraine is freedom from pain and associated symptoms without recurrence. It is therefore important that every person with migraine, regardless of migraine frequency, be offered a migraine specific treatment that has freedom from pain data, freedom from associated symptom data and evidence that the treatment can prevent a moderate to severe migraine attack. The objective for this webinar is to review the migraine disease state and phases of a migraine attack, and outline clinical data as a treatment option for the acute treatment of migraine.

Thirty Years of Targeted Immuno-Modulators Evolution: More of the Same or Formulary Necessity?
A Science & Innovation Webinar, presented by Abbvie.
Treatment targets are dynamic, changing with our growing understanding of a disease and the emergence of potent therapies that enhance care standards. Newer mechanisms of action have extended rigorous goal attainment including minimal disease activity (MDA) in psoriatic arthritis, clear or almost clear skin in psoriasis, and endoscopic remission in Crohn’s Disease. The benefits of achieving high treatment targets are now strong enough for medical guidelines to advocate for earlier use of targeted immunomodulators for certain conditions. In budget constrained environments, payers need to understand how innovations are driving demand for newer mechanisms of action in the TIMs marketplace.

Partnership Forum – Closing the Gap in Real-World Evidence Use: A Collaborative Approach for Health Care Transformation
Real-world evidence (RWE) is increasingly used to support epidemiologic studies, safety and effectiveness studies, and even contribute to clinical trials or as evidence included in regulatory submissions. However, RWE has a much less prominent role in payer decision-making, particularly due to challenges such as a lack of standards and guidelines for how to evaluate and use RWE, lack of experience in applying RWE to formulary decisions, and lack of understanding how RWE could be most impactful for payer decisions. AMCP is developing standards and resources to support RWE interpretation and application to formulary and medical policy decisions. These standards aim to align RWE definitions, improve the transparency in RWE generation, increase consistency in how sponsors develop and share RWE, and support the ongoing communication between payers and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
This Partnership Forum will convene multi-stakeholder experts to develop resources that will address barriers to RWE use in formulary decision-making through workshop and collaborative activities that will result in a set of RWE standards and tools to facilitate stakeholder communication and streamline the use of RWE.
