Client wanted to position themselves and shape the industry-wide response on the issues arising from importation
CRA Approach
- Collected and analysed real-world evidence on the experience of importation (parallel trade) in global markets
- Drew implications regarding the thread of importation to Client, based on global experience
- Reviewed the HHS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Importation of medicines from Canada and identified potential implications to Client
- Summarized risk of importation to Client and potential next steps to mitigate any negative implications
Client Impact
- Developed a comprehensive summary of how importation works in practice in global markets and identified implications to Client
- Prioritized key risks to Client associated with medicines importation – from perspectives of the US as an importer and Canada as an exporter
- Provided a framework to monitor and assess impact that importation would have on Client and identified actionable next steps
