Abstract

In recent years, more and more innovative drugs have been approved based on single-arm trials. However, the four characteristics of single arm trial drugs, i.e. lack of compared drugs, lack of direct comparison data, surrogate endpoints and unstable evidence, bring great difficulty and uncertainty to the assessment of medical insurance reimbursement decision. In this paper, based on overseas experience and the adjustment of China’s National Reimbursement Drug List, suggestions were provided for optimizing the evaluation method for single arm trial drugs, in order to promote the refined development of reimbursement access management.
