Psoriasis Long-lasting autoimmune disease characterized by raised, red, scaly patches of abnormal skin. Typically affects the outside of the elbows, knees or scalp, though it can appear on any location. A non-curable disease; however, treatment options help to control the disease for many patients. Psoriasis can be mild, moderate or severe. Severity is based on how much of the body is affected by psoriasis. However, the severity of psoriasis is also measured by how psoriasis affects a person's quality of life. This study provides information on the current reimbursement situation with biological agents in various European countries, which are part of the treatment plans of moderate to severe Psoriasis.
Methods The international HTA database Prismaccess includes over 20.000 worldwide decisions by market access authorities. This study includes the decisions of : France Transparency Committee Haute Autorité de Santé TC HAS / CEESP England National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - NICE Scotland Scottish Medicines Consortium - SMC Germany Federal Joint Committee - G-BA, IQWIG Sweden The Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency, TLV As therapeutic area Psoriasis was chosen. Investigation period was from 2011 to October 2017. For comparison, the decision scale was transformed in to a traffic light system.
Added benefit in comparison France TC HAS - ASMR Germany G-BA - Added benefit Sweden TLV - Cost-Effect. England NICE - Cost-Effect. Scotland SMC - Cost-Effect. Recommended without limitations ASMR IV and higher in all subgroups Added benefit in all subgroups Recommended Accepted Accepted Recommended with limitations ASMR V / Insufficient in at least one subgroup No added benefit in at least one subgroup Recommended with restriction / and condition Accepted (with limitations) Restricted Not recommended / not reimbursed Insufficient Lesser benefit Not recommended Not recommended Not recommended

France Overall: 24 decisions with an SMR of Substantial in 23 subpopulations Moderate in 2 subpopulations Insufficient in 10 subpopulations And mostly no improvement in the added benefit
France Focus on new therapies (4 decisions) Decision for an insufficient benefit increased. Also added benefit for an ASMR of IV increased.
Sweden 14 decisions incl. re evaluations Majority is approved and no negative recommendation New therapies (Apremilast, Brodalumab, Ixekizumab, Secukinumab) all approved with restriction (and condition)
Scotland Total 10 decisions with the majority restricted. Not recommended due to nonsubmission. New therapies: only Apremilast was considered as cost-effective and accepted without limitations.
England Overall 6 decisions Mainly accepted with limitations New therapies are all accepted with limitation Apremilast first submission not recom-mended because not costeffective
Germany Only new therapies were rated in the benefit assessment, with the majority of an added benefit.

Summary The MA label for moderate and severe patients for new biologic therapies is not fully implemented by all authorities. Range from full access (Germany) to 3 rd line treatment (France) The appropriate comparator therapy is different specified by each authority. In general clinical data was mostly accepted. Clinical data based on Placebo e.g. is assessed differently by each authority. Treatments are seen mostly as cost-effective to patients with severe psoriasis, and are a reason for restrictions.
Implications A one size fits all HTA is not recommendable for Europe given the significant differences in the application of HTA methods and preferences for analyses. Especially patients with moderate Psoriasis might suffer from different country-specific access to new treatments.
