Description

In the wake of an increasing amount of off-label uses and recommendations, the following paramount questions arise: Can the importance of a marketing authorisation be disregarded, mostly for cost-related issues? Is off-label a relevant comparator from the pricing and reimbursement perspective? Can a product used off-label be considered as a competitor for purposes of market definition? What other implications are there from the regulatory, commercial and antitrust angle?
