Private: The Impact of MFN & IRP on Access & Launch Sequencing

Monday 12th October 2026 13:00 - 14:00 (BST)


Master your global pricing strategy in the age of MFN and IRP

Masterclass Details:

Global drug pricing is entering a new era of interdependence. International Reference Pricing (IRP) and Most Favoured Nation (MFN) clauses are accelerating price convergence across markets. Early pricing decisions in lower-price markets can cascade internationally, anchoring global price levels. As IRP expands and MFN clauses gain traction, industry leaders must adapt to a landscape where the lowest global price increasingly sets the benchmark and success often depends on early, cross-functional alignment embedding pricing and access strategy well before approval.

In this 60-minute masterclass, industry expert Andrew Cummins will highlight the critical 12–24 month post-launch window, where access strategy and pricing discipline determine global value outcomes. He will examine the growing importance of tiered launch sequencing to protect high-impact markets; the strategic use of early access programmes to enable supply without triggering IRP; and forward-looking pricing simulations to model global impact before launch.

This masterclass will equip you to optimise your global launch strategy in an increasingly interconnected pricing environment.

 

 

Join us to discover how MFN and IRP are reshaping global access strategy – and how to protect value without compromising patient access.

 

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how IRP and MFN policies are reshaping global drug pricing dynamics
  • Identify the key risks and trade-offs between early market access and potential global price erosion
  • Learn how launch sequencing decisions influence international pricing
  • Explore practical strategies to optimise outcomes
  • Discover how cross-functional alignment and early planning can strengthen pricing and access strategy
