Summary

In the context of a rapidly evolving payer environment, Seagen is an emerging multi-product global oncology company. With a strong commitment to demonstrate product value to healthcare system, we are building a sophisticated reimbursement and pricing capability to support optimal market access. The Global Market Access team, within the Global Value Access & Pricing (GVA&P) function, is a team committed to excellence in this capability in order to position Seagen for continued success.

This global team is responsible for strategic planning of value and access for oncology molecules in development, beginning in Phase I-II and extending throughout commercialization across the Seagen portfolio. This work also includes lifecycle planning and access strategy for our current brands, Adcetris, Padcev, and Tukysa. Additionally, the team is responsible for global strategic pricing, including recommendations for global price bands and launch sequence. Each Access Plan integrates coverage and reimbursement, pricing, value evidence, and policy into the development of a strategic plan that supports the overarching commercial position and links to the clinical attributes of the molecule.

This plan elucidates and communicates the global strategies and tactics to secure and maintain access throughout the life cycle of a specific molecule.
