#IGTValues: Family members and #caregivers of #patients with genetic diseases often give up traditional jobs to care for the patient full-time. This tradeoff must be considered & appropriately valued. gene-therapies.org/value-of-…

The unique nature of #genetherapy means we must think differently about how these transformative treatments are valued. We believe there are several elements to consider in ensuring a holistic & accurate assessment of gene therapies' value. gene-therapies.org/value-of-… (1/11)

IGT Chairman @ErikPaulsen explains why our work to remove regulatory barriers to access is critical for #GaucherDisease patients & others: “If patients cannot access or afford #genetherapies once approved, the true potential of these therapies will never be fully realized.”

"These are exciting times & our laws need to keep pace w/ the science. VBPs can & will evolve & if given flexibility now...will ensure that 'how' we pay for innovative treatments will allow for continued innovation in the treatments themselves." - IGT Chairman @ErikPaulsen
