Brief description The government funds cancer drugs, but drugs have to provide value for money to Australian taxpayers. Most proposed cancer drugs provide a benefit to patients but reaching agreement on how much the government will pay for these drugs often delays access by months, and often over a year due to uncertainty regarding drugs’ long-term effects. This research will test methods and develop guidelines to reduce this uncertainty and provide earlier access to new cancer drugs.
