Are Traditional Global Value Dossiers Enough? What to Know Before You Decide
Pharma invests billions in R&D, yet patients still face delays as payers demand stronger evidence and HTA standards rise. GVDs have become the bridge between regulatory approval and reimbursement, shaping the value story for every market. With AI-powered GVDs, that story evolves in real time accelerating approvals, strengthening payer trust, and getting therapies to patients faster
Pharmaceutical Market Access Is Facing New Barriers, And Global Value Dossiers Hold the Key
Pharmaceutical companies invest billions in breakthrough therapies, yet patients often wait months or even years for access. The bottleneck is clear: payers demand stronger evidence, cost effectiveness, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies have raised standards, and traditional market access approaches find it challenging to keep pace.
Executives, Market Access directors, and Medical Affairs teams face two distinct battles: regulatory approval and reimbursement approval each requiring unique strategies, evidence packages, and stakeholder engagement.
Global Value Dossiers (GVDs) have emerged as the strategic bridge between clinical development and market access success. Yet many companies still rely on static PDFs, which cannot fully adapt to today’s evidence-driven landscape and require intensive manual work.
Next-generation GVDs powered by AI are transforming market access. These platforms integrate Real-World Evidence (RWE) and HEOR data, streamline HTA submissions, and strengthen payer relationships, helping patients receive therapies faster while leveraging the period of exclusivity optimally.
Understanding the Market Access Evidence Challenge
Despite roughly billions being invested in R&D, promising treatments often sit on shelves after regulatory approval. Regulatory bodies may approve based on safety and efficacy, but payers require comprehensive economic evidence, delaying access by several months.
Take a breakthrough in oncology therapy: manufacturers must prepare tailored value propositions for dozens of payers across multiple countries, each with unique requirements, timelines, and evaluation frameworks. The result is delayed patient access, higher costs, and reduced portfolio returns.
These days payers operate under constrained budgets and scrutiny. They demand not just clinical efficacy but RWE, HEOR analyses, and comparative effectiveness research. They want to understand real-world performance, cost impact, and relative value, requiring pharma companies to match this sophistication in value communication strategies.
HTA as Mandatory Gatekeepers
HTA bodies like NICE (UK), HAS (France), and IQWIG (Germany) have evolved into critical gatekeepers, influencing pricing, reimbursement, and patient access.
Starting in 2025, the EU mandates Joint Clinical Assessments (JCAs) for certain drug categories, expanding over time. Companies must prepare for coordinated, multi-country evaluations demanding evidence standardization and strategic alignment.
HTA methodology increasingly incorporates RWE, patient-reported outcomes, and societal cost perspectives. Globally, HTA influence is growing: Canada, Australia, and emerging markets are enhancing capabilities, while US private payers adopt HTA practices. This trend presents both challenges and opportunities for companies investing in comprehensive GVD strategies.
Defining Global Value Dossiers – Building the foundation
Pharma companies rely on Global Value Dossiers (GVDs) as the master evidence repository that bridges regulatory success with market access. Unlike local reimbursement dossiers or HTA submissions, a GVD synthesizes clinical data, health economics, and Real-World Evidence (RWE) into a cohesive value narrative for global use.
Its lifecycle is clear: regulatory approval → GVD development → Global Reimbursement Dossier (GRD) creation → HTA submissions → reimbursement → patient access.
Forward-thinking companies also invest in proactive planning connecting Target Product Profiles (TPPs) with payer frameworks, conducting Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs), selecting the right clinical endpoints, and mapping economic arguments. This ensures value communication can start immediately post-approval, reducing delays in patient access.
Why This Foundation Matters: Enabling Consistent Global Messaging
Once built, a GVD becomes the single source of truth for value communication across affiliates. Without it, local teams risk crafting fragmented messages, leading to payer skepticism and weakened credibility
GVDs solve this by providing:
- Core messages that remain constant (e.g., primary endpoints, safety data)
- Adaptable elements for local tailoring (e.g., comparators, economic models)
AI powered GVD platforms strengthen this framework further by delivering real-time updates. When new RWE, regulatory guidance, or post market data emerges, global teams can stay aligned ensuring every market operates from the same evidence base while adapting intelligently to local needs as well.
Critical Limitations of Traditional GVD Approaches: Where the Old Way Falls Short
For many companies, building a GVD is still a manual heavy, static exercise. Teams spend weeks formatting tables, cross referencing studies, and copying data between documents, devoting 60–70% of their time to administration instead of strategic communication.
The problems compound quickly:
- Static PDFs make local adaptation painful, forcing affiliates to recreate documents for each payer or HTA body. The result? Inconsistent messaging, outdated evidence, and spiraling translation costs
- Slow evidence updates where, new clinical data, RWE, or HEOR insights take months to integrate, often leaving dossiers outdated just as payer negotiations begin
- Compliance risks rise when affiliates modify content without oversight, leading to version control gaps or off-label claims
Next-Generation GVD Solutions: Turning Bottlenecks into Breakthroughs
The shift from static PDFs to digital GVDs solved part of the problem, making dossiers modular, interactive, and easier to update. But digitization alone is not enough. It still leaves teams struggling with evidence synthesis, economic modeling, and version control.
This is where AI-powered GVDs comes in and transform dossiers into living, intelligent platforms:
AI-Powered Automation – Synthesizes SLRs, clinical trial data, HEOR models, RWE, and PROs, cutting manual work by 50–70%.
Templates & Blueprints – Integrates evidence outputs into payer-ready structures that ensure consistency across markets.
Embedded Economics – Auto-links QALY, ICER, and budget impact models directly into narratives.
Human-in-the-Loop – SMEs refine AI drafts to ensure credibility, compliance, and scientific rigor.
With an interactive platform, teams can work efficiently, can explore evidence dynamically, evaluate outcomes, and trust that every data point is current and reliable
Four Compelling Reasons to Adopt AI-Enabled GVDs
1. Consistency Across Global Teams
AI-powered platforms keep value messaging uniform, syncing updates to RWE or safety data globally while allowing local adaptation. Strategic alignment of HEOR and clinical narratives builds credibility with payers.
2. Rapid Evidence Updates
AI integrates new clinical trials and post-market evidence in real time. Interactive dossiers provide payers and HTA bodies access to the latest evidence instantly, improving transparency and trust.
3. Integrated HEOR & RWE
AI synthesizes clinical, real-world, and economic data into cohesive value stories. Dashboards enable payers to evaluate complex outcomes, while audit trails ensure transparency and compliance.
4. Future-Proof Market Access
Machine learning identifies emerging HTA trends, allowing proactive updates. Modular AI-driven platforms quickly reconfigure dossiers to evolving payer requirements.
