Beyond the challenges associated with gaining regulatory approval, there are hurdles to overcome as you enter the real world with your innovation. Many of these challenges can be addressed through understanding the non-clinical as well as clinical situation and building integrated plans to quantify and communicate the value of your solution with evidence, drive market access, reimbursement and adoption. On October 24, learn from Brian Vaughn, Leader, ETHICON Franchise Health Economics and Market Access and Diane Francis, Sr. Director, US Field Health Economics & Market Access. Brian and Diane are part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Device Health Economics and Market Access Center of Excellence and will discuss today's market access landscape for medical devices and how to ensure you are starting early with a plan to succeed. Following the presentation, don't miss the opportunity to apply for a one-on-one meeting with these experts as a forum to further discuss your specific market access needs.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a debilitating blood disorder with high mortality rates, yet to date only a single therapy for the disease has been approved by the FDA. Markedly, improved insight into the complex pathophysiology of SCD has led to the recent development of diverse approaches for treatment, including inhibition of hemoglobin polymerization, prevention and treatment of vaso-occlusive events, and disease corrective gene therapy approaches. This symposium will discuss these recent developments highlighting key biological mechanisms of disease and reviewing relevant clinical science around SCD, while underscoring the importance of the patient experience.
