Oncology societies already grade how much benefit each new drug gives. Payers should tie the maximum price they pay to that grade.
The ESMO Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale and ASCO Value Framework grade drugs by survival gain, quality of life and toxicity, but prices bear little relation to the grades; several analyses find no correlation between price and benefit. The proposal is for a coalition of public payers to publish a price corridor per benefit tier (for example a multiple of GDP per capita per life-year gained for grade 4-5 versus a much lower ceiling for grade 1-2) and to make the tier a binding input to negotiation, with prices revisited when confirmatory data change the grade.
