Case Study
Risk assessment & impact on pipeline asset strategy
September 21, 2026
Situation
Our client engaged our Advisory experts to determine Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)-related risk exposure across 11 priority pipeline assets, seeking to understand effects on pricing, reimbursement, competitor responses and payer contracting pressure, among other key assumptions defining future market conditions.
Solution
Our Advisory experts:
- Created an IRA risk assessment and impact matrix to understand internal and external factors shaping each assets risk profile.
- Product specific features driving IRA-related risks (e.g., orphan / rare disease, benefit coverage, payer mix, label expansion, forecasted sales, etc.).
- Identified competitors expected to be subjected to price negotiation – assessed timing & impact on future market conditions.
- Determined key implications facing each asset.
Success
The client was able to leverage our analysis to inform a series of key strategic decisions on investment, R&D and risk mitigation.
