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.​
