Workshop B: Enhancing Market & Patient Access to Novel CKD Therapies Amongst a Growing Treatment Landscape

1:00 pm - Monday 16th March 2026

Demonstrating value to payors over existing treatments; overcoming systemic barriers to adoption, from shifting nephrology’s focus beyond dialysis to embedding education at centers of excellence, to navigating payer expectations and addressing inequities in patient access.

Key Objectives:

  • Identifying barriers to adoption of novel CKD therapies across payer systems and clinical practice
  • Leveraging centers of excellence and global nephrology networks (e.g., GlomCon, ISG, ISN) to accelerate HCP education and patient access
  • Exploring payor and HTA perspectives on value-based pricing, reimbursement restrictions, and trial comparators
  • Addressing disparities in access, mistrust, and underrepresentation of minorities, women, and children in CKD care
  • Defining how early detection, tolerability, and patient education can shape real-world uptake of CKD treatments
