The ODPRN is not currently conducting drug class reviews at this time.
The ODPRN has completed a total of 12 drug class reviews since 2013. These reviews were based on an innovative framework that incorporated systematic reviews and network meta-analysis, economic modeling, real-world prescribing and adherence, qualitative analysis of patient and clinician perspectives, and an environmental scan of listing across Canada. Research findings were synthesized to make recommendations to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care regarding public drug reimbursement policies.
