An IHPI and Rogel Cancer Center team led by Kassem Faraj, M.D., and Vahakn Shahinian, M.D., M.S., examined the association between hospital participation in the 340B Drug Pricing Program and the use of oral specialty drugs to treat advanced prostate cancer. The researchers found that men taking oral specialty drugs had similar overall adherence whether they were treated at a 340B- or non-340B hospital. However, patients from highly vulnerable communities were more likely to continue treatment if they received their care at a 340B hospital. This brief outlines health policy and practice implications of these findings.
