This page provides a timely snapshot of our most recent negotiation activity, including an overview of open files and updates on key milestones from the past 4 weeks.
How current is this information?
The content on this page is updated on an ongoing basis to reflect the most recent available information. Please note that updates about negotiation activity may take 1–2 weeks to be processed.
“Under consideration for negotiation” means we’re currently considering the evidence and gathering other information to inform the negotiation approach, including the drug’s eligibility for expedited negotiation pathways. Once negotiation activities are underway, the drug is in active negotiation.

Negotiations ended without agreement
Both negotiating parties strive to reach timely agreements. In rare cases, alignment between manufacturers and the pCPA can’t be reached. Each negotiation is unique, and decisions are made based on the information available at the time.
The pCPA always welcomes unsolicited offers, should a manufacturer want to re-engage and go back to the negotiation table.
When agreements can’t be reached, public drug plans may make decisions about providing coverage through their exceptional access programs.
There have been no negotiations completed without agreement in the last four weeks
Negotiations that weren’t pursued - Last 4 weeks
We don’t pursue negotiations in cases where the drug’s health technology assessment (HTA) recommendations were negative or “do not reimburse.” Other reasons, such as the manufacturer declining to negotiate or a lack of supply of the drug in Canada, may be reflected on the drug’s page in the database.
