Bio­Marin an­nounced a new three-year deal on Tues­day with the Ger­man Na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Statu­to­ry Health In­sur­ance Funds (GKV-SV), which cov­ers about 90% of the Ger­man pop­u­la­tion, for re­im­burse­ment of its gene ther­a­py Roc­ta­vian (val­oc­toco­gene rox­a­parvovec-rvox) for pa­tients with se­vere he­mo­phil­ia A.
