HTAQ Summer 2024
In this edition, we continue the series on preparations for European Union (EU) HTA now that the draft implementing act on procedural rules for Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) of medicinal products has been published. Additionally, two country-specific analyses consider the impact of AMNOG benefit assessment on drug pricing in Germany, and the impact of participation in the UK’s Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) on recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Embarking on the EU HTAR realization journey: Key insights from the first of six implementing acts
Less than one year before the implementation of the European Union Health Technology Assessment Regulation (EU HTAR), industry and national HTA bodies are still missing clarity on the Joint Scientific Consultation (JSC) and Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) procedures. The first implementing act of JCA has now been published, but does it address the stakeholders’ concerns?

Heard on the street
“Gene therapies have the possibility to transform thousands of lives, but only if we ensure sustainable access to them for all patients … It is incumbent upon the entire health care system to focus on innovative payment solutions that can address the challenges of paying for high-cost, one-time treatments … [considering the] options available to move beyond responding to the high costs with reduced access, while meaningfully addressing the concerns around clinical uncertainty and budget impact.”
Sarah K. Emond, MPP, President and CEO of The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) on publication of a new white paper developed by ICER in collaboration with New Drug Development Paradigms (NEWDIGS) at Tufts Medical Center.
