EU HTA Publication Digest: Shaping a suitable EU HTA dossier template: why the German template is not fit for purpose

MTRC shares the most relevant and impactful publications in the field of market access and HEOR for medical technologies in Europe through its EU HTA Publications Digest. 

In a recent publication, Schweitzer et al. explored the suitability of the current German HTA dossier templates for the impending EU joint clinical assessment (JCA).

The study examined how extensively safety endpoint and subgroup analyses in German dossiers were actually considered by IQWiG and the G-BA.

The authors found that the current German HTA templates significantly increased the workload of HTA developers while leaving many reported outcomes unconsidered by IQWiG and G-BA. To mitigate duplicative efforts and ensure prompt availability of medicinal products in line with the EU HTA Regulation framework, the authors recommend well-defined dossier requirements, early consultations, and proactive engagement with HTA developers.

Publication Digest: A minimum dataset for destination therapy with left ventricular assist device: the evidence that matters to decision makers

MTRC shares the most relevant and impactful publications in the field of market access and HEOR for medical technologies in Europe through its Publications Digest. In a recent study, Puñal-Riobóo et al. developed a standardized minimum outcome dataset for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) registries to address key evidence gaps and meet the needs of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies and healthcare professionals. Building on prior HTA findings from EUnetHTA, the authors conducted a structured three-round Delphi process with an expert panel of cardiologists to assess the relevance of various outcome measures. The consensus resulted in 18 key outcomes and 47 variables across seven healthcare domains, strengthening the reliability of real-world evidence and supporting more informed clinical and policy decisions.
