2. Member/subteam/guest driven topic
- Update from training subteam (15min/Anna Wiksten)
- Click here to download Anna’s presentation
- Discussion:
- Important to ensure that the prep work, logistics etc for those teaching is managable
- Consider doing something like the Visualization SIG’s Wonderful Wednesdays in 2026 (contingent on an autumn 2025 pilot being succesful)?
- For training for non-HTA statisticians, important to clarify what the SIG adds that vendors can’t (in particular, need to ensure diverse speakers for such an event)
- Action Anders: follow up with PSI on webinar options including for a training track, loop in Anna
- Policy questions, intermediate endpoints & PRO’s (20min/Anja Rettlebach MSD - guest speaker)
- Lara presented Anja’s slides
- Action all: Is there an interest in driving an HTA ESIG track to drive work on strengthening the evidence of correlation of non-OS endpoints (PROs) with PFS?
- Could be an opportunity to get behind EFPIA initiatives + connect company needs/our day jobs with SIG/cross-company work
- Katrin mentioned the cross-company SAVVY efforts as a potential inspiration
- Will take the topic up again at next meeting to assess whether we can have a subteam on this

- Opportunity to revisit the leadership model and source fresh perspectives
- Rotational leadership (ISPOR style)?
- How to best deal with admin aspects of SIG leadership?
- Email list management
- Meeting invites
- SIG comms
- Lara: supportive of rotational model, don’t switch out both chairs from the get-go to ensure continuity
- Katrin: consider having maybe 3 people to distribute work
- Temporary subteam to bring recommendations for May SIG meeting
- Arthur, Katrin, Anders. Anders will set up a meeting.
