Strengthening the strategic role of HTA statisticians: XXX

As part of a 2025 SIG focus on knowledge sharing, inspiring each other, and fostering innovative approaches to HTA statistical leadership while addressing common challenges, we’ll try to have a recurring topic where different SIG members share insights about the HTA statistics setup in their company. E.g.

  • How early HTA statisticians are involved
  • The impact of EU HTA on functions
  • Reflections on opportunities and challenges
  • Etc.

Anders and Milana will kick things off by sharing insights into how HTA statistics is set up in Novo Nordisk.

EU HTA day-to-day challenges

In an email, Anna Wiksten brought up the discussion around the number of subjects/event needed for comparative subgroup analyses to make sense in EU HTA JCA.

This is one example of a “practical”” problem that may arise as companies engage in JCA preparations. Practical, in the sense that you need to decide on a number to align with your stakeholders on, put in an SAP, and potentially defend towards assessors. It’s also an example of an area where we could consider if it’s worthwhile to invest in communicating a SIG perspective.

At the March meeting, we want to discuss what other practical JCA problems we face or foresee - and where it may make sense to discuss or even disseminate best practices in the SIG.
