Visualisation of connecting European JCA evidence with national HTA pathways

EU HTA / JCA / NATIONAL HTA

From EU HTA to national market access across Europe

The EU HTA Regulation creates a common framework for clinical assessment, while reimbursement, pricing and market access requirements remain national. Delta Dossier explores how European assessment connects with national market access, with a particular focus on Germany and France.

EU HTA and national HTA

Five theses on JCA and national HTA pathways

JCA creates a common clinical assessment, but does not replace national HTA

JCA provides a shared European assessment of comparative clinical effectiveness and safety. National HTA, reimbursement and pricing decisions remain within the respective national systems.

National evidence requirements already shape JCA scoping

Populations, comparators and outcomes from Member States influence the JCA assessment scope and can result in multiple PICO questions.

JCA evidence does not automatically meet national HTA requirements

Evidence considered in the JCA may be assessed differently at national level depending on comparator, endpoints, methodology and decision context.

The JCA-to-national HTA gap is country-specific

JCA content may be reused, adapted, updated or supplemented depending on the requirements of each national HTA system.

JCA and national HTA require an integrated evidence strategy

Comparator, population and endpoint requirements should be anticipated early because some evidence gaps cannot be resolved after pivotal development.

Article

Five theses on EU HTA and national HTA

Why one JCA requires different national evidence strategies. One European clinical assessment does not create one national HTA pathway. The article examines how JCA evidence connects with national requirements, using Germany and France as practical examples.

European and local expertise

From European evidence to national market access

Cytel combines European evidence strategy and JCA expertise with established local market access capabilities in Germany and France.

European clinical assessment creates a common starting point, while national HTA, reimbursement and pricing requirements remain country-specific. Cytel, co.value – A Cytel Brand and stève consultants connect these levels across the evidence and market access pathway.

Cytel | European evidence and JCA

Cytel supports evidence generation, PICO strategy, statistical methodology and JCA preparation across the European assessment process. The focus is on building evidence that addresses the European assessment scope while anticipating requirements that may become relevant in national HTA.

co.value | Germany

co.value – A Cytel Brand provides local expertise across the German AMNOG pathway, from early evidence and comparator strategy to benefit assessment and national dossier requirements. This includes translating JCA evidence into the specific requirements of the German benefit assessment.

stève consultants | France

stève consultants brings established French Market Access, HEOR and RWE expertise to the national pathway. The team has worked on more than 750 dossiers submitted to the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) and supports reimbursement strategy, local HTA submissions, early access and evidence generation for the French market.

Local capabilities

Local capabilities across national HTA pathways

European evidence needs to connect with different national assessment, reimbursement and pricing requirements. Local capabilities therefore extend beyond the clinical assessment itself.

Market access & HTA

Local pricing and reimbursement strategy, HTA gap analysis, early access, reimbursement dossiers and support throughout national assessment procedures.

HEOR

Cost-effectiveness dossiers, health economic modelling and adaptation of international economic models to national requirements.

Real-world evidence

Evidence generation using national data sources to address epidemiology, target populations, treatment pathways, effectiveness, safety and healthcare resource use.

Together, these capabilities allow European evidence planning and national HTA preparation to be considered as one connected evidence strategy rather than sequential European and local projects.

Connect European and national HTA

Discuss your EU HTA and national market access strategy

EU HTA creates a shared European framework for clinical assessment, but successful market access still requires country-specific preparation.

Cytel, co.value and stève consultants support manufacturers in identifying where European evidence can be used directly, where national requirements diverge and where additional evidence, analyses or local adaptation may be required.
