Covid-19: HSS/ Horizon Scanning Living Document (v22 June/July2022)
The establishment of a HSS/ Horizon Scanning System for Covid19 interventions has the intentions of informing health policy makers at an early stage which interventions (vaccinations and drugs) are currently undergoing clinical trials and to monitor them over the next few months in order to support evidence-based purchasing if necessary. The products are monitored with regard to the status of the clinical studies up to approval and finally evaluated for their benefit and harm.
All work steps are conducted in close international (European) cooperation.

ATMPs and Gene Therapies in Development. Horizon Scanning – Update 2022
This report is an update of a previous Horizon Scanning report from 2020, which identified 32 ATMPs. Since August 2020, six of these new ATMPs have been approved by the EMA and five more will be decided by 2023. According to market analyses, 535 ATMPs will be investigated in phase 1 to 3 in 2022, with a further 1,451 in preclinical stages. Coagulation factor VIII (haemophilia A) remains the most common target for non-oncology indications and coagulation factor IX (haemophilia B) has risen to become the second most common indication.
To answer the questions, a systematic search of trial registries was conducted to identify gene therapies and ATMPs in development, followed by extraction of data on identified ongoing clinical trials (limited to phase 2/3 and 3), complemented by a search of the EMA database of medicines under assessment to identify those therapies that are close to approval. Published information on the products and the current development/regulatory status was then collected and subsequently converted into short "vignettes".

Regulation and financing of prenatal screening and diagnostic examinations for fetal anomalies in selected European countries
Prenatal screening and diagnostic tests include First Trimester Screening/Combined Test, non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), invasive (diagnostic) tests and ultrasound screening for fetal anomalies in the second trimester.
