CAR-T Cell-Therapies in Development, Update 2022
CAR-T cell-therapies are commonly indicated as „transformative“ therapies referring to the huge expectations associated with them since their market approval in 2017 (USA) and 2018 (Europe). Due to the hope, but also the enormous prices a horizon scanning (HS) document was first published in 2020 to support budget planning in hospitals. In 2020 13 CAR-T cell-therapies in advanced stages were identified. Of these, in addition to Yescarta® and Kymriah®, that were already approved at that time, three further therapies have since been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) between 8/ 2020 and 03/2022: Tecartus® (2020), Abcema® (2021) and Breyanzi® (2022).
This HS document updates the earlier report by surveying the status of the ten therapies already described in 2020 and adding additional therapies that have since then reached a later phase of clinical testing. Within the next year 2023 one new CAR-T cell-Therapy for multiple myeloma will eventually be approved, but further development can be expected with the extension of the approved CAR-T cell-therapies towards earlier lines of therapy and new indications.

Covid-19: HSS/ Horizon Scanning Living Document (v20 February/ March 2022)
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.
