Episode 10 — 14 May 2026
NICE approves givinostat (Duvyzat) for NHS use in England — the third treatment recommended for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, benefiting around 530 people. Evidence suggests it may delay loss of walking ability by around five years compared with established care. Marcus and Sara examine what this approval reveals about NICE's approach to rare disease evidence under uncertainty, and the HTA implications for the broader ATMPs pipeline.
Plus: EU Critical Medicines Act progress, HTACG capacity building across member states, and ISPOR 2026 in Philadelphia this week.
Hosted by Marcus and Sara.

Five developments shaping HEOR and market access this week.
The EU Joint Clinical Assessment at sixteen months — structural tensions unresolved, thirteen PICOs in a single assessment, and why the first published reports are the real test of whether national HTA bodies actually use the output.
Boehringer's survodutide Phase III posted 16.6% mean weight loss versus placebo. The clinical signal is strong. The HTA road is not — European payers reimburse cardiovascular outcomes, not weight loss numbers, and the comparator is semaglutide.
ISPOR 2026 opens in Philadelphia this week. AI moves to number one on the trends report. Value-based healthcare enters the top three for the first time.
Big pharma quietly restructuring internal HEOR functions. The independence of the evidence function is what gives it credibility in front of an HTA committee.
Norway's New Methods framework updated its process for medical technologies, effective 1 May 2026.
