The European Commission released the first joint clinical assessment (JCA) report on 9 June for the orphan medicine tovorafenib (Ojemda®), developed by Ipsen, used to treat paediatric low-grade glioma (a type of brain tumour), after being endorsed by all member states. This marks an important milestone for European cooperation on health technology assessments (HTA) under the HTA regulation which came into force January 2025. The JCA was conducted with the Irish National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics (NCPE) as the assessor and the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) as the co-assessor.
