“We punch well above our weight,” says Jeremy Sturgess-Smith, the co-founder and finance director of Aquis-listed Ananda Developments Plc (AQSE:ANA) whose CBD-derived lead asset, MRX1, is showing promise in chronic pain and heart disease. With a valuation of just under £16 million, you would also say Ananda has flown well below the radar given the phase II-ready status of MRX1 and pre-clinical data shared with the market last week. A Nasdaq-listed company with those credentials might expect to have an additional nought on the end of that figure above (at the least). But this is the hard reality of UK life science at the moment – drug development groups of Ananda’s ilk just don’t receive the recognition or funding of their American counterparts. It has led to a handful of small innovators, including Redx Pharma and C4X Discovery, to quit the public arena. Badge of honour That’s not something Ananda is...

The #JCA is now live! Today marks a momentous day in international #HTA with the implementation of the Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA). This initiative represents one of the most significant shifts in HTA practice to date, with ambitious goals to harmonise processes, enhance #patientaccess, and reduce duplication of efforts across #Europe. These ambitious plans also raise questions about capacity, uncertainty and efficiency. P4A’s insights from HTA agencies like #Sweden’s #TLV highlight the resource demands and uncertainties of aligning joint HTA outputs with national frameworks, illustrating the challenges of achieving the meaningful harmonization of processes that has been envisaged for JCA and therefore potentially negatively impacting patient access to oncology drugs and #ATMPs. Other products with #orphandesignation will continue to go through For developers of oncology drugs and ATMPs, the implications are even more profound. As the market for orphan medicines becomes increasingly constrained, ensuring that evidence requirements are met will be critical to achieving sustainable access. At P4A, we are committed to supporting developers navigate this new landscape. With one of the biggest concerns of JCA being the selection of #PICOs and timeline for submitting the evidence package to address the selected PICOs, we have developed the #PICO+ simulation model which is specifically designed to prepare for the evidence requirements for oncology and ATMPs. This will help developers identify the potential PICOs that will be requested in the JCA, allowing for evidence preparation while optimising resources. Commentary to date on JCA has largely focused on the challenges—from capacity issues to alignment complexities. Now that it is in effect, it is time to shift focus and embrace the possibilities it brings. If the best-case scenario plays out, this initiative has the potential to drive meaningful improvements for #patients across Europe. With collaboration, innovation, and the right tools, we can make the most of this new era of joint HTA. #JointHTA #JCA #EUHTA #RareDiseases #Innovation #Healthcare #P4Ainsights #Partners4Access
