Fluticasone / Formoterol: 3 agencies, 2011–2019

This page collects every recorded health technology assessment decision for one molecule across the agencies in our archive, and compares them. The comparison is the point: each agency publishes its own verdict, none publishes how that verdict sits against the others.

What the record shows

No agency in this archive has refused fluticasone / formoterol: all 4 decisive outcomes across 2 agencies were positive or positive with restrictions.

Assessment has run over 7.8 years, from 5 Aug 2011 at AWMSG (Wales) to 10 Jun 2019 at SMC (Scotland).

Coverage is thin among the largest agencies: 5 of the eight highest-volume bodies — PBAC (Australia), PHARMAC (New Zealand) and TLV (Sweden) among them — hold no record for fluticasone / formoterol at all.

Nothing has been added since 2019; on this evidence the file is dormant.

6 distinct indication wordings are recorded for fluticasone / formoterol by the agencies that label one in English (AWMSG and SMC).

AWMSG (Wales) was first to assess fluticasone / formoterol, on 5 Aug 2011; HAS (France) did not open a file until 26 Jun 2013 — a moderate spread of 1.8 years between the earliest and latest system to look at it.

Activity is concentrated rather than steady: 4 of 8 dated records fall in 2018 alone.

3 of the 3 agencies here assessed fluticasone / formoterol more than once, SMC (Scotland) most often at 3 entries — repeat review is the norm for this molecule rather than the exception.

Coverage is narrow: only 3 of the 18 agencies here have assessed fluticasone / formoterol.

The full ledger for fluticasone / formoterol reads 4 recommended, 3 not assessed and 1 other.
