Icatibant: 7 agencies, 2008–2021

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 icatibant: all 10 decisive outcomes across 6 agencies were positive or positive with restrictions.

The file has been open for more than a decade: 12.3 years separate the first record, 29 Oct 2008 at HAS (France), from the most recent, 4 Feb 2021 at AOTMIT (Poland).

No assessment is on file from CIPM (Spain) and G-BA (Germany), each among the eight highest-volume agencies here.

Nothing has been added since 2021; on this evidence the file is dormant.

4 distinct indication wordings are recorded for icatibant by the agencies that label one in English (AWMSG, PBAC and SMC).

2 of these 12 records carry a year of decision but no day, so any interval quoted here is approximate to within a year.

HAS (France) was first to assess icatibant, on 29 Oct 2008; AOTMIT (Poland) did not open a file until 4 Feb 2021 — an unusually long tail of 12.3 years between the earliest and latest system to look at it.

3 of the 7 agencies here assessed icatibant more than once, HAS (France) most often at 4 entries — repeat review is the norm for this molecule rather than the exception.

7 of the 18 agencies in this archive hold a record for icatibant.

The full ledger for icatibant reads 9 recommended, 1 other, 1 advice and 1 restricted.
