Insulin Lispro: 5 agencies, 2007–2020

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 insulin lispro: all 6 decisive outcomes across 4 agencies were positive or positive with restrictions.

The file has been open for more than a decade: 12.6 years separate the first record, 7 Nov 2007 at PHARMAC (New Zealand), from the most recent, 10 Jun 2020 at HAS (France).

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

Nothing has been added since 2020; on this evidence the file is dormant.

1 of these 9 records carries a year of decision but no day, so any interval quoted here is approximate to within a year.

PHARMAC (New Zealand) was first to assess insulin lispro, on 7 Nov 2007; PBAC (Australia) did not open a file until 2017 — an unusually long tail of 9.7 years between the earliest and latest system to look at it.

The record arrives in waves: 3 separate years each carry two or more decisions, spread across 6 years in total.

3 of the 5 agencies here assessed insulin lispro more than once, HAS (France) most often at 3 entries — repeat review is the norm for this molecule rather than the exception.

Coverage is narrow: only 5 of the 18 agencies here have assessed insulin lispro.

The full ledger for insulin lispro reads 6 recommended, 2 not assessed and 1 other.
