Lanreotide: 7 agencies, 2003–2026

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 lanreotide: all 12 decisive outcomes across 5 agencies were positive or positive with restrictions.

PBAC (Australia) has been easier on lanreotide than on its own caseload: it refused 0 of 6 decisive submissions here (0%), against a base rate of 24% across everything it has assessed.

The file has been open for more than a decade: 23 years separate the first record, 2 Jul 2003 at HAS (France), from the most recent, 2026 at PBAC (Australia).

PHARMAC (New Zealand) changed its position: recommended on 1 Nov 2004, restricted by 21 Feb 2019.

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

Not every gap is a refusal: for lanreotide, 1 submission was never made and 1 was withdrawn or terminated before a decision — an outcome set by the company rather than the assessor.

The file is active: 3 of 20 records date from 2023 or later.

The programme is broad: 10 distinct indication wordings are recorded for lanreotide by the agencies that label one in English (AWMSG, PBAC and SMC).

10 of these 20 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 lanreotide, on 2 Jul 2003; CIPM (Spain) did not open a file until 24 Jul 2023 — an unusually long tail of 20 years between the earliest and latest system to look at it.

The record arrives in waves: 6 separate years each carry two or more decisions, spread across 13 years in total.

3 of the 7 agencies here assessed lanreotide more than once, PBAC (Australia) most often at 10 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 lanreotide.

The full ledger for lanreotide reads 11 recommended, 5 other, 1 withdrawn and 1 restricted, with 2 in other categories.
