Raltegravir: 7 agencies, 2008–2019

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 raltegravir: all 16 decisive outcomes across 7 agencies were positive or positive with restrictions.

Assessment has run over 11 years, from 2 Apr 2008 at HAS (France) to 17 Apr 2019 at HAS (France).

AWMSG (Wales) changed its position: recommended on 25 Nov 2008, restricted by 10 Dec 2015.

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

Not every gap is a refusal: for raltegravir, 1 submission was never made — an outcome set by the company rather than the assessor.

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

The programme is broad: 8 distinct indication wordings are recorded for raltegravir by the agencies that label one in English (AWMSG, PBAC and SMC).

2 of these 25 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 raltegravir, on 2 Apr 2008; CONITEC (Brazil) did not open a file until 4 Sep 2017 — an unusually long tail of 9.4 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 8 years in total.

Restriction is doing real work here: 10 of 16 decisive outcomes narrowed raltegravir to a subgroup rather than accepting or refusing it outright, at AWMSG (Wales), SMC (Scotland) and TLV (Sweden).

5 of the 7 agencies here assessed raltegravir more than once, HAS (France) most often at 8 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 raltegravir.

The full ledger for raltegravir reads 10 restricted, 6 recommended, 6 other and 1 advice, with 2 in other categories.
