The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and EUnetHTA, the European Network for Health Technology Assessment, met to review the progress of their cooperation in London on 14 May 2013. This was the sixth meeting since the start of their collaboration in 2010.The focus of this meeting was on how regulators and health-technology-assessment (HTA) bodies can work together to facilitate drug development by cooperating in giving advice to pharmaceutical companies. EUnetHTA is piloting joint early dialogue with technology sponsors by a number of national HTA agencies and the EMA has a scientific advice programme in place to guide companies in the design of trials that will generate appropriate evidence to enable better decision-making by all players in the healthcare systems of European Union (EU) Member States.
