Myeloma Patients Europe (MPE) has launched a survey for European myeloma patients to understand their information needs. If you are a myeloma patient who has received at least one prior treatment or is currently on their first treatment, MPE would be very grateful if you would take the time to complete the survey. The survey has been developed in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company Amgen and will be run in 12 European countries: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. You can find the country-specific survey links and tranlations in all relevant languages in the link below.

Myeoma UK releases a report on patient preferences in HTA
Our member in the UK, Myeloma UK (MUK) has released a new report on collecting and using patient preference data in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The aim of this project was to understand more about the way patient preference data can be collected and used in decisions about new medicines and treatments.
This report suggests that there is a clear scope for better use of quantitative patient preference studies. Findings show clearly how myeloma impacts the lives of patients and how important it is that these preferences are captured and used to ensure new treatments reflect the needs and preferences of patients and family members living with myeloma and other conditions.
