Research projects

edit

Up to 2024, he was involved in 18 research projects funded by the European Commission (Framework Programmes, FP6, FP7, H2020), as a research leader, coordinator or participant.
2024-ben futó projektek:

  • Development and evaluation of innovative and digital health technologies; Thematic Excellence Programme, Research Leader (National Research, Development and Innovation Fund project (TKP2021-NKTA-36).[7]
  • Changes in the Socio-economic Burden of Epidermolysis Bullosa in Europe, BUR-EB;,[8] researcher (With the support of the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases COFUND-EJP N825575, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, with the support of the National Research and Innovation Centre, 2019–2.1.7-ERA-NET).

Health Technology Assessment and Health Economics Research / Projects

edit

To date, he has conducted and published nearly 40 Health Technology Assessments with colleagues, mostly in the field of immune-mediated diseases, with a special focus on drugs used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondylitis ankylopoetica, systemas sclerosis, scleroderma, sclerosis multiplex, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis. In addition, he has carried out health economics analyses in other important areas such as neurology (stroke, epilepsy, dementia, neuropathia, Parkinson disease), urology (benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer), cardiology (hypertonia, myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease), dermatology (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa), diabetes, vascular surgery, hospital infection, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, digital biomarkers, artificial intelligence in pediatric diabetes type 1. and implantable medical devices. His main achievements in the field of technology assessment are the analysis of biological agents and biosimilars. For the latter, he has been actively and successfully involved in health economics research on biosimilars and their uptake in European countries.

Their research on biosimilars was published in 2014 in the European Journal of Health Economics Supplement, edited by guest editors.[9] The Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices (European Medical Device Regulation-MDR) has been dealing with health technology assessment of medical devices since 2017.[10]

Research

edit

Within Hungary

edit

His research findings and health technology assessment reports have contributed to the development of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) therapies (infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab, rituximab, abatacept) have become publicly funded in Hungary and patients with rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriasis have access to appropriate therapy. László Gulácsi founded the first Health Technology Assessment Research Centre (HunHTA) at Corvinus University in 2000, which has carried out nearly 40 technology analyses in different specialties (rheumatology, gastroenterology, neurology, urology, orthopaedics, internal medicine, cardiology).

Internationally

edit

His research has contributed substantially to the rapid introduction of biosimilar of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (biological DMARDs) into practice and received public funding across Europe. The most important publications on biologics and biosimilars in the field of immune-mediated disease indications.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] László Gulácsi was one of the first to draw attention to the fact that in the case of biological therapies, it is not individual biological agents but therapeutic sequences that should be compared in the context of health economics analyses. His research has pointed out that the availability of effective innovative biological therapies varies considerably between European countries and that this difference cannot be fully explained by differences in GDP between countries.[27][28] He was among the first to demonstrate that the efficacy and safety of bilogic and biosimilar agents are not significantly different. He is among the first to demonstrate that the quality of life of patients receiving a biologic/biosimilar therapy is not significantly different from that of the general population. He was the first to show that dysmenorrhoea is the most important factor reducing quality of life in young women.[29]
