ESMO-MCBS Scorecards

ESMO MCBS 1000x150

The ESMO-MCBS Scorecards provides a centralised location of cancer medicines that have been scored and published by ESMO.

It includes all cancer medicines approved by the European Medicines Agency (from January 2016) and the US Food and Drug Administration (from January 2020).

The ESMO-MCBS Scorecards

The ESMO-MCBS Scorecards allows you to filter either by Agent, Tumour or Score giving priority to different criteria such as Agent and Tumour Type and Tumour sub-type and Tumour sub-group in the Curative or Non-curative setting. This content will be updated regularly and communicated to ESMO Members.

Evaluation form 1 For new approaches to adjuvant therapy or new potentially curative therapies
Evaluation form 2a For therapies that are not likely to be curative with primary endpoint of OS with separate sheets for:
Evaluation form 2b For therapies that are not likely to be curative with primary endpoint PFS with separate sheets for:
Evaluation form 2c  For therapies that are not likely to be curative with primary endpoint other than OS or PFS or equivalent (non-inferiority) studies
Evaluation form 3  For single-arm studies in “orphan diseases” and for diseases with “high unmet need” when primary outcome is PFS or ORR.
