Introduction

The European Scientific Cooperative on Anthroposophic Medicinal Products (ESCAMP) aims to develop the scientific basis for a permanent regulatory framework for anthroposophic medicinal products (AMPs) in Europe.

ESCAMP history: introduction

This includes methods and standards for the scientific assessment of efficacy/effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of AMPs as well as appropriate categories, criteria and documents for regulatory assessment of AMPs.

ESCAMP has a three-stage evaluation strategy

  1. Description of Anthroposophic Medicine and AMPs

  2. Evaluation of AMP therapy as a whole system

  3. Evaluation of single AMPs and AMP groups in monographs

ESCAMP was founded in March 2010 as an incorporated charitable association with headquarters in Freiburg, Germany.
