JAPCM (Joint Action for Personalised Cancer Medicine) is a large EU-funded collaboration under EU4Health that started in November 2025. Oslo University Hospital (OUS) serves as the Norwegian addition to OUS the Norwegian partners include the Norwegian Directorate of Health Haukeland University Hospital and Stavanger University Hospital.
The project brings together 146 partners from 29 European countries and aims to expand both knowledge of and access to precision cancer medicine across Europe. Norway plays a central role in JAPCM and leads the work package focused on treatment as well as a subproject within diagnostics and reimbursement. Over the project period (2025-2029) JAPCM will establish new clinical trial networks and develop and test new models for data sharing and alternative pricing agreements. The project also plans to pilot diagnostic and treatment platforms. These activities will contribute to a sustainable roadmap for implementing precision cancer medicine across Europe.
JAPCM builds on national and European initiatives including the EU4Health projects PCM4EU and CanHealas well as the EU Cancer Mission project PRIME-ROSEled by Kjetil Taské recent years Norway has invested substantially in precision cancer medicine through national infrastructures and initiatives such as InPreD (precision diagnostics) the national trial IMPRESS-Norway CONNECT and MATRIX. These efforts have strengthened Norways expertise and capacity in precision oncology both nationally and internationally. It is on this solid foundation that OUS has been assigned the task of leading parts of the large JAPCM initiative.
