ICER publishes final evidence report and policy recommendations on treatments for obesity management

ICER

20 October 2022 - Independent appraisal committee voted that evidence is adequate to demonstrate that semaglutide provides a net health benefit compared to lifestyle modification alone; however, at current pricing, semaglutide represents “low” long-term value for money.

The ICER today released a final evidence report assessing the comparative clinical effectiveness and value of subcutaneous semaglutide (Wegovy, Novo Nordisk), liraglutide (Saxenda, Novo Nordisk), phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia, Vivus Pharmaceuticals), and bupropion/naltrexone (Contrave, Currax Pharma) for the treatment of obesity.
