ICER releases draft evidence report on biologic treatments for asthma
24 September 2018 - Public comment period now open until 22 October 2018; requests to make oral comment during public meeting also being accepted.
The ICER today released a draft evidence report assessing the clinical effectiveness and value of biologic treatments for asthma associated with Type 2 inflammation and/or allergic asthma. The draft report will be open to public comment until 5 pm ET on 22 October 2018.
ICER’s report assesses the effectiveness and value of dupilumab (Dupixent, Sanofi/Regeneron), omalizumab (Xolair, Genentech/Novartis), mepolizumab (Nucala, GlaxoSmithKline), reslizumab (Cinqair, Teva), and benralizumab (Fasenra, AstraZeneca). ICER previously reviewed mepolizumab for its use in severe eosinophilic asthma and dupilumab for its use in atopic dermatitis. Dupilumab is currently under FDA review for use as add-on maintenance treatment in moderate-to-severe asthma, with an approval decision expected in October of 2018.
