pERC recommends Yervoy (ipilimumab) for first-line use by adults with metastatic melanoma

Canada (Oncology)

The pCODR Expert Review Committee (pERC) has recommended the funding of ipilimumab (Yervoy) for the treatment of adults with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) melanoma, conditional on cost-effectiveness being improved to an acceptable level.

This is an initial recommendation; a final recommendation will be issued in due course.
