Final Documents ICER’s Chief Medical Officer, David Rind, MD stated: “MLD is a devastating disease for children and their […]

Interventions of Interest: Despite uncertainty regarding longer-term outcomes, lovo-cel and exa-cel both estimated to produce substantial gains in length and quality of life; independent appraisal committee voted that currently available evidence is adequate to demonstrate a net health benefit over standard of care. Current evidence suggests that lovo-cel and exa-cel would achieve common thresholds for […]

Interventions of Interest: Fair pricing benchmarks suggest upper bounds for price of Roctavian at approximately $1.9 M and for Hemgenix at approximately $2.9 M. Payers should work with manufacturers to develop and implement outcomes-based agreements to address the uncertainty and the high cost of gene therapies for hemophilia. Finally, clinical experts affirm that it would […]

Interventions of Interest: The independent appraisal committee voted that currently available evidence is not adequate to demonstrate a net health benefit for lecanemab when compared to supportive care.
