Interventions of Interest Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a rare, serious, often fatal complication of solid organ transplant (SOT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCST), with only several hundred cases per year reported in the US. The majority of cases of PTLD are associated with the acquisition or reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) post-transplant […]
Interventions of Interest Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a type of heart muscle disease that occurs when amyloid fibrils – clumps of misfolded proteins – are deposited into heart tissue and cause it to stiffen. Eventually, the heart cannot fill properly, leading to shortness of breath, heart failure, and death. For questions please contact Madeline […]
Interventions of Interest Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are an uncommon group of disorders characterized by abnormal blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, resulting in the reduction of peripheral blood cells, an elevated risk of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and reduced survival.Anemia (low red blood cell counts), thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts), and leukopenia (low white blood cell […]
Interventions of Interest An independent appraisal committee voted that current evidence is adequate to demonstrate superior net health benefits for ensifentrine added to maintenance therapy compared to maintenance therapy alone. ICER calculated a health-benefit price benchmark (HBPB) for ensifentrine between $7,500 to $12,700 per year, and the therapy is priced at $35,400 per year Final […]
Interventions of Interest Independent appraisal committee voted that current evidence is not adequate to demonstrate superior net health benefits for MDMA-AP compared to short-term trauma-focused psychotherapies.

Interventions of Interest The independent appraisal committee voted that the current evidence is not adequate to demonstrate a net health benefit for iptacopan over a C5 inhibitor, although use in treatment-experienced patients with clinically significant extravascular hemolysis received more favorable votes. The committee also found that at current pricing, iptacopan represents “low” long-term value for […]
Interventions of Interest: The independent appraisal committee voted that current evidence is not adequate to demonstrate superior net health benefits for KarXT compared to generically available aripiprazole. If long-term data confirm KarXT’s benefits and lack of weight gain, it would achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $16,000 to $20,000 per year. Final Documents […]
Interventions of Interest: Independent appraisal committee voted that sotatercept demonstrated a net health benefit when compared to background therapy; sotatercept would achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $17,900 to $35,400 per year. Final Documents ICER’s Chief Medical Officer, David Rind, MD: “Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive disease that can lead to debilitating […]
Interventions of Interest: Independent appraisal committee voted that across all patient subpopulations, arsa-cel demonstrated a net health benefit when compared to usual care. Arsa-cel would achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $2.3M and $3.9M. 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 […]
