Interventions of Interest: The 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. Semaglutide would only achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $7,500 – $9,800 per year after rebates. […]

Final Documents ICER’s Chief Medical Officer, David Rind, MD stated: “The votes of the Midwest CEPAC reflected the remaining uncertainties around the benefits of these therapies and the overwhelming certainty that […]
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. Using best estimates from current data, ICER analyses suggest lecanemab would achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $8,900 – $21,500 per year. Final Documents ICER’s […]
Interventions of Interest: The independent appraisal committee unanimously determined that the evidence is adequate to demonstrate that beti-cel provides a net health benefit compared to standard clinical management. Given the high costs of standard care, cost-effectiveness modeling finds beti-cel meets commonly accepted value thresholds at an anticipated price of $2.1 million — if that price […]
Interventions of Interest: We have deemed this a “special assessment” since this is an early snapshot of emerging agents in the COVID-19 pipeline. December 2022 Update Dominant viral variants, vaccination/prior infection status, and evidence on Paxlovid continue to evolve, but ICER is presenting an update based on recent evidence to help inform new discussions on […]

Plinabulin was under development to prevent chemotherapy-induced neutropenia when it received a complete response letter from the FDA in December 2021 requesting a second […]
Interventions of Interest: Tirzepatide has a novel dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist mechanism of action and is seen as an add-on type 2 diabetes therapy; tirzepatide would achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $5,500 – $5,700 per year. At the January 20 virtual meeting, ICER’s independent appraisal committee will review the evidence, […]
Interventions of Interest: ICER’s Evidence Report Findings: Tezepelumab reduces asthma exacerbations, but there is uncertainty about long-term safety as with all new biologic therapies; tezepelumab would achieve common thresholds for cost-effectiveness if priced between $9,000 – $12,100 per year. Recommendations for fair access include ensuring that all biologic options be available for patients with severe […]
Interventions of Interest: Concerns about long-term safety influenced majority of independent appraisal committee to vote that evidence is not currently adequate to demonstrate a net health benefit of mavacamten added to background therapy. Using estimates from modeling of short-term benefits, mavacamten does show an overall benefit but would have to be priced below $15,000 per […]
Interventions of Interest: The independent appraisal committee found the evidence is adequate to demonstrate that eculizumab and efgartigimod both provide a net health benefit when compared to conventional therapy alone. According to ICER’s health-benefit price benchmark, eculizumab would need to be priced between $13,200 – $19,400 to be considered cost-effective; efgartigimod’s price is not yet […]
