UK Drug Tariff process

  • Mail received May 2nd 2017 from DT where the application was rejected because they consider the evidence provided to be insufficient to document cost effectiveness
  • The short term effect is that the sales growth we had planned for in the UK market will be delayed. There are no effect on other markets
  • Going forward we will focus on two parallel processes:
  • Consider an appeal according to NHS guidelines
  • Prepare for a new submission when we have concluded on further studies that are either ongoing or about start. Potential timing Q1 2018
