Learnings from the Assessments of Entrectinib and Larotrectinib: Health Technology Assessment Challenges Associated with Tumour-Agnostic Therapies

Brogaard, N., Abdul-Ghani, R., Bayle, A.,  Henderson, N.,  Bréant, A, and Steuten, L.

Consulting Report
January 2022

A paradigm shift is occurring in cancer care with the introduction of tumour-agnostic therapies, for which the indication is defined by the molecular signature of the tumour rather than by its location. Several agents have already gained regulatory approval, including pembrolizumab for solid tumours with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or high tumour mutational burden (TMB-H), and larotrectinib and entrectinib for neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusion-positive solid tumours, and many other emerging molecules are set to enter the market over the next decade.

These opportunity costs demonstrate the need to consider health system capacity value, one of the so-called "broader value elements" that is often not fully captured in traditional value assessments.

A Case Study Analysis: Challenges in the NICE Evaluation of Multi-Indication Medicines for Rare and Ultra-Rare Diseases

Henderson, N., Firth, I., Errea, M., Skedgel, C. and Jofre-Bonet, M.

Consulting Report
September 2021

Medicines for rare and ultra-rare conditions face distinct economic and ethical challenges compared to medicines for more common conditions. These challenges are implicitly acknowledged by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) by providing an auxiliary appraisal route for highly specialized technologies. However, concerns have been raised regarding the appraisals of medicines that don’t meet the strict criteria and are, therefore, evaluated via the standard appraisal route (STA).
