Title: NICE won't provide NHS funding for Ocrevus
Post by: agate on April 06, 2018, 06:37:14 am

In the UK, NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) is the organization that decides whether there will be National Health Service funding for a new drug. They've decided that Ocrevus isn't cost-effective enough to warrant use of NHS resources, based on the available evidence.  Ocrevus wasn't compared with all of the other available MS drugs--just with interferon beta-1a.
