Project history

Date Update
21 July 2009

The Appraisal Committee discussed sorafenib for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma on 11 June 2009.

NICE has now been informed that the marketing authorisation holder for sorafenib (Bayer Healthcare) has agreed a patient access scheme with the Department of Health.  In order to allow for consideration of the impact of the patient access scheme on clinical and cost effectiveness, the Appraisal Committee will discuss this topic again at its meeting on 12 August 2009.
