Timeline

Key events during the development of the guidance:

Date Update
11 April 2024 - 25 April 2024 Final draft guidance
08 February 2024 Committee meeting
05 October 2023 This topic will continue as a single technology appraisal (STA) rather than a cost comparison appraisal. The company, AbbVie, will be submitting evidence in late September 2023. The first committee meeting will be held on 8 February 2024.
18 January 2023 Invitation to participate
18 January 2023 We have selected atogepant for preventing migraine for a pilot for the proportional approach to technology appraisals sub process: a streamlined approach to Cost Comparison Appraisals. We believe efficiencies can be made to the current cost comparison approach which would result in a faster route to a recommendation for companies, quicker access for patients and a less resource intensive process for all involved. There will be a shorter submission period and external assessment group (EAG) review of the company’s evidence submission. In late April 2023, NICE will advise a subset of the committee (the chair and vice chair) of the appropriateness of cost comparison. This subset will review the evidence online over a set period and be able to make a recommendation outside of a full committee meeting. This will not alter standard governance or appeal processes and maintains the independence of the committee as a decision-making body.
06 September 2022 - 04 October 2022 Consultation on suggested remit, draft scope and provisional stakeholder list of consultees and commentators
