Timeline

Key events during the development of the guidance:

Date Update
15 November 2022 Discontinued. Following on from information provided to NICE by the company in May 2018 the appraisal of Eteplirsen for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy [ID1003] was suspended from NICE’s work programme. As no further information has been received from the company the topic has been discontinued.
04 July 2018 Suspended. Suspended
04 July 2018 As you will be aware, the Department for Health and Social Care has asked NICE to carry out an evaluation of eteplirsen for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, the company have advised that during June 2018 the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a negative opinion, recommending the refusal of the marketing authorisation for eteplirsen for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The company have already requested a data re-examination by the CHMP, the outcome of this will be known during the Autumn. Therefore, as is usual practice with a negative CHMP opinion, NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal on its work programme but will continue to monitor the regulatory situation for eteplirsen and will update interested parties if the situation changes.
11 May 2018 Please note that following advice received from the company around a delay to regulatory timings. The deadline for submissions is expected to be delayed. Consequently the forthcoming committee meeting discussion scheduled for 23 August 2018 will also be delayed. The revised committee meeting discussion date is to be confirmed.
