Timeline
Key events during the development of the guidance:
| Date | Update |
|---|---|
| 31 October 2022 | Discontinued. Following on from information provided to NICE by the company in June 2019, the appraisal of Apalutamide for treating non-metastatic, hormone-relapsed prostate cancer [ID1174] was suspended from NICE’s work programme. As no further information has been received from the company the topic has been discontinued. |
| 07 May 2020 | The appraisals of apalutamide for treating metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer [ID1534] and apalutamide for treating non-metastatic hormone-relapsed prostate cancer [ID1174] have been combined into a single appraisal with the title apalutamide for treating prostate cancer [ID1534]. Please refer to https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid-ta10423 for further information on this combined appraisal. |
| 25 June 2019 | The company that markets apalutamide has requested a meeting with OMA to determine the feasibility of conducting a molecule rather than indication specific appraisal. NICE will suspend the appraisal until the OMA engagement is complete and the most appropriate route and format to progress with the evidence submission is agreed. |
| 15 February 2019 | Following notification from the company, this appraisal has been delayed. The new timelines will be confirmed subsequently. As this appraisal has been referred, NICE will continue to monitor any development and will update interested parties as and when the situation changes. |
| 15 February 2019 | Suspended. Suspended |
| 29 November 2018 | Invitation to participate |
