Timeline

Key events during the development of the guidance:

Date Update
20 January 2023 Discontinued. Please note that following on from information provided to NICE by the company in March 2021, the appraisal of Non-bisphosphonates for treating osteoporosis [ID901] was suspended from NICE’s work programme. As no further information has been received from the company the topic has been discontinued.
02 March 2021 Suspended. Following the recent cancellation of the committee meeting, NICE does not consider that this appraisal, within the current format, will add value to the existing published guidance. Therefore, NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal from its current work programme..
31 January 2021 The Committee discussion scheduled for 7 January 2021 has been cancelled. During the preparation for the Committee meeting, NICE has considered whether this appraisal will add value to the existing published guidance and how best to advise the NHS on the use of romosozumab.

02 April 2020 Topic update: this appraisal has not been defined as therapeutically critical (please follow the link titled rapid guidelines and evidence summaries within the yellow banner at the top of the page for information on recent changes to the way we work).
