Date Update
09 November 2022 Discontinued. Following on from information provided to NICE by the company in February 2018, the appraisal of Masitinib for treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ID967] was suspended from NICE’s work programme. As no further information has been received from the company the topic has been discontinued.
09 May 2018 Suspended. On 18 April 2018, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a negative opinion, recommending the refusal of the marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Alsitek (masitinib), intended for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The appraisal will therefore remain suspended and we will continue to monitor any developments and will update interested parties if the situation changes.
