19 June 2019 Suspended. As you will be aware, the Department for Health and Social Care has asked NICE to carry out a Single Technology Appraisal of L-glutamine for treating sickle cell disease. However, the company have advised that during June 2019 the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) have adopted a negative opinion, recommending the refusal of the marketing authorisation for L-glutamine intended for treating sickle cell disease and the company is requesting an appeal. Therefore, NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal on its work programme. As this appraisal has been referred to NICE we will continue to monitor any development and will update interested parties if the situation changes
