Overview

NICE has withdrawn this guidance. Novartis will stop marketing crizanlizumab (Adakveo) because its marketing authorisation has been withdrawn by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Novartis has issued a direct letter to healthcare professionals specialising in haematology. No new people will start taking crizanlizumab in the UK. Healthcare professionals should discuss alternative treatment options with people currently having crizanlizumab.
