Suggested remit: To appraise the clinical and cost effectiveness of abrocitinib within its marketing authorisation for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in people aged 12 and over.
We are continuing to face significant capacity challenges and will be delaying the development of abrocitinib for treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in people aged 12 and over [ID3768]. This topic will now be considered as part of a multiple technology appraisal. We anticipate that it will be considered by the technology appraisal committee in early 2022.
