16 April 2025 Suspended. The Department for Health and Social Care has asked NICE to carry out an evaluation of tislelizumab with chemotherapy for untreated advanced oesophageal squamous cell cancer ID5113. We have recently invited stakeholders to respond to a written consultation on the draft scope. The company that market tislelizumab have informed NICE that it will not provide an evidence submission for the evaluation. In light of this information NICE will suspend this evaluation from its current work programme, this means the consultation on the draft scope will now close. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.  If you have any comments or concerns, please contact the project manager for this scoping exercise, Emily Richards via email on emily.richards@nice.org.uk).
