The Department of Health has asked the Institute to conduct an appraisal of bendamustine in combination with rituximab for the first-line treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.
The Institute has now been informed by the company that it will no longer be pursuing a licensing application for bendamustine in this indication.
Therefore, NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal on its current work programme.
As this topic has been referred to the Institute we will continue to monitor any developments.
