Resource impact summary report

Resource impact summary report

This summary report is based on the NICE assumptions used in the resource impact template. Users can amend the 'Population and treatments' and 'Unit costs' worksheets in the template to reflect local data and assumptions.

Financial and capacity resource impact

The key drivers of resource impact are:

  • the average treatment duration of epcoritamab and comparators

  • that epcoritamab is administered subcutaneously but most comparators are administered intravenously.

The company has a commercial arrangement. This makes epcoritamab available to the NHS at a discount.

The payment mechanism for epcoritamab is determined by the responsible commissioner and depends on whether it is classified as high cost.

Eligible population for epcoritamab

Table 1 shows the population eligible for epcoritamab and the number of people who are expected to have epcoritamab in each of the next 3 years, excluding forecast population growth.
