- Status:
- Topic prioritisation
- Technology type:
- Medicine
- Decision:
- Not selected
- Reason for decision:
- Not eligible for Health Technology Evaluation guidance
- Rationale:
- The NICE-Wide Prioritisation Board met on 20 November 2025 and concluded that an evaluation would not be appropriate for this product. The 2024 voluntary scheme for branded medicines, pricing, access and growth states that NICE will continue to evaluate all new active substances and significant indications, except where there is a clear rationale not to do so. Decision makers concluded that the clear rationale to not evaluate this product is due to existing clinical guideline CG145 already recommending botulinum neurotoxin as a treatment option for under 19s with spasticity of the upper or lower limb. Therefore, there would be no additional value in conducting a separate evaluation. Please see eligibility criteria within the prioritisation manual for further information.
