ICER draft evidence report on biologic treatments for asthma

26 September 2018

The USA’s Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) has released a Draft Evidence Report assessing the clinical effectiveness and value of biologic treatments for asthma associated with Type 2 inflammation and/or allergic asthma. The draft report will be open to public comment until October 22, 2018.

The ICER’s report assesses the effectiveness and value of dupilumab (Dupixent, from Sanofi [Euronext: SAN] and Regeneron [Nasdaq: REGN]), omalizumab (Xolair, from Genentech and Novartis [NOVN: VX]), mepolizumab (Nucala, from GlaxoSmithKline [LSE: GSK]), reslizumab (Cinqair, from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries [NYSE: TEVA]), and benralizumab (Fasenra, from AstraZeneca [LSE: AZN]).

The ICER previously reviewed mepolizumab for its use in severe eosinophilic asthma and dupilumab for its use in atopic dermatitis. Dupilumab is currently under Food and Drug Administration review for use as add-on maintenance treatment in moderate-to-severe asthma, with an approval decision expected in October of 2018.
