IQWiG says no added benefit for Roche’s Erivedge has been proven
In an early benefit assessment pursuant to the Act on the Reform of the Market for Medicinal Products (AMNOG), the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) examined whether Swiss drug major Roche’s (ROG: SIX) new cancer drug Erivedge (vismodegib) offers an added benefit over the current standard therapy. However, no added benefit can be derived from the data presented in the company's dossier, the IQWiG concluded.
Erivedge is approved in the European Union for the treatment of patients with two forms of basal cell carcinoma (BCC): symptomatic metastatic BCC and locally advanced BCC inappropriate for surgery or radiotherapy (The Pharma Letter July 15).
Currently hardly any chances of cure in advanced basal cell carcinoma
