The UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended the use of Ryeqo (relugolix/estradiol/norethisterone) for the treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of uterine fibroids in adult women of reproductive age.
This decision - which comes a year after the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approved the Gedeon Richter (RICHT: HB) therapy - makes Ryego the first oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist funded for these women on the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales.
The new relugolix combination therapy should be available on the NHS in England within three months from now, and within two months in Wales.
