New Zealand’s Pharmaceutical Management Agency, PHARMAC, is seeking feedback on a proposal to fund the antiplatelet agent ticagrelor (Brilinta) through a provisional agreement with its maker, Anglo-Swedish drug major AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN). In summary, this proposal would result in ticagrelor being fully funded from June 1, 2013, for patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndromes who meet the Special Authority criteria.
PHARMAC welcomes feedback on this proposal by April 12. All feedback received before the closing date will be considered by PHARMAC’s board (or chief executive acting under delegated authority) prior to making a decision on this proposal.
