Scottish Medicines Consortium gives the green light to three products
The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has made decisions on three products.
Xultophy (insulin degludec/liraglutide) from Novo Nordisk (NOV: N), Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) from Janssen, a unit of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), and Xofigo (radium-223 dichloride) from Bayer (BAYN: DE)) have all been given the green light by the SMC.
Xultophy is recommended for use in adults with type 2 diabetes, uncontrolled on basal insulin analogues and for whom a GLP-1 receptor agonist is appropriate as an add-on intensification therapy to basal insulin to obtain glucose control.
