Roche pins Tarceva hope on Cancer Drugs Fund after NICE rejects appeal

This article was originally published in Scrip

Executive Summary

Roche says it hopes that its anticancer drug Tarceva (erlotinib) will be available in England through the Cancer Drugs Fund as a monotherapy for maintenance treatment for some non-small cell lung cancer patients. Following a failed appeal from the company, NICE, the health technology appraisal body for England and Wales, issued final and binding guidance rejecting the drug on 29 June because of doubts over the overall survival gain that the drug offers.
