Executive Summary
Novartis AG's Cosentyx (secukinumab) offers some plaque psoriasis patients "considerable additional benefit" over Johnson & Johnson's Stelara (ustekinumab), says the G-BA, the body in charge of Germany's AMNOG benefit assessment and pricing process. The news means that Novartis should find it easier to argue a better price during negotiations with health insurers.
