Following on from information provided to NICE by the company in May 2019, the appraisal of Lung cancer (non-small-cell, untreated, high tumour mutational burden) - ipilimumab (with nivolumab) was suspended from NICE’s work programme. As no further information has been received from the company the topic has been discontinued.
31 March 2020 The Department for Health and Social Care has asked NICE to carry out a Single Technology Appraisal of nivolumab with ipilimumab for untreated non-small-cell lung cancer that has a high tumour mutational burden [ID1187] For information, the company have advised that they are no longer pursuing a Marketing Authorisation Application from the European Medicines Agency for this indication at this time. Therefore, NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal from its current work programme. As this appraisal has been referred NICE will continue to monitor any development and will update interested parties if the situation changes.
