Timeline

Key events during the development of the guidance:

Date Update
25 October 2024 NICE has agreed to pause publication of the guidance document to allow the company and NHS England to enter into a commercial discussion.
10 October 2024 Committee meeting: 3
30 August 2024 A 3rd committee meeting for this appraisal will be held on 10 October 2024 to consider the outstanding issue of complications associated with sickle cell disease, and the severity modifier, which affects the basis for decision-making.
04 July 2024 Following the second appraisal committee meeting on 8 May 2024, this appraisal has been paused because NICE needs additional time to reconsider, and analyse new information provided by the company (Vertex) about the complications associated with sickle cell disease which affects the basis for decision-making. It is expected that a further committee meeting will be held to consider the additional information. We will update stakeholders and the NICE website when a committee meeting date is confirmed.
