Generic name | Category (rare/control) | Appraisal ID | Population in final scope | Recommended population in FAD | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sapropterin | Rare | TA729 | People with PKU whose HPA has been shown to be responsive to sapropterin dihydrochloride therapy | Option for treating hyperphenylalaninaemia that responds to sapropterin (response as defined in the summary of product characteristics) in people with PKU, only if they are under 18 and a dose of 10 mg/kg is used, only using a higher dose if target blood phenylalanine levels cannot be achieved at 10 mg/kg, or aged 18 to 21 inclusive, continuing the dose they were having before turning 18 or at a maximum dose of 10 mg/kg, or are pregnant (from a positive pregnancy test until birth). Sapropterin is recommended only if the company provides it according to the commercial arrangement | [14] |
Secukinumab | Control | TA719 | People with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with objective signs of inflammation, whose disease has responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to, NSAIDs | Option for treating active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with objective signs of inflammation (shown by elevated C-reactive protein or MRI) that is not controlled well enough with NSAIDs in adults. It is recommended only if TNF-alpha inhibitors are not suitable or do not control the condition well enough and the company provides secukinumab according to the commercial arrangement | [15] |
Empagliflozin | Control | TA773 | Adults for the treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction | Option for treating symptomatic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in adults, only if it is used as an add-on to optimised standard care with an ACE inhibitor or ARB, with a beta blocker and, if tolerated, an MRA, or sacubitril valsartan with a beta blocker and, if tolerated, an MRA | [19] |
Incisiran | Control | TA733 |
Primary prevention population - Adults who are primary prevention with elevated risk with serum LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L despite maximally tolerated statins or adults with a history of HeFH without ASCVD and serum LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L despite maximally tolerated statins. Secondary prevention population - Adults with ASCVD (including HeFH) and serum LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L despite maximally tolerated statins |
Option for treating primary hypercholesterolaemia (heterozygous familial and non-familial) or mixed dyslipidaemia as an adjunct to diet in adults. It is recommended only if there is a history of certain cardiovascular events and LDL-C concentrations are persistently 2.6 mmol/l or more, despite maximum tolerated lipid-lowering therapy, that is maximum tolerated statins with or without other lipid-lowering therapies other lipid-lowering therapies when statins are not tolerated or are contraindicated, and the company provides inclisiran according to the commercial arrangement | [21] |
Dapagliflozin | Control | TA775 | Adults with CKD who are receiving individually optimised standard care | Option for treating CKD in adults. It is recommended only if it is an add-on to optimised standard care including the highest tolerated licensed dose of ACE inhibitors or ARBs, unless these are contraindicated, and people have an eGFR of 25 ml/min/1.73 m2 to 75 ml/min/1.73 m2 at the start of treatment and have type 2 diabetes or have a uACR of 22.6 mg/mmol or more | [23] |
ACE: Angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARB: Angiotensin-receptor blocker; ASCVD: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; CKD: Chronic kidney disease; eGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate; HeFH: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia; HPA: Hyperphenylalaninaemia; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MRA: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; NSAIDs: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; PKU: Phenylketonuria; TNF: Tumour necrosis factor; uACR: Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
