| NCPE assessment outcome | Following NCPE assessment of the company submission, the NCPE recommends that ribociclib (in combination with an aromatase inhibitor) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with HR+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic BC as initial endocrine-based therapy, not be considered for reimbursement unless cost effectiveness can be improved relative to existing treatments. |
This recommendation should be considered while also having regard to the criteria specified in the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013.
The HSE has approved reimbursement following confidential price negotiations February 2019.
