	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2023 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is currently evaluating ciltacabtagene autoleucel, a type of CAR-T therapy, within its marketing authorisation for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. NICE has previously evaluated other CAR-T therapies such as axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta®) and tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah®) through its technology appraisal programme.</p><p>NICE’s technology appraisal process requires the manufacturer or sponsor of the technology under evaluation to produce an evidence submission that is developed in line with NICE’s preferred methods for economic evaluation (the “reference case”) as set out in its published manual for health technology evaluation. The evidence submission is then considered by NICE’s appraisal committee alongside a critique from an independent academic group and evidence from other stakeholders such as patients, clinicians and NHS England. During the ongoing appraisal of axicabtagene ciloleucel for treating relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, NHS England made the committee aware of a single tariff for the delivery of CAR T-cell therapies. NICE does not hold any information on who NHS England consulted on the calculation of the tariff.</p><p>NICE’s health technology evaluation manual states that the reference case “should include the full additional costs associated with introducing a technology”. The appraisal committee will consider in developing its recommendations whether the costs that are captured in the evidence submission appropriately reflect the costs to the National Health Service.</p><p>The committee papers for previous and ongoing appraisals of CAR-T therapies are available on the NICE website.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 18/01/2023 16:34:12 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2023 answer text <p>As it says in the conclusion of the paper “Larger and longer trials, including comparison with existing treatments, are required to determine the efficacy and safety of psilocybin for this disorder.” When new treatments are sufficiently developed, there are existing mechanisms in the United Kingdom to licence those treatments and determine their cost effectiveness and use. These are the correct routes to follow, once the evidence is sufficiently developed.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 26/01/2023 17:32:44 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
