<p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has been asked to
develop recommendations for the National Health Service on the use of Kuvan for the
treatment of phenylketonuria through its technology appraisal programme. NHS commissioners
are legally required to fund medicines recommended in NICE technology appraisal guidance.</p><p>NICE’s
appraisal had been suspended as the manufacturer of Kuvan, BioMarin, had withdrawn
from the process. However, BioMarin has now agreed to re-engage in the appraisal and
NICE will now aim to publish guidance on Kuvan as soon as possible. Further information
on the appraisal is available on NICE’s website at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid-ta10378"
