Basel, August 30, 2017 - Novartis announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Kymriah(TM)(tisagenlecleucel) suspension for intravenous infusion, formerly CTL019, the first chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy
First-in-class therapy showed an 83% (52/63) overall remission rate in this patient population with limited treatment options and historically poor outcomes [1],[2].
Nice will pay only for the 83% ... at £266,000 per patient
in other words the NHS is including in the Failure rate
effectively that is your 100% efficacy price ..
