New product evaluations - a resource for medicines management

What this is: A list of new product evaluations that are freely available to NHS staff via the internet. The list is updated monthly.

How to find the evaluation you want:  Look at the table below.  Products are listed in alphabetical order, by generic drug or device name.  If a product contains two or more drugs it will be listed by brand name.  If an evaluation has been produced in the last 31 months, it will say who did it and when.  If an evaluation is currently ‘In production’ it will say who is doing it and when it is due.  Evaluations that are highlighted in red are newly-produced evaluations that have been added to the list this month.

To read the full-text evaluation: In most cases there is a direct link to the evaluation; these are available by clicking the blue hyperlink in the ‘reviewer / publication date’ column of the table.

NICE: Technology appraisals are produced following a series of consultations. Information is published at specific stages of the appraisal process. If the final appraisal is not yet available, there will be a link to available interim documents. Please note that the publication date listed for these items is the anticipated publication date for the final appraisal.

Who produces the evaluations? Groups included in this list that produce evaluations are:  AWMSG – All Wales Medicines Strategy Group  NICE – National Institute for Health and Care  LCNDG – London Cancer New Drugs Group Excellence  LNDG – London New Drugs Group  NICE-ES – NICE Evidence Summary  LMEN - London Medicines Evaluation Network  NHSC – NIHR Horizon Scanning Research &  MTRAC – Midland Therapeutic Review & Advisory Intelligence Centre Committee  RDTC – Regional Drug & Therapeutics Centre  NETAG / NTAG – North East / Northern Treatment  SMC – Scottish Medicines Consortium Advisory Group  UKMi – United Kingdom Medicines Information

Status – what does this mean? Not launched – the product is not commercially available in the UK. Launched – the product has been launched in the UK and is licensed for the stated indication. New indication – the product has been launched in the UK and is licensed for the stated indication, but the indication stated is not the first indication for which the drug was initially licensed. Unlicensed indication – the product has been launched in the UK but is not licensed for the stated indication.

Specified high cost drugs (tariff excluded) This column indicates which drugs appear on the 2015/16 list of high cost drugs exclusions or on the chemotherapy regimens list and consequently are ‘Tariff excluded’. The list is updated annually, with no in-year updates. The information in the table should be used as a guide only; drugs launched after publication of the lists may be Tariff excluded but do not appear in the list and would have to be negotiated locally. There may be drugs in this document which have yet to be launched and consequently may not appear on either list. This document does not give any indication as to potential Tariff position of new drugs.
