Drug Guidance for Subsidy
[NR] The Ministry of Health’s Drug Advisory Committee has not recommended epcoritamab for inclusion on the MOH List of Subsidised Drugs for treating relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The decision for epcoritamab was based on the uncertainties surrounding its magnitude of clinical benefit, unfavourable cost-effectiveness compared with chemotherapy, and the unacceptable price-volume agreement proposed by the company.
Clinical indication, subsidy class and MediShield Life claim limit for epcoritamab are provided in the Annex.
