The U.K.’s health-cost regulator asked Sanofi for more information on its multiple-sclerosis drug Lemtrada, less than a month after U.S. regulatory advisers said the drug’s trials weren’t adequate to assess its efficacy.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is seeking clarifications on the evidence Paris-based Sanofi’s Genzyme unit submitted on the drug, NICE said in draft guidance today. Sanofi has until Jan. 9 to submit the extra information, the institute said. NICE, which advises the U.K.’s National Health Service on which treatments provide value for money, didn’t specify what information it requested.
