5 concerns over multiple cancer PBS listings
Should the rules for cancer patients on checkpoint inhibitors be different from anyone else?
Patient and drug company pressure to allow multiple cancer listings to be made at once for checkpoint inhibitors seems unlikely to be realised, with the release of a new PBAC report.
Supporters of the move say it will make the process of listing a drug on the PBS more efficient, giving patients, particularly those with rare cancers, access to potentially effective treatments.
