Resolution by the Federal Joint Committee on an amendment to the Pharmaceutical Directive (AM-RL): Appendix XII Resolutions on the benefit assessment of pharmaceuticals with new active ingredients, in accordance with the German Social Code, Book Five (SGB V), section 5a from 9 March 0 In its session on 9 March 0, the Federal Joint Committee resolved to amend the Pharmaceutical Directive (AM-RL), version published 8 December 008/ January 009 (Federal Gazette, number 49a of March 009), last amended on 5 March 0 (Federal Gazette, AT 6 April 0 B6), as follows: I. Appendix XII shall be amended in alphabetical order to include the active ingredient telaprevir: Therapeutic indication: Incivo, in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, is indicated for the of genotype chronic hepatitis C in adult patients with compensated liver disease (including ): who are -naïve; who have previously been treated with interferon alfa (pegylated or non-pegylated) alone or in combination with ribavirin, including relapsers, partial responders and null responders.. Additional benefit of the pharmaceutical over appropriate comparator a) In combination with peginterferon as compared to peginterferon in -naïve patients with genotype chronic hepatitis C virus (chcv) infection Appropriate comparator: peginterferon (PegIFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) Extent and probability of additional benefit over peginterferon plus ribavirin: indication of an additional benefit of telaprevir, extent not quantifiable. Study results for -naïve patients according to endpoints : Effect estimates [95% CI] + PegIFN/RBV vs. PegIFN/RBV Incident rate + PegIFN/RBV vs. PegIFN/RBV, absolute risk reduction ARR Sustained virological RR.7 75% vs. 44% ARR = % response (SVR) p-value EQ-5D (EuroQol) MD 4 0.0 [0.00; 0.06] 0.9 vs. 0.87 4 p = 0.059 Overall mortality n/a < % vs. % n/a Anaemia RR.65 [.;.06] 4% vs. 5% ARR -6% p < 0.00 Rash RR.8 [.;.46] 6% vs. % ARR -% p < 0.00 Psychiatric incidents RR.06 [0.94;.0] 5% vs. 5% p = 0.4 Infection RR 0.79 [0.66; 0.94] % vs. 9% ARR 8% p = 0.00 AE n/a 99% vs. 98% n/a SAE RR.4 [0.86;.08] 0% vs. 7% p = 0.95 Termination due to AE RR.8 [0.85;.] 0% vs. 7% p = 0.4 Data from the benefit assessment conducted by the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) for -naïve patients without Figures shown for significant differences only, minus sign: increased risk of unfavourable outcome Data from the ADVANCE study 4 Mean difference; higher value corresponds to higher quality of life assessment
b) In combination with peginterferon as compared to peginterferon in previously treated patients with genotype chcv infection Appropriate comparator: peginterferon plus ribavirin Extent and probability of additional benefit over peginterferon plus ribavirin: indication of an additional benefit of telaprevir, extent not quantifiable.
