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 March 0 In its session on 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 December 0 (Federal Gazette, 0, page 786), as follows: I. Appendix XII shall be amended in alphabetical order to include the active ingredient boceprevir: Therapeutic indication: Victrelis is indicated for the of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype infection, in combination with alfa and ribavirin, in adult patients with compensated liver disease who are previously untreated or who have failed previous..
