The Health Service Executive has determined that the spinal muscle atrophy drug Spinraza is not cost-effective at its current price, The Irish Times reported Friday.
The HSE determined that the treatment could carry a cost of 20 million euros over five years, while it was not able to reach an accord with the manufacturer regarding a viable price.
The regulator noted that Spinraza would carry a cost of 600 000 euros for the first year and 380 000 euros for each successive year.
The HSE stated that it was "obligated to ensure that expenditure of this scale must represent evidence of clinical and cost-effectiveness."
