NICE guidance updates
COVID-19 rapid guideline: children and young people who are immunocompromised (updated 21.5.20) https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng174/chapter/Update-information
Our new draft guidance recommends atezolizumab for treating people with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Around 2,000 people in England have triple negative breast cancer, of which around 600 people would be eligible for treatment with atezolizumab with chemotherapy drug nab-paclitaxel.
Draft NICE guidance recommends trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla, Roche) as an option for some people with HER2-positive early breast cancer. Around 7,000 people diagnosed with breast cancer each year in England are HER2-positive
We’ve recommended atezolizumab (Tecentriq, Roche) with carboplatin and etoposide as an option for untreated extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Around 2,400 people in England have ES-SCLC, of whom around 1,200 people will be eligible for treatment with atezolizumab with carboplatin and etoposide.
