NICE guidance on necitumumab, ramucirumab and nintedanib
On Sept 28, 2016, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance not recommending necitumumab in combination with
gemcitabine and cisplatin for untreated advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing, squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NICE technology appraisal guidance TA412.
On Aug 24, 2016, the NICE published guidance not recommending ramucirumab in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in adults whose disease has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.
NICE Technology appraisal guidanceTA403
On July 22, 2015, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance recommending nintedanib for previously treated locally
advanced, metastatic, or locally recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer, providing the company (Boehringer Ingelheim, Bracknell, UK) offers nintedanib with the
discount agreed in the patient access scheme.
NICE Technology appraisal guidanceTA347
Necitumumab in metastatic squamous cell Lung Cancer:
Establishing a value-based cost
Evaluation of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) for the use of necitumumab across a range of values for its cost. Model robustness was assessed by probabilistic sensitivity analyses, based on 10 000 Monte Carlo simulations, sampling values from the distributions of all model parameters.
The probabilistic sensitivity analyses established that when necitumumab cost less than $563 and less than $1309 per cycle, there was 90% confidence that the ICER for adding necitumumab would be less than $100 000 per QALY and less than $200 000 per QALY, respectively.
These findings provide a value-based range for the cost of necitumumab from
$563 to $1309 per cycle.
This study provides a framework for establishing value-based pricing for new oncology drugs entering the US marketplace.

PFS and OS in EGFR mutated pts treated with EGFR TKIs inhibitors
Lin JJ, JTO 2016
Resistance to EGFR TKI
Regardless of extent of initial response, resistance to TKI develops invariably due to
T790 mutation (~ 50% to 60%) HER 2 mutation (8%-12%)
MET amplification (~ 5% to 20%) Conversion to SCLC (< 5%)
EGFR mutated tumors might progress rapidly upon withdrawal of TKI
Role of continuation of TKI beyond progression is under evaluation
Afatinib, AZ9291, CO1686, HM-61713 targets T790 mutation
EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Potential characteristics of immunogenic and nonimmunogenic tumors
Evaluation of tumor tissues may reveal an immunogenic tumor microenvironment consisting of many immunologic markers, including CD8 T cells, CD4 T cells, PD-L1, granzyme B, and CD45 RO, which may be effectively treated with immune checkpoint therapy to elicit clinical benefit.
Tumor tissues that lack expression of many immunologic markers may indicate a
nonimmunogenic tumor microenvironment, which may require combination therapies consisting of an agent to create an
immunogenic tumor microenvironment plus an immune checkpoint agent to further
enhance the immune response for clinical benefit
