Report type:
Dossier assessment
Status:
Commission completed

Drug Assessment

Airways and respiratory system
Adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have an R117H mutation in the CFTR gene
The advantages in the outcome categories of morbidity and health-related quality of life (in women and in positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection status) outweigh the disadvantage in one side effect (oropharyngeal pain); overall hint of non-quantifiable added benefit
After completion of the assessment by IQWiG the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) conducts a commenting procedure. This may provide supplementary information and as a result lead to a modified benefit assessment. Further information and the decision on the early benefit assessment can be found on the relevant page of the G-BA website.
