Airways and respiratory system

Indication:

Add-on maintenance treatment of adult patients with uncontrolled COPD characterized by raised blood eosinophils on a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid, a long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA), and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), or on a combination of a LABA and a LAMA if an inhaled corticosteroid is not appropriate

Result of dossier assessment:

After addendum now:

  • Patients who are not eligible for treatment with roflumilast: hint of minor added benefit
  • Patients who are eligible for treatment with roflumilast: added benefit not proven
Note:

If the need for additional work on a project commissioned by the G-BA arises during consultations, then IQWiG presents a report in the form of an "addendum". The G-BA subsequently decides on the extent of the added benefit, thus completing the early benefit assessment.
