Guidance Recommendations

The Ministry of Health’s Drug Advisory Committee has not recommended amivantamab, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for inclusion on the MOH List of Subsidised Drugs for previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer. The decision was based on the uncertain extent of clinical benefit, unfavourable cost effectiveness compared with platinum-based chemotherapy, and the unacceptable price-volume agreement proposed by the company.

Clinical indication, subsidy class and MediShield Life claim limit for amivantamab are provided in the Annex.
