What happened
England’s National Health Service has cleared Enhertu for use in patients with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, reversing an earlier NICE recommendation that had rejected funding on cost-effectiveness grounds. The list price of Enhertu is £1,455 per 100 mg vial. The decision is expected to benefit around 1,000 women annually in England.
