Clinical Benefit

Substantial

The actual benefit of these products is substantial.


Clinical Added Value

no clinical added value

Taking into account the results of a subgroup analysis which showed an absolute gain of 2 months in progression-free survival with the combination of YONDELIS + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin versus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin alone, without an improvement in overall survival and at the cost of an increase in haematological and hepatic toxicity, the Committee considers that this combination does not provide an improvement in actual benefit (level V) within the therapeutic strategy.
YONDELIS + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin is a useful additional therapeutic means for the management of recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.
