CAR-T-cell therapies

The CAR T cell therapies tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah®) and axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta®) are provisionally listed in Appendix 1 of the Health Insurance Benefits Ordinance, and are reimbursed by Swiss mandatory health insurance for the treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL; Kymriah® and Yescarta®), B cell acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL;  Kymriah®) and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBCL; Yescarta®). To inform future reimbursement decision an HTA will be conducted with the aim of evaluating the safety, efficacy/effectiveness, costs, cost-effectiveness and budget impact of tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel separately in these indications. In addition, ethical, legal, social and organisational issues associated with these therapies will be investigated.
