A Preliminary Policy Proposal

 ‘Salvage of histiocytic neoplasms causing life-threatening disease with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors’ has been submitted to NHS England on 2nd November. This advises the NHS to develop a commissioning policy for access to Vemurafenib, Dabrafenib, Cobimetinib and Trametinib.The next step is a review by the Specialised Commissioning Panel to determine whether the policy will be adopted onto the work flow.  From this point it will take at least 12 months for NHSE to develop a commissioning policy after wide consultation with all of the relevant stake holders, including a number of patients, families and Histio UK.

No-one should die of Histiocytosis.

Despite the misery it causes, histiocytosis is too rare a disease to have generated substantial research in medical circles. Unfortunately, for every child or adult fighting for his or her life, the pain and suffering are just as severe for children and adults afflicted with other better known disorders receiving funding. For the children and adults battling these illnesses, there is now reason to hope. To ensure the research and information support work continues, we ask for your help, to complete the funding puzzle.
