What the PBS pays

$50M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 2,678 services.

This is spend on the medicines considered for this condition, not spend on the disease. A medicine used for several conditions is counted in full under each, so figures across conditions add to more than national PBS expenditure.

lanadelumab $48.1M
icatibant $2.3M

Appraised elsewhere

NICE, in England and Wales, has appraised 3 technologies for this condition, recommending 3 . A different committee, a different population and a different price: this is what has been looked at there, not a verdict on what happened here.

Registered, not subsidised

Medicines on the ARTG for this condition with no PBAC record at all. Registration and subsidy are separate decisions: a medicine can be legally available in Australia and never have been put to the committee.

The ARTG export holds current registrations only, so the year is the earliest entry still on the register rather than a first-registration date. The condition here comes from the registered label, which is usually broader than the population a sponsor asks to have subsidised.

Conditions are classified by a language model from the indication text of each submission, so an individual label here can be wrong. Consumer input is read from the document's own consumer comments section: 4 of 4 decisions since 2014 carried some. Silence means no comment reached the committee through that facility, not that nobody was affected. More on how this was built.
