From the public summary
PBAC outcome
7.1 The PBAC recommended the Restricted Benefit listing of amino acid formula with fat, carbohydrate without phenylalanine and tyrosine, TYR Easy Tablet for the dietary management of tyrosinaemia on a cost-minimisation basis to the cheapest currently listed amino acid formula for the treatment of tyrosinaemia at an equivalent price per protein equivalent.PSD · Nov 2019
7.2 The PBAC noted the NPWP supported the proposed listing as a treatment option for the dietary management of tyrosinaemia. The PBAC noted the NPWP advice that TYR Easy does not contain any vitamins, minerals or trace elements and therefore patients would have to meet their dietary needs through other sources, which may include use of PBS-subsidised vitamin, mineral and trace element supplements included Phlexy- vits and Paediatric Seravit.PSD · Nov 2019
Cost-effectiveness
Cost-minimisation analysis; no ICER calculated by design.
On balance, the PBAC considered the requested price was reasonable and that TYR Easy was a suitable alternative amino acid formula for some patients. PBAC · 2019
Cost-effectiveness accepted
