From the public summary
PBAC outcome
6.1 The PBAC recommended reducing the maximum quantity packs of triglycerides, long chain with glucose polymer 6 x 1 L cartons (ProZero®) for the treatment of proven inborn errors of protein metabolism from 4 (24 L) to 3 (18 L).PSD · Nov 2024
6.2 The PBAC noted previous advice from the NPWP that there would be an unmet clinical need for certain patients (e.g., 6–12-month-old infants, teenagers and young adults) if ProZero was to delist. The PBAC also noted that only ProZero 250 mL was delisted from the PBS on 1 September 2024.PSD · Nov 2024
Economic analysis
4.6 The submission requested no changes to the pricing arrangement for the current listing of ProZero 1 L (approved ex-manufacturer price (AEMP) of $55.58).PSD · Nov 2024
4.7 The submission indicated that the sponsor intends to submit a separate application requesting . This is not part of the current submission.PSD · Nov 2024
