Forfait Innovation decision postponed
Pixium announced on 24 May 2017 that the French Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) has requested additional clinical data before agreeing to provide exceptional reimbursement under the Forfait Innovation (FI) programme for Pixium’s Iris II implant system. The HAS agreed that the Iris II meets the critical FI eligibility criteria of providing a sufficiently novel and innovative treatment for a significantly unmet medical need (patients severely visually impacted by retinitis pigmentosa). Pixium now plans to provide interim six-month data from its ongoing 10-patient European Iris-II study, which should be available in Q317, to fulfil this requirement. Hence we believe a decision from HAS on potential Iris-II reimbursement under FI is not likely before late Q317 or early Q417.
