everolimus (Certican®) is not recommended for use within NHS Scotland.
Indication under review:
• Prophylaxis of organ rejection in adult patients at low to moderate immunological risk receiving a cardiac transplant
• Prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients receiving a hepatic transplant
The holder of the marketing authorisation has not made a submission to SMC regarding this product in this indication. As a result we cannot recommend its use within NHSScotland.
NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) is currently undertaking a multiple technology appraisal (MTA) that includes the use of everolimus for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in adult patients at low to moderate immunological risk receiving an allogeneic renal transplant and therefore SMC has not issued advice for that indication.
