Niraparib availability in Scotland - your comments needed

Hello All

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) are considering making niraparib available as follows: "As monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced epithelial (FIGO Stages III and IV) high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) following completion of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy".

If any of you have experiences with niraparib that you'd be willing to share for inclusion in our submission to SMC, please could you either comment below or send us a private message?

We won't need to include any identifiable details such as your name or where you're being treated. You don't need to be living in Scotland or treated there.

We can then include your comments in our submission to request niraparib be made available and it will make for a much stronger submission. We know from our involvement with SMC in the past that they put a lot of importance on patient experience.

If you have any queries please do get in touch.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Julia

I would be happy to share my experience, if it’s not too late. Should I email it to you?
