ICER pilot project to use real-world evidence in hereditary angioedema treatments value assessment update

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER; MA, USA) has announced it is to update its 2018 value assessment concerning three treatments indicated for long-term prophylaxis against hereditary angioedema attacks.
