Timeline

Key events during the development of the guidance:

Date Update
08 July 2025 Committee meeting: 3
23 May 2025 The third committee meeting for this appraisal will no longer take place on 11 June 2025, and will be rescheduled to a later date. This date clashes with the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) conference, and so several of the clinical experts selected to participate in the appraisal will be unavailable. NICE is in the process of rescheduling the meeting and will provide an update as soon as possible.
04 April 2025 NICE has requested additional evidence from stakeholders. This will be reviewed ahead of a 3rd committee meeting in June 2025.
19 December 2024 At the technology appraisal committee meeting on Wednesday 04 December 2024, the committee was unable to make a recommendation, because further information is needed. The appraisal will be paused whilst NICE gathers additional information, and stakeholders will be updated in due course. The expected publication date is now TBC.
04 December 2024 Committee meeting: 2
26 September 2024 - 17 October 2024 Draft guidance
