CONCLUSIONS
No evidence assessing survival in patients with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 under treatment with cerliponase alfa has been identified.
Low-quality evidence suggests that in patients three to nine years old with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2, treatment with intraventricular cerliponase alfa might slow progression towards disability of the motor function and speech areas at short term when compared with historical controls. No evidence related to the potential impact on other disease manifestations such as seizures or visual acuity loss has been found.
Serious adverse events took place very frequently and included hypersensitivity, upper respiratory tract infection, epilepsy, pharyngitis, gastroenteritis, pyrexia and device-related infection. No evidence assessing the effectiveness of this treatment at long term has been identified.
In Argentina, this technology has been not approved for the assessed indication. The clinical practice guidelines identified from high-income countries do not mention this technology for the assessed indication. Among the healthcare payers consulted only Germany and one United States private institution cover this technology for the assessed indication. One preliminary analysis carried out by the United Kingdom’s NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) highlights the uncertainty about the potential long-term benefit of this technology and its high cost; therefore it would not be cost-effective in the United Kingdom considering its current values.
In Argentina, no economic studies for this technology have been found. An informal budget impact analysis from Chile showed a high budgetary impact.
