    Patients with recurring multiple myeloma can now get Sarclisa on the NHS in England and Wales after cost regulator NICE published final guidelines for Sanofi Sarclisa( isatuximab).
    NICE guidelines recommend sarclisa in a joint pomalidomide and dexamison treatment for relapsed and incurable multiple myeloma.
    institute said there was no regular NHS funding at the time because of the limited clinical data and uncertainty about cost-effectiveness.
    Childt Boysen, chief executive of NICE Health Technology Assessment Centre, said: "Our independent assessment committee has recognised that patients with multiple myeloma who are difficult to treat need more treatment options.
    some of the data we have seen from our committee suggest that Sarclisa combined pomalidomide and dexamisson can slow the progression of the disease and extend the life of patients compared to current treatment options."
    multiple myeloma is a malignant tumor (cancer) that causes abnormal growth of plasma cells that invade the bone marrow.
    multiple myeloma is mostly asymptomatic at first, if the disease worsens, there will be bone pain, often infected, anemia symptoms.
