Abstract

CADTH recommends that relugolix (Orgovyx) should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer if certain conditions are met. Orgovyx should only be covered to treat adult patients who have advanced prostate cancer and are not candidates for chemotherapy or surgical therapy soon after initiating treatment. Orgovyx should only be reimbursed if it is prescribed by a clinician with expertise in managing prostate cancer. The cost of Orgovyx should not exceed the drug program cost of treatment with the least costly alternative treatment. Orgovyx should be stopped if the patient experiences severe side effects.
