Clarification:
An expanded scope of review has been granted for pembrolizumab (Keytruda). In accordance with the pCODR Procedures, the pCODR Provincial Advisory Group (PAG) requested additional information on pembrolizumab (Keytruda) which extend beyond the submitted scope of the review. Revision of review scope may be considered by pCODR in very limited instances, based on jurisdictional input, feasibility to conduct the revised review and clinical importance. All three criteria for scope modification were met in this case. The timeline of the review was temporarily stopped, pending receipt of the additional information. The timeline of the review has resumed as the additional information has now been provided and a new target pERC date has been set by pCODR.
