Abstract
Fast track appraisal (FTA) was adopted by NICE in 2017. This faster and more simplified process is mainly used for novel pharmaceutical agents that are considered bioequivalent to an already recommended drug with added advantages or reduced costs. In June 2022 NICE used FTA to recommend diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) for the management of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). This short article explores the potential role the drug may play within the pantheon of disease modifying treatment for RRMS.
