The Boston-based In­sti­tute for Clin­i­cal and Eco­nom­ic Re­view, a drug price watch­dog, has re­vised its re­port on sick­le cell gene ther­a­pies and is plan­ning a new re­port this Sep­tem­ber that will eval­u­ate how CMS might ne­go­ti­ate the prices for two block­busters: Bris­tol My­ers Squibb’s Eliquis (apix­a­ban) and Bay­er’s Xarel­to (ri­varox­a­ban).
