The draft is interim only, pending further input and should not be taken as final. Stakeholders can now register for the meeting and should submit formal comments, or requests to make oral comment, by email. "We are hopeful these expanded timeframes will enable all stakeholders to instead focus on meeting the needs of their patient communities during this national emergency," said the statement. Timeline updates will be posted on the ICER website. ICER Indefinitely Postpones Public Meetings for Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis; Expands Other Assessment Timelines Up to Three Months.
