Pharmac funds time-saving meds
Posted 10 April 2026 AM
Pharmac has announced new funding for cancer drugs and an antiviral, with the listings expected to ease pressure on the hospital system by reducing the time spent there.
From 1 May treatment options for people living with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) will be expanded, with AbbVie's Venclexta funded in combination with Johnson & Johnson's Imbruvica or Roche's Gazyva as a first line treatment option for CLL. Further, access to Imbruvica will be widened as a second line treatment regardless of a patient's specific mutation.
