Correction at 12:43:
In March 2021, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) recommended Beovu for listing on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). The listing recommendation is for wet AMD patients who are non-responsive despite first line anti-VEGF treatment with other agents. Further steps in the process need to be completed before Beovu becomes available on the PBS. MDFA will advise once Beovu is available on the PBS.
