Additional remarks In de VS kosten 30 tabletten van 100 mg ongeveer $18.500 (€16.400). De behandelduur is momenteel onbekend maar bij behandeling van een jaar zouden de kosten neerkomen op ongeveer €200.000. Mogelijk zal de prijs in de EU lager uitvallen dan in de VS. Financieel grote impact gezien het bovenop de kosten komt voor doxorubicin.
