Additional remarks De prijs in Nederland is nog niet bekend. In een kosteneffectiviteit studie bij longkanker lijkt de prijs per patiënt wel lager uit te vallen dan bij bijvoorbeeld de PD-L1 remmer nivolumab. Gegeven de prijs van andere PD1-remmers binnen dit indicatiegebied is de verwachting dat de kosten €30.000 tot €60.000 per patiënt per jaar zullen bedragen.
