NICE has recommended further evidence generation for the Genedrive MT-RNR1 ID Kit, a technology developed to detect a genetic variant that guides antibiotic use and prevents hearing loss in babies. This plan outlines the gaps in evidence for the technology and the real-world data that needs to be collected for a future NICE review. The responsibility for data collection and analysis lies with the technology developer. Support for evidence generation will be facilitated by the Office for Life Sciences, pending […]

The Genedrive MT-RNR1 ID Kit has potential benefits in identifying babies at risk of hearing loss from aminoglycoside due to the MT-RNR1 m.1555A>G variant, allowing for alternative antibiotics to be used instead. However, managing the risk of early access is important, including ensuring timely antibiotics, avoiding unnecessary use of alternative antibiotics, and confirming positive results. The economic evidence suggests cost-effectiveness, but upfront costs may be high. Data should be generated in centers with babies from different ethnicities to promote equality.
