How much does a box of Selumetinib cost?

Selumetinib is used to treat neurofibromas in patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1), a rare progressive disease caused by mutations or defects in the gene encoding neurofibromin 1. Neurofibromatosis type I is typically diagnosed in early childhood and is characterized by changes in skin color (pigmentation), nerve and bone damage, and a risk for the development of benign and malignant tumors throughout life.

Selumetinib is approved specifically for children with symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN), which are tumors involving the nerve sheaths (the coating around nerve fibers) that can grow anywhere in the body, including the face, extremities, areas around the spine, and deep in the body, where they can affect organs. Thirty to 50% of children with neurofibromatosis type I develop one or more plexiform neurofibromas. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it a first-in-class drug and is administered orally.
