The CtE programme enables patients to access promising new treatments which are not routinely commissioned, whilst new data is collected within a formal evaluation programme, potentially leading to the development of a clinical commissioning policy for future use. Applications are invited from providers wishing to act as participating centres in a new CtE programme focussing on SABR in the treatment of oligometastatic disease, primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and re-irradiation of the spine and pelvis. It is expected that a smaller number of providers will act as participating centres for HCC and re-irradiation as compared to those for Oligometastatic disease. Providers wishing to participate in the programme must clearly state the scope of their application within the template. CtE is an innovative programme introduced by NHS England to support promising new treatments where the evidence base is not yet sufficiently developed to support routine commissioning. CtE enables new data to be collected within a formal evaluation programme and is run in partnership with the National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE). SABR is currently only routinely commissioned as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. The SABR CtE programme will run for a period of up to three years and it expected that the first patients will begin to receive treatment from the CtE from 15 June 2015.
