Am I eligible for Imcivree patient assistance?

To be eligible for the Imcivree patient assistance program, you will need to meet specific eligibility criteria set by the pharmaceutical company. At NiceRx, we review each Imcivree enrollment application individually. The main factors considered are:

  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Imcivree patient assistance program?

Applying for the Imcivree patient assistance program through NiceRx is simple. Begin by completing the enrollment application on our website. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers that supply your medication. We may be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications as well as Imcivree, so please tell us about any medications that you have been prescribed.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Imcivree assistance, we will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. We will work with your healthcare provider to prepare and submit all the documents required for you to enroll. If you are successfully enrolled in the Imcivree patient assistance program, we will also request your Imcivree medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year.

What is Imcivree?

Imcivree is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Rhythm Pharmaceutical, Inc. Imcivree is a melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptor agonist indicated for chronic weight management (weight loss and weight maintenance for at least one year) in adult and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with obesity (adults had a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more) due to proopiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1), or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency confirmed by genetic testing demonstrating variants in POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR genes that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance (VUS). 8 out of 10 people lost at least 10% of their body weight at 1 year of treatment with Imcivree.

The limitations of the use of Imcivree are that it is not indicated for the treatment of patients with obesity due to suspected POMC-, PCSK1-, or LEPR-deficiency with POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR variants classified as benign or likely benign, or other types of obesity not related to POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency, including obesity-associated with other genetic syndromes and general (polygenic) obesity.

What doses of Imcivree are available?

Imcivree is available in injection form, in the following doses: 10 mg/mL solution in a 1 mL multiple-dose vial.

The starting dose in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older is 2 mg (0.2 mL) injected subcutaneously once daily for 2 weeks. If the starting dose is not tolerated, reduce to 1 mg (0.1 mL) once daily. If the 1 mg once daily dose is tolerated and additional weight loss is desired, titrate to 2 mg (0.2 mL) once daily. If the 2 mg daily dose is tolerated, increase the dose to 3 mg (0.3 mL) once daily. If the 3 mg once daily dose is not tolerated, maintain the administration of 2 mg (0.2 mL) once daily. The starting dose in pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age is 1 mg (0.1 mL) injected subcutaneously once daily for 2 weeks.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
