Inside The Pricing Of A $300,000-A-Year
Drug

Inside the pricing of A $300,000-A-Year Drug:
GATTEX
Approved in 2012 and indicated to treat the Short Bowel
Syndrome.
Short Bowel Syndrome:
Malabsorption disorder caused by surgical resection of small
intestine (lenght < 2m), resulting from: Crohn’s disease,Tumors,
Necrotizing entorocolitis, Injury or Trauma…
Leads to malabsoprtion of proteins,
nutrients, fluids and electrolytes.

Symptoms:
• Fluid imbalance
• Weight loss
• Anemia
• Malnutrition

Inside the pricing of A $300,000-A-Year Drug:
GATTEX
Treatments:
Depending on severity, malabsorption can be overcome by: increasing oral
uptake…
But…If this treatment fails, patients become dependant on PN/IV
Nutrition.
Inherent risks
Catheter infection=100%
Diarrhea=50%
Ostomy leak= 38%
Impact :
Change ostomy bag 3-4X a day
2-3L watery diarrhea a day
On PN/IV 10 hrs up to 7 days a week
Sleep is disrupted
Can’t work

• Approved in 2000 by the FDA, Cell Therapeutics, Seattle
• Treatment of an orphan disease : acute promyelocytic
leukemia (APL) :
• 2nd intention : Patients with refractory to, or have
relapsed from retinoid and anthracycline chemotherapy
31
Trisenox® by Cell Therapeutics
• APL :
• About 2000 patients in the USA
• Treatment :
• Trans retinoic acid
• Antracycline based chemotherapy
• 2nd line : arsenic trioxide
• Bone marrow transplant
• Clinical trials of Trisenox :
• The drug was shown to be effective with 87% of the
patients achieving complete remission
• At a mediane of 57 days of treatment
• SMR : Important
32
Trisenox by Cell Therapeutics
• 22,000 $ for a year of treatment
• Concerns about 400 patients in the USA
• Designated Orphan Drug :
• Financial breaks by the federal government
• Market exclusivity for 7 years
• In the USA :
• Marketing off label prohibited
• BUT drug’s reach not limited to its approved use

Cell Therapeutics fortunes turned…
• Lawsuit against the company accusing it
of illegally promoting Trisenox off-label
• The federal government joined the suit
• CTI accept to pay$ 10,5 million to resolve the allegations
• To this day, Trisenox has not been licensed for anything but the
rare disease that first put it on the market.
37
Others federal alegations for promoting orphan
drugs for off-label uses :
Other drug makers accused of improperly promoting or
marketing orphan drugs licensed for rare diseases :
• Aranesp, Amgen :
✔ Anemia in patients with non-myeloid malignancies where
anemias due to the effect of concomitantly administered
chemotherapy
✘ Not approved : use of treating anemia in cancerous patients
who are not undergoing chemotherapy.
➜ $ 762 million to pay
• Temodal, Schering-Plough :
✔ Glioblastoma
✘ Otherforms of brain tumors and metastatic cancers
➜ $ 435 million to pay

Strategies for repositioning orphan drugs
Finding new indications for existing drugs:
• Well known safety and pharmacocinetic profils
• Shorter development time and lower development costs :
• In vitro and in vivo screening
• Chemical optimization
• Toxicology
• Bulk manufacturing

Drugs effective against multiple rare diseases
Imatinib : approved for several orphan indications
•
Inhibiting on multiple tyrosine kinase :
• Chronic myeloid leukemia
• Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
• Aggressive systemic mastocytosis
• Gastro intestinal stromal tumors
• Hypereosinophilic syndrome

nodosum
• Antitubercular agents : Rifampin

Dual endothelin receptor antagonist
• Orphan approval:
• Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
• Clinical trials in patients with chronic heart failure :
• Phase III, ENABLE
⇒ Not statistical significance for the risk reduction in time
to death or hospitalization, and clinical status
• Clinical trials in patients poorly controlled asthma :
• On going

Sildenafil :
• Inhibiting cGMP Phosphodiesterase 5
• 1998 : Firstly approved for erectile dysfunction
• 2005 : Approved for the treatment of pulmonary
arterial hypertension
• Increase 6 fold the price compared to the common
posology

Reimbursement decision-making
Development of the AGNSS in UK: Advisory Group for National Specialised
Services.
1/ Rarity implies small patient populations
• High prices to recoup R&D
• Quality of the evidence
•  High and uncertain cost-effectiveness
2/ Special status of Orphan drugs
• Principe of equity
• Opportunity costs
•  Societal issue
45
Decision
methods
Other criterion
Criteria other than Cost-effectiveness are used for reimbursement.
Δ Cost = ICER < Willingness to Pay
Δ Effect
46
Decision
methods
Other criterion
Clinical benefit
Ethical/moral considerations :
• Equitable access
• Cost to patient if not reimbursed
Severity of the disease, Unmet medical need
Availability of other therapies
47
Decision
methods
Other criterion
Patients with rare conditions deserve the same quality, safety and
efficacy in medicinal products as other patients…” ( EU regulation).
Need for more quality clinical evidence:
Regulators and payers could more consistently appraise
orphan drugs Risks and Benefits.
48
Conclusion
• In 2011 : Only 15 % of Orphan drug among the NME
• In 2012 : 38% of NME
• In 2013 : 33% of NME.
• More data generation before and after the marketing authorization for
payers and agencies.
• A regular reassessment of the Ods in order to ensure an optimal use.
49
According to us
• For public, Orphan drugs seem to be a good way of making money
- Only 30% on Orphan Drugs are concerned by high prices.
- Moreover, development of that drugs tend to stabilize.
• Would orphan drugs brake the development of new drugs for common
diseases?
• Carry on incentives to promote orphan drug development.
