1 Economy of rare (orphan) technologies Pavel Vorobyev, MD, PhD, Professor President Russian Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research

2 In the world Theme of rare (orphan) technologies appeared in USA in 1983 In Europe there are pan-European documents European List of Orphan Drugs has 440 positions

3 Main groups of orphan medical technologies Hereditary diseases of cells metabolism Central nervous system diseases Hematology Oncology Thrombophilias Transplantology Cardiovascular, lung and mixed diseases Rheumatic diseases

4 In Russia List of orphan medical technologies appeared in 2005 Nowadays it contains 40 technologies There is no special legislation and regulation in Russia

5 Orphan diseases and orphan technologies Affect small number of people – from several to in Russia There is a treatment with a dramatic effect available Target therapy Changes in diseases classifications There is need for different diagnostic approach Rarity makes it impossible: -To conduct common clinical studies -To register across the world -Sell from drugstores -Sell for prices, based on a prime cost

6 Patients registry – new methodology of investigation becomes available Investigating typical practice or real world There is a need for simple, automatic, standardized process. Both doctors and patients take part in the development and management of registries Time-consuming (for rare diseases) Should be international (especially for rare diseases), always multicentered Can lead to unexpected results, that contradicts to existing stereotypes and practice Should include economics issues

7 Antibodies to antihemophilic factor VIII as an example of orphan technologies Patients appeared after introducing of VIII factor in 2005 (10-times increasing consumption, in ,5-times increasing) Number of patients with antibodies – 150 people, should be about 600 Antibodies are detected only in 4-5 regions of Russia Cost of treatment: -To stop bleeding USD per year for the whole life -To remove antibodies - up to 8 mln. USD per year, then – standard treatment (not always helps!)

8 Issues of orphan diseases diagnosing High-specialized molecular-biologic methods – expensive equipment, trained personnel In the world – diagnostics is concentrated in specialized centres, in Russia – is made by pharmaceutical companies There is no practice of obtaining and post delivery of biologic material There is neither scientific nor managing program of development

9 Professional Service for Rare (Orphan) Diseases of Formulary Committee of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Standards and protocols of medical care Public monitoring of governmental program of drug supply for 7 rare diseases Proposals for regulating documents Collaboration of different target groups – doctors, patients, manufactures, distributors, managers Assessment of quality of life and economics of program Creation of state policy and governmental program for rare diseases, including diagnostic issues

10 Orphan diseases and orphan drugs Hypophysial nanism: Somatropin Multiple sclerosis : Glatiramer acetate, Interferon beta-1a, Interferon beta-1b Myeloid leukemia and other hemoblastosis : Bortezomib, Imatinib, Rituximab, Fludarabine Gaucher's disease : Imiglucerase Cystic fibrosis: Dornase alfa Transplantation: Mycophenolic acid, Mycophenolate mofetil, Tacrolimus, Ciclosporin Hemophilia: Antihemophilic factor VIII, Octocog alfa, Antihemophilic factor IX, Eptacog alfa (activated)

15 Main challenges To investigate quality of life in patients suffering from 7 orphan diseases To investigate correlation of quality of life with treatment To determine cost of QALY

16 Governmental program for orphan diseases Diagnostic in diagnostic centres for orphan diseases (3-4 across Russia) Centres for orphan diseases in all regions of Russia Responsible for orphan diseases doctors in each region and territory Address delivery of drugs Home treatment Centres for drug infusion and injection in one-day hospitals Registers with participation of primary care doctors
