The maximum price for CAR-T therapy is $650,000: Is it reasonable?

Analysts from Jefferies (Wall Street's famous investment bank) pointed out last week that the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) of the NHS in the UK conducted a simulated valuation analysis that CAR-T therapy is used to treat children. In patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), it is reasonable to set a maximum price of $649,000.

However, the above assessment does not mean that companies such as Novartis and Kite can be priced according to this standard after their CAR-T therapy is approved for treatment of ALL. Jeffrey's analysts said that $649,000 is almost the price cap for KTE-C19 (Kite Pharmaceuticals Inc.), the first to submit a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma listing application.

Jeffrey's analysts also raised the price forecast for KTE-C19 in the US from $200,000 to $300,000, and raised its price in Europe from $125,000 to $204,000.

CAR-T疗法最高定价为65万美元,合理吗?

Jeffrey's analysts pointed out that this price assessment has certain limitations. This clinical value-based price assessment only considers children and adolescent ALL patients. If elderly patients are taken into account, they will get a lower reasonable price. . A Novartis spokesperson commented: "It is still too early to discuss these issues. We will consider pricing issues when the drugs are approved for listing.

At the beginning of this year, Novartis submitted to the FDA a CTL-01 application for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B cell ALL in children and adolescents. At the end of the year, Novartis plans to submit a CTL019 treatment for adult diffuse large B-cell lymphoma to the FDA, and submit a CTL019 application for treatment of these two indications to the EMA.

In December last year, a phase II trial published by Novartis at the ASH2016 conference showed that 50 patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL in children and adolescents received CTL019 for 3 months, and 41 patients achieved complete remission or no blood count. full recovery. According to data released by Kite, 9 patients with ALL and children with ALL underwent KTE-C19 treatment, and 9 patients achieved complete remission.

A reasonable price is that each quality-adjusted life year costs no more than £50,000, and the NHS estimate is equivalent to assuming that the CAR-T therapy can bring 11 quality-adjusted life years, 10 years more than the current standard therapy.
