This is an evidence-based educational service of the American Academy of Neurology. It is designed to provide members with evidence-based guideline recommendations to assist with decision-making in patient care. It is based on an assessment of current scientific and clinical information, and is not intended to exclude any reasonable alternative methodologies. Strong evidence = research studies with high-quality data collection, this shows that the treatment is either effective, ineffective, or harmful. Good evidence = data collection using a combination of high-and low-quality methods, this shows that the treatment is probably either effective, ineffective, or harmful. Moderate evidence = research studies with low-quality data collection, this shows that the treatment is possibly either effective, ineffective, or harmful.

The information for this section was collected through research on companies’ websites and other publicly available sources order 100mg caverta visa erectile dysfunction lotion. Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to make their products available to those in need purchase caverta 50mg mastercard erectile dysfunction 70 year olds. Growing demand for cancer care in low- and middle-income countries requires companies with cancer drug portfolios to develop access strategies. Roche’s strategy with regards to access to medicines in the developing world is set out in the document ‘Access to Healthcare –Roche’s global commitment’. According to this document, the aim of the company ‘is for every person who needs our products to be able to access and benefit from them’. The paper goes on to say that ‘Roche shares a joint responsibility with governments, international organizations and the rest of our industry to tackle the challenges of improving access to quality healthcare. Roche lists the following approaches for improving affordability:  securing reimbursement through commercial arrangements and/or differential pricing;  assisting patients who pay out-of-pocket through patient assistance programmes;  contributing to the development of private health insurance coverage. Roche is in the process of establishing differential pricing programmes for their therapies, including anti-cancer drugs, in low- and middle-income countries. In the Philippines, Roche is experimenting with a tiered pricing scheme for Herceptin that is linked to the individual patient’s ability to pay, as assessed by a third party. There is no information publicly available about the price levels that have been set, nor the outcome of the programme. However, based on information from a blogger/journalist in the Philippines writing about 31 Access to Cancer Treatment: A study of medicine pricing issues with recommendations for improving access to cancer medication. Roche points out that there are many challenges with implementing differential pricing, identifying the use of international reference pricing as a concern. Roche calls for global solidarity to ensure that lower prices granted to low- and middle-income countries are not taken advantage of by high-income countries. They want to see inter- governmental action to ensure that reference pricing and parallel trade are not used outside groups of countries of the same economic development level. Another approach to differential pricing is through ‘second brands’ which means that the same product has a different brand name and packaging from the original Roche product. Examples of a cancer drug second brand includes Herclon, a renamed and repackaged brand of trastuzumab (Herceptin) provided by Emcure in India, following an agreement with Roche. In 2003 the New York Times criticized Novartis for using the programme to prevent generic supply by threatening to stop its donations when generic versions of the medicines are made available, and to enlist patients to lobby 106 for reimbursement of the drug. In the case of cancer medicines they use direct-to-patient donations, which involve case-by-case management. Drug donations can never provide a sustainable answer to the current cancer care crisis in low- and middle-income countries. Differential pricing is only practised in the case of the antimalarial drug Coartem – which is a second brand of the antimalarial drug artemeter/lumefantrine sold under the brand Riamet for travellers from high- income countries. Novartis is open to 107 licensing of their patents for neglected tropical diseases research only. Sanofi’s central approach to affordability is through ‘a differentiated pricing policy to help ensure medicines are affordable for all’. And to ‘Adapt our commercial offering based on the economic conditions in the countries we seek to help’. Cancer is mentioned in the context of support programmes for prevention, diagnosis and follow-up, for chronic diseases (e. But the website does not list a programme or outlines an approach to provide access to Sanofi’s cancer medicines. Genzyme, a Sanofi biotech company, works with Project Hope and the National Cancer Coalition to donate medicines. It provides the following information about access to its products in developing countries: Outside the United States, medical care is often managed and funded by national governments. In such countries, Genzyme works closely with governments to help facilitate approval of our treatments and ensure that they are accessible to citizens covered by national health services (Genzyme. In developing countries, we help physicians and local authorities build sustainable health care systems that can pay for critical treatment. Where such systems do not yet exist, we provide free treatment to patients in the interim until longer-term, sustainable solutions can be established locally. Bristol-Myers Squibb Bristol-Myers Squibb, according to its own website, is a global BioPharma company that is producing medicine to help patients in their fight against major diseases, including cancer.
