Untangling the Web 13th Edition • Yearly MSF publication since 2001 to provide pricing of ARVs in response to lack of transparent and reliable information on pricing of ARVs • Used as lobby advocacy tool, quotes in publication, source of price comparison, patent informations, access issues • One of the most comprehensive pricing information on originator ARVs • We are online: utw.msfaccess.org
ARVs Cost Projections • Next slides show price projections in 2014 by Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) • Brazilian study showed that 55-99% of the direct manufacturing costs of drug is represented by the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)1 • Prices are based on CHAI estimation of the products in a commoditized generic market based on costing model where API contributes 70% of the price. Cost estimate of pipeline drug is based on triple FDC and not indicative of single products. Do not address access related issues other than long term cost in a competitive market • Pipeline drugs are showed for the interest of price comparison and more data is needed to determine its safety and efficacy 1 Pinheiro E, Vasan A, Kim JY, et al., Examining the production costs of antiretroviral drugs. AIDS 2006, 20: 1745-1752
Elvucitabine is not yet marketed, in Phase II studies - Achillion
Rilpivirine is not yet marketed, in Phase III studies - Tibotec
Elvitegravir and GS 9350 (cobicistat) is not yet marketed in Phase III studies – Gilead RAL and DVR pricing estimates are derived using conservative long term estimates on anticipated generic API cost and reflect pricing in a commoditized generic market

In an ideal world… • Cost optimized drugs • Generic competition • No intellectual property access barriers • Improve process chemistry of production resulting in greater price reduction
Is there more to cost? • Cost effectiveness studies are often used as a guide to change a current regimen by measuring the change in cost over the change in health benefits • MSF study in Lesotho analysed 943 patients comparing those started on TDF, AZT and d4T based regimen and the cost associated with treatment, monitoring, hospitalisation, consultations • Results on Oral Late Breaker, Session Room 4, 11.00am-12.30pm tomorrow
