Lyophilized Factor VIII produced by recombinant technology 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
13
Inhibitor Circulating antibody to factor VIII or IX Affects 8-20% of severe fVIII patients Affects 1-3% of FIX Treatment – increase factor – bypass antibodies – immune intolerance 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
14
Viral Exposure HIV HEP B and C Parvo Virus CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease) 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
15
Therapies for Hemophilia patients with Inhibitors Adequate factor VIII to overwhelm the inhibitor and maintain an adequate factor VIII level Porcine factor VIII Designer human-porcine hybrid FVIII molecules rFVIIa (NovoSeven) FEIBA Plasmapheresis 2008 www.hemoalliance.org

HTC Services Clinical Research Pharmacy 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
18
Research Services Clinical research studies – Improved products for treatment -- Not experimental – New technology for delivery of care – Viral safety improvements Outcomes research – Joint outcome study – Radiological evaluation – Hemophilia Utilization Group Study – Quality of Life – Satisfaction surveys – Radiosynoviorthesis 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
19
Benefits of Service Integration Better health care outcomes – Delayed treatment leads to poor outcome – Customized/individualized care Maximizes use of product and services – Clinic visit vs. ED or hospitalization – Better follow-up 2008 www.hemoalliance.org

22
INTEGRATION CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT Customized dosing based on assay availability and patient recovery data—maximum use of resources Customized dispensing—contributes to treatment plan adherence and compliance Weekly case conference with team—patient knowledge increases compliance Utilization reports and data 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
23
LOW COST PROVIDER DRUG PRICING METHODOLOGY Cost based vs. % mark-up basis Allows for product use based on therapeutic benefits, not profit As pharmacy volume increases, overhead decreases, price per unit decreases “threshold pricing”—highest utilization patients caps profits for HTC 2008 www.hemoalliance.org
