17 The RCA (regulation of complement activation) gene cluster has arisen through a series of duplication events

40 What is the prevalence/incidence of ahus in the UK? Data for all UK renal units At least 177 patients in the UK 139 England 23 Scotland 12 Wales 3 Northern Ireland 49 are under the age of female and 68 male 9 patients undergoing plasma therapy 6 adults and 8 children on eculizumab 62 patients undergoing dialysis 9 are on the transplant list Prevalence of ~ 2.7/million but 5.5/million in North East 2009 and new patients : incidence of 0.25 (0.4)

41 A national ahus service for England Very rare diseases in England are managed through a National Specialised Service PNH is managed through such a service Application considered by the Advisory Group for National Specialised Services in June 2012 referred to NICE If successful Based in Newcastle Shared care service for both paediatric/adults Special investigations (genetics/autoantibodies) Eculizumab administered locally but paid for out of a central budget 24 hr on-call service for advice

48 Lessons from using eculizumab in PNH Meningococcal disease 0.5 events per 100 year 2 deaths with delay in diagnosis/therapy UK, all patients get antibiotics, throat swab Serology post tetravalent vaccine Eculizumab dosage measure levels <50mg/ml susceptible to breakthrough >100mg/ml blocked Pregnancy Does not cross the placenta Higher doses needed No neutralising antibodies detected

49 Drugs costing over $200,000/year Drug Indication Company Soliris (eculizumab) Elaprase (idursulfase) Naglazyme (galsulfase) Cinryze (C1 esterase inhibitor) Myozyme (alglucosidase) Arcalyst (rilonacept) Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) Cerezyme (imiglucerase) Aldurazyme (laronidase) PNH and ahus Hunter syndrome Maroteaux Lamy syndrome Hereditary angiodema Pompe disease Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes Fabry disease Gaucher disease Hurler syndrome Alexion Shire BioMarin ViroPharma ViroPharma Regeneron Genzyme Genzyme Genzyme BioMarin

50 Justification for the cost of drugs such as eculizumab Very small number of patients with PNH and ahus Substantial investment in previous trials using pexelizumab and eculizumab 2142 patients in PRIMO-CABG 5100 patients in APEX-AMI 350 patients in rheumatoid arthritis trial $800m investment before approval for PNH $150m investment in manufacturing $200m investment in rare disease R&D

51 Unresolved issues What is the risk of recurrence if eculizumab is withdrawn? 18 patients have stopped therapy and the disease has relapsed in 5. What are the renal risks of long term therapy? Ongoing C3 deposition. Binding to C5 in renal tissues Herlitz et al, JASN 2012
