Big Pharma often uses the cost of research to justify the price gouging. Understandable when they are recouping the cost of developing new medications, but they had absolutely nothing to do with the development of insulin. The exorbitant prices for insulin were pure, evil, corporate greed.

John Cole 8 months ago

Can we update that to "all large companies"? They are just gonna make as much money as they can, as far as possible within the confines of the law. E.g. Insulin is really cheap in the UK because health system is more regulated. Big pharma can't charge the NHS £300 for a shot of insulin, because then they'd sell no insulin in the UK. So its about £15 a shot, which is much closer to cost. On the flip side, it genuinely does cost $billions to develop a brand new d**g. With no charges above cost, pharma goes bust, far less research, far less types of medication, far less health improvement over time. Honestly, its an issue of regulation of health services.

Hemagenix differs in that it is not a vaccine or treatment of symptoms medicine. It is gene therapy. It will actually repair the damaged gene that causes hemophilia B, so it can make its own Factor IX. the price tho...these companies should be ashamed of themselves

Demand is low, cost (not just price) is high. It might be outrageous but it makes economic sense. Pharma companies have to take time to make d***s that treat rare diseases, which detracts from making the more d***s that treat common diseases. I work in pharma pricing and can confirm this. Most people have no idea.

Omg, 6 months chemo here costs about 30,000€ - paid for by the public health - and a full course of immunotherapy is about the same - again, free on the public health as they see it as an investment and better than paying for you to be hospitalised for a long time if you get sicker.

From the Hemgenix Wiki page: "The manufacturer claims that the d**g will reduce total health care costs because patients will have fewer bleeding incidents and need fewer clotting treatments. Basically the company is saying that since they're going to lose out on other medical treatments they're going to make all their money on this one treatment.

tameson 8 months ago (edited)

This d**g treats an "orphan" disease, hemophilia B. So few people have the condition that d**g companies have virtually no chance of recouping the costs of the research to develop a treatment. The current treatment for this disease is a lifelong series of frequent blood infusions. Expected cost over the patient's lifetime is over $47 million. Hemgenix is a one-time gene therapy, so it is actually much, much cheaper than the existing treatments. Plus the improvement in the patient's quality of life must be amazing. The treatment is almost certainly being paid for by private or public health insurance, who are saving money in the long-term. And the company can earn a profit off their investment. The only problem is all those orphan diseases that no company is even trying to develop a treatment for. Edit to add: Yes I know a good portion of those research costs were almost certainly from government sources. But the company still put in a huge investment that they have to recoup. And I know there are many, many instances of pharmaceutical companies engaging in horrendous business practices just to jack up their profit margin. I just don't believe this story is an example of that.

Evelina Šiukšterytė

Photo Editor Assistant at Bored Panda. In 2023, Evelina graduated from the Photography Technology Studies at the Vilnius College of Technology and Design. Photography caught her eye since high school, so after 4 years of spending her free time with a camera and photographing her friends, she decided to turn her hobby into a job she likes. However, as usually happens after the studies, Evelina felt that she lost herself in photography and decided to take a break on that, but not completely abandon photography itself. Besides photography, Evelina also found another hobby - embroidery. She creates tote bags with her embroidered designs, so as you can understand, she loves arts and crafts. Also, Evelina spent all her 12 years at school with music by her side, which is still one of the most important things in her life.
