Key Investments to Launch the Precision Medicine Initiative:
Complementing robust investments to broadly support research, development, and innovation, the President’s 2016 Budget will provide a $215 million investment for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), together with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to support this effort, including:
$130 million to NIH for development of a voluntary national research cohort of a million or more volunteers to propel our understanding of health and disease and set the foundation for a new way of doing research through engaged participants and open, responsible data sharing.
$70 million to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of NIH, to scale up efforts to identify genomic drivers in cancer and apply that knowledge in the development of more effective approaches to cancer treatment.
$10 million to FDA to acquire additional expertise and advance the development of high quality, curated databases to support the regulatory structure needed to advance innovation in precision medicine and protect public health.
$5 million to ONC to support the development of interoperability standards and requirements that address privacy and enable secure exchange of data across systems.

Misura del prezzo dei farmaci anti-tumorali
Attualmente il prezzo dei nuovi farmaci viene misurato da
Rapporto costo/efficacia
Prolungamento della vita del paziente in anni
Anni di vita guadagnati (QALs)
• Complessivamente rispetto al precedente decennio il range
del prezzo degli agenti anti-tumorali risulta duplicato da $
4.500 a più di $10.000 per mese

Prolungamento ≥1/3 dell’aspettativa di vita nel setting di pazienti considerato (attesa di vita 12 mesi incremento significativo ≥16 mesi; attesa di vita 6 mesi incremento significativo ≥8 mesi)
I fascia
Farmaci ad efficacia intermedia II fascia Prolungamento statisticamente significativo
<15% dell’aspettativa di vita nel setting di pazienti considerato
III fascia

Quali prospettive per garantire l’accesso ai farmaci
Innovazione, sostenibilità e appropriatezza vanno correlati alla organizzazione del sistema sanitario e del percorso assistenziale
In fase di disegno di uno studio clinico e di interpretazione dei risultati da parte delle autorità regolatorie considerare la rilevanza clinica dei risultati statisticamente significativi
Inplementazione della ricerca per individuare fattori predittivi (biologici e clinici) di sensibilità/resistenza
I vantaggi dell’introduzione di un farmaco vanno considerati nell’ambito di una strategia terapeutica (miglioramenti addizionali) e dell’intero processo diagnostico-terapeutico
Rivisitazione dei sistemi di rimborso e costi sulla base dell’effectiveness e dei dati di registri a termine definito, e prospettiva di un fondo nazionale per i farmaci oncologici
