Study Questions Cost-Effectiveness of MS Drugs


July 20, 2011 -- Drugs that slow progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) offer health gains to some at very high prices, a new study shows.

The study seems likely to reignite the national debate about how best to rein in runaway health care costs. It found that adding an injectable disease-modifying drug to the treatment of MS patients roughly doubles the cost of care, while only providing small population-level improvements in survival and quality of life.

Doctors who were not involved in the study were alarmed by its findings.

"We know, unequivocally, that these drugs slow the progression of the disease and slow the course of the disease," says Karen Blitz-Shabbir, MD, director of multiple sclerosis care center at North Shore-LIJ Glen Cove Hospital in New York.

"When I first started training, people were hospitalized all the time and did much worse than they do now," she says, "So we know for sure these drugs are good."

But the cost of the drugs continues to soar.

Even in the face of new competition from a new pill, pharmaceutical companies recently announced increases of nearly 40% over 2010 prices. Disease-modifying drugs for MS carry wholesale prices of as much as $48,000 a year.

"Will the health care companies, the health care industry, prevent patients from accessing the drugs because of a study like this?" Blitz-Shabbir says. "The real problem is the pharmaceutical cost is out of control."

The study is published in Neurology.
