Explore the impact of regulatory policies on biosimilars production for better access to high-cost drugs without overburdening healthcare systems in developing countries. Population Needs: Unlimited demands, limited resources, market dynamics, science, innovation, technology

The role of regulatory policies in relation to the local biosimilarsproduction
The Problem: The increased coverage and access to high-cost drugs, will end up by defunding the health systems of developing and poorer countries. New policies are needed to decide who should be cover, which drugs should be provide and which will be the costs associated to whose decisions.

UniversityResearch Center of Pharmacology –PAHO/WHO CUFAR wasenchargedby PAHO todevelop a strategy in severalcountries in ordertoselect a list of medicines thatshouldbecoveredbythegoverments and torecommendthebestpoliciesthatallowthecoverage of thosedrugs. • Barbados 2010 • Brazil 2005 • Ecuador 2007 • Guyana 2009 • Uruguay 2003 • Costa Rica 2016 • Guatemala 2016 • Jamaica 2017 • T & Tobago 2014 • Honduras 2017 • Haiti 2010 • Panamá 2009 • Paraguay 2012 • Perú 2006 • Venezuela 2007
TheMethod • It begins with an order from the Pharmaceutical Industry, an association of patients or medical prescriber who request a high cost drug for a certain disease. • Study the local context (prevalence of the disease, epidemiology, etc). • Objective of the treatment of that disease (Hard Variables: Cure? Reduce complications? NOT Soft Variables like reduce a level of a laboratory parameter. • Which are results obtained by the present treatments in order to modify hard Variables? • Comparative analysis between the new high cost drug and the classical treatment

Results of theresearch • Pertuzumab gives an overal survival of 45 day in average in early breast and metastasic cancer HER2 +
El trastuzumab improved OS and DFS in women with HER2+ breast either recently diagnosed or in metastasic cases

Conclusion of theresearch • Alone, Pertuzumab was unable to improve survival in breast cancer disease. • Pertuzumab+Doxorrubicin+CFM+Pacitaxel+Trastuzumab improves the overall survival in 45 day in average to women with HER2 + Breast cancer . • If we provide Pertuzumab in order to extend patient’s life in 45 days, all the Health’s budget must be used in this decision. • Trastuzumabimprovedoverallsurvival up to 40% at 5 years in womenwith HER2 + Breastcancer and toprovidethisdrugitisneedthe 30% of thebudget.
