The number of total patients on treatment in low-and middle-income countries is expected to grow to 20M by 2018 CHAIhasemployedanumberofmarketinterventionstocontribute toourgoal of expandingaccesstokeycommodities Historical and estimated scale up in low- and middle-income countries 15.6M Millions of Patients • 25.9M people are eligible for ART under the 2013 WHO guidelines • Additional efforts are needed to reach universal coverage • UNAIDS is setting even more aggressive targets of 90/90/90 by 2020 Source: CHAI ARV forecasting model; WHO/UNAIDS for historical numbers
Universal access could be affordable: CHAI’s MATCH study found the facility-level cost of treatment at $200 per patient per year in LMICs Cost of treatment per ART patient-year by country (USD) Simple average and median cost of treatment per ART patient-year by country (USD) *Lab category includes consumables only in all countries except SA ** Simple average numbers are not representative of the countries. Weighted average numbers are currently being calculated which will be a better representation of the countries ***Facility-level costs below are from 2009-2010. Costs from South Africa include updated ARV prices, which were renegotiated by the RSA government in early 2010 and are 53% lower than the prices observed during the costing period.
Benefits of early initiation and high retention Costs of delaying initiation • Not treating is not zero cost: Healthcare utilization for HIV+ not on treatment ranges from $5 - $63 per year depending on disease stage* • Pre-ART costs are estimated at $55 -$91 per patient per year (pppy)* • Patients initiated later are more expensive: Established, more complex patients cost an estimated $242 pppy** We need to start talking about the cost of not delivering quality care Example of Zambia • Reduced incidence of OIs and the need for in-patient care leads to lower burden on the health system • No pre-ART costswith universal treatment • Patients initiated earlier cost less: We estimate a $40 reduction in cost for less complex patients due to differences in the intensity of care required** *Eaton et al. Lancet Global Health. December 2013. **CHAI 2014 HIV scale up costing analysis
Improving quality of care may require an investment but will reduce overall costs • Across 4 countries, a 5% increase in retention results in the following by 2020: • 4-6% reduction in new infections • 4-6% reduction in AIDS-related deaths • Up to 4% reduction in treatment and testing costs • We can improve retention through: • Better commodities (e.g., more tolerable ARV regimens with less side effects or more forgiving missed doses) • Proper patient monitoring to ensure VL is suppressed • Innovative models of care (e.g., community support clubs to retain patients) Costs of Achieving Universal Access* by 2020 vs. Retention • *Universal Access defined here as 95% coverage under the 2013 WHO Guidelines. • Note: Figures do not include spending required for finding patients who have been LTFU. Additional analysis is underway to account for these costs. **CHAI and HSPH, HIV scale up costing analysis, 2014.
As part of this effort, we need to accelerate the development and market entry of optimized ARVs CHAIhasemployedanumberofmarketinterventionstocontribute toourgoal of expandingaccesstokeycommodities • Lower-priced regimens: Even marginal reductions in per patient per year prices will lead to large total savings due to the number of patients on ART • Improved tolerability and durability: Products that improve outcomes (increase patient retention and suppress VL) will save money over time
The target product profile for the ideal ARV regimen was developed at the CADO 1 meeting and still holds CHAIhasemployedanumberofmarketinterventionstocontribute toourgoal of expandingaccesstokeycommodities Source: CADO 2 (Conference on Antiretroviral Dose Optimization) meeting report, April 2013
Several emerging products look particularly promising CHAIhasemployedanumberofmarketinterventionstocontribute toourgoal of expandingaccesstokeycommodities EFV 400mg • At 48 weeks, 400mg was non-inferior to 600mg; lower frequency of adverse events and discontinuations (ENCORE) • TDF/3TC/EFV with 400mg may be $10-15 less than ceiling price for FDC with 600mg • Well-tolerated integrase inhibitor with high barrier to resistance; • TDF/3TC/DTG may be $10-25 less than current ceiling price for FDC with EFV 600mg • No approved generic producersto date DTG 50mg • Efficacy, safety, and high barrier to resistance make it ideal for 2L • With process chemistry improvements: • 800/100 could reduce to $220-250 at scale • Dose optimized 400/100 could reduce to $125-145 at scale DRV/r
Two emerging alternatives to TDF are also promising CHAIhasemployedanumberofmarketinterventionstocontribute toourgoal of expandingaccesstokeycommodities • Low dose and distinct metabolism expected to provide improved safety profile and lower costs • Before generic development can occur, clinical data must be generated supporting the use of TAF in the absence of ritonavir or cobicistat as part of a combination appropriate in RLS TAF • Innovator product reformulated with functional excipients to block gut metabolism of API • Dosage form containing >30% less TDF while maintaining identical systematic pharmacological and efficacy profile • Greater than 30% reduction in COGs • Potential to save $200M – $750M TDF(hx) API: Activepharmaceuticalingredient COG: Cost of goods

Bottom line: Universal coverage is affordable and ‘commoditizing retention’ will help us get there CHAIhasemployedanumberofmarketinterventionstocontribute toourgoal of expandingaccesstokeycommodities • Moretolerable and durable HIV regimens will result in fewer side effects for patients and will be more forgiving of missed doses – this will, in turn, increase patient retention and improve viral suppression • Proper patient monitoring, supported by quality laboratory services, will ensure that treatment is successfully suppressing viral load • Innovative models of care that maximize treatment compliance and patient retention will be critical Better health for patients Better treatment value Fewer new infections
