Price Tussle Starts Over $371,000 Breakthrough Cancer Drug
« on: September 12, 2018, 08:47:43 PM »
Novartis AG’s breakthrough cancer drug Kymriah has been approved in Europe. Now comes the debate about its hefty cost.

In Germany, Novartis has set a price of 320,000 euros ($371,000) that’s now subject to negotiation with authorities, Pascal Touchon, head of the drugmaker’s cell and gene therapy business, said in an interview. That’s the list price to treat a form of childhood leukemia and a type of lymphoma in adults. Similar discussions are playing out elsewhere in Europe.
