CSL Behring
announced the results of a cost-effectiveness analysis showing that on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks with Berinert®, C1 Esterase Inhibitor (Human), provides cost savings to payers when compared with the use of two other therapies approved in the U.S. for the acute treatment of HAE. The data were presented at the 2013 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting. The cost study, which compared Berinert to Firazyr® and Kalbitor™, analyzed differential dosing and administration costs indirectly using current, publically available prices. Results were weighted by typical re-dosing frequencies. The study included no head-to-head comparison of product efficacy or safety.

A high level of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is achievable for patients managing hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare and serious genetic disorder, when effective treatment such as C1-inhibitor (INH) concentrate is available, according to a prospective patient assessment published recently in Allergy & Asthma Proceedings, the official journal of Regional, State & Local Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Societies (RSLAAIS) and the American Association of Certified Allergists (AACA). More than half of the HAE patients participating in the assessment reported feeling somewhat or much better with the availability of C1-INH concentrate, and more than 80 percent of participants indicated a more optimistic outlook on the future.
