A draft evidence report from Boston, USA-based watchdog the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) suggests a cost-effective price of up to $1.9 million for new sickle cell disease (SCD) therapies.
The research focuses on two experimental gene therapies - exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel), from Swiss gene editing specialist CRISPR Therapeutics (Nasdaq: CRSP) and partner Vertex Pharmaceutical (Nasdaq: VRTX), and lovotibeglogene autotemcel (lovo-cel), from bluebird bio (Nasdaq: BLUE).
The former has already been submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration for regulatory consideration, while bluebird is expected to submit its option to the US regulator imminently.
