New York Times, July 2008 - Cost effectiveness of Avastin - “It’s absolutely critical that we start having a public
discussion,” said Barbara Brenner, executive director of Breast Cancer Action, an advocacy group. “I think of Avastin
as a model that is showing us where the problem is.”a
Bloomberg News, June 2009 - “Eli Lilly & Co.’s tumor-fighter Erbitux doesn’t prolong lung cancer patients’ lives
enough to justify its $80,000 cost, U.S. scientists said in commentary published today. Erbitux added to other cancer
drugs extends survival about 1.2 months more than chemotherapy alone, making the price too high for a ‘marginal
benefit,’ commentary in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute said”b
Medscape, May 2009 - “Ixabepilone (Ixempra) for metastatic breast cancer is an example of a cancer drug that adds
‘a small benefit at a high cost,’ says an editorial in the May 1 edition of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The editorial
accompanies a new cost-efficacy study in the same issue of the journal that found that the addition of ixabepilone to
capecitabine (Xeloda) adds about $31,000 to the overall medical costs of metastatic breast cancer while providing
about 1 more month of ‘quality-adjusted’ survival”c
The Independent, August 2008 - “The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) issued draft
guidance rejecting the drugs Sutent (sunitinib), Avastin (bevacizumab), Nexavar (sorafenib) and Torisel
(temsirolimus)”
“The guidance rejects the drugs because they are not cost effective”d
The Wall Street Journal, March 2009 - “Expert advisers in the U.K. are sticking with their view that
GlaxoSmithKline’s Tykerb is too costly to justify routine use in women with advanced breast cancer. The British
government’s National Institute for Health Effectiveness, or NICE, put out a final appraisal that said Tykerb hadn’t
‘demonstrated that it was cost effective’ in comparison with other treatments. It put forth a similar view last summer”e

3 … and pay for performance arrangements
Drug companies are increasingly offering discounts to insurers based on drug performance
rather than quantity of drug utilized1
In 2007, after the NHS in Britain decided not to pay for the cancer drug Velcade, Johnson &
Johnson offered a money-back guarantee if Velcade failed to reduce tumors by at least 25%b,c
• Through this Pay for Performance strategy, the NHS designated Velcade as cost-effective for
up to four cycles of treatmentc
In 2007, United Healthcare entered into a risk sharing agreement with Genomic Health. The
company sells Oncotype DX®, a USD 3,460 genetic test that determines whether an early-stage
breast cancer patient would benefit from chemotherapyc
• United Healthcare agreed to pay for the test for 18 months, on grounds that it would seek a
price negotiation if the test failed to have the intended medical impactc
In 2009, in response to a negative UK NICE appraisal, Merck offered to refund the primary care
cost of its drug Erbitux, if a patient did not respond within 6 weeksd
In 2009, when Tarceva was declared cost ineffective by NICE, Roche offered a rebate for the cost
difference between Tarceva and the incumbent NSCLC treatmentd
Note: 1Pay for Performance is more popular in Europe.US, insurers have less leverage with drug makers because of tough state regulations and marketplace pressures
