  • Orphan Drug Letters
    November 18, 2010 Kent Lieginger Senior Vice President, Managed Care and Customer Operations Genentech 1 DNA Way South San Franciso, CA 94080 Dear Dr. Lieginger: We are writing on behalf of a broad coalition of hospitals participating in the federal 340B drug discount program. We have been advised that Genentech has begun to withhold 340B pricing for orphan drugs purchased by a subset of our membership, primarily children’s and rural hospitals. We are aware that, under the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), Congress established a statutory exclusion with respect to orphan drugs purchased by hospitals specifically added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to the 340B program under the Public Health Service Act, including freestanding cancer hospitals, children’s hospitals, sole community rural referral centers, and critical access hospitals. 1 However, we are deeply concerned with Genentech’s broad interpretation of the orphan drug exclusion, which Genentech has stated extends to all drugs that have been designated “orphan” by the FDA, regardless of the intended use of the drugs. We believe that, absent guidance from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) regarding the scope of the orphan drug exclusion, it is premature to withhold 340B pricing on orphan drugs. Accordingly, we request that Genentech resume its sale of orphan drugs to hospitals identified in PPACA at 340B prices until directed otherwise by HRSA. We understand that several manufacturers have decided to delay implementation until they receive further guidance from the government and ask that you follow their lead. Our concerns regarding your company’s interpretation are two-fold.

    Ultragenyx Announces Emil D. Kakkis, M.D., Ph.D. as Recipient of BIO’s 2019 Henri A. Termeer Biotechnology Visionary Award May 29, 2019 NOVATO, Calif., May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: RARE), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel products for serious rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases, today announced that the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) has awarded this year’s Henri A. Termeer Biotechnology Visionary Award to Emil D. Kakkis, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, President and founder of Ultragenyx. The award, which will be presented to Dr. Kakkis on June 5 during the BIO 2019 International Convention keynote session, recognizes Dr. Kakkis’ transformative work to accelerate research and development of novel treatments for rare diseases. “Henri Termeer was a pioneer who worked relentlessly to do what many thought was impossible and bring therapies to patients with rare diseases,” said Dr. Kakkis. “I am deeply honored to receive this award from BIO.” “Dr. Kakkis’ innovative work has pushed the boundaries of our knowledge in rare diseases and through his efforts our industry better prioritizes treatments for rare and ultra-rare diseases and understands the unique needs of clinical trials in this category,” said Jim Greenwood, President and CEO of BIO. “His contributions to the study of rare diseases have been monumental for patients and families, and we’re looking forward to presenting him with this well-deserved honor at BIO 2019.” Over the last 25 years, Dr. Kakkis has spearheaded the development of many rare disease treatments, including an enzyme replacement therapy for the rare and debilitating disorder, mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I), which was approved by the FDA in 2003.

Summary Since its initial discovery as a genetic reprogramming tool in 2012, CRISPR has widely been regarded as a breakthrough scientific discovery and quickly become one of the hottest new biotechnologies in the industry. However, the CRISPR therapeutics market is still in early stages, with leading therapies only just reaching human clinical trials. Furthermore, the industry is highly defended by IP, and currently addresses a narrow set of indications. Top companies including Beam Therapeutics, Editas Medicine, and Prime Medicine have been founded by the same scientists, and have formed a highly collaborative moat. Remaining companies have partnered with large pharmaceutical companies to fund operations. The future of CRISPR therapeutics development is dependent on technological advances in delivery methods and editing safety and granularity.
