Improving Product Medical Efficiency

Improving medical efficiency by providing innovative drugs that contribute to healthcare is a goal that PharmaEssentia strives to achieve. We have completed a comprehensive economic evaluation, including cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and cost-benefit analysis, for BESREMi® upon its launch in Europe, to analyze the product's impact on medical costs. BESREMi® has achieved a coverage rate of 100% and has already been included in the ELN guidelines in 2021. As for the US market, BESREMi® is the first interferon approved by the US FDA for the treatment of PV, a rare blood disorder, and is eligible for orphan drug licenses. It has also been included in the NCCN guidelines for PV treatment. BESREMi® can be used as a suggested treatment for PV in adults, regardless of previous treatment or high-risk population status. The guidelines also include details on recommendations, providing comprehensive advice for medical practitioners on diagnosis, treatment, and patient management. We are actively collecting relevant data as the basis for future medical technology evaluations to certify the medical value of BESREMi®.

Fair and Reasonable Pricing

When pricing our drugs, patient interests are our top priority. We take into consideration various factors, such as the investment in research and development, the number of patients who would benefit from the treatment during the patent period, the pricing of competing products, expected profits, third-party insurance claims, and health insurance coverage provided by regulatory authorities. We then use these factors to determine a fair price, taking into account the ability of different countries to afford the medication, their level of economic development, and the cost of manufacturing the drug. We also refer to the WHO Guideline on Country Pharmaceutical Pricing Policiespublished by the World Health Organization to determine reasonable and fair drug prices.

PharmaEssentia not only stops at the development of new drugs but takes concrete action to improve patient care throughout their treatment.。

Our company strictly adheres to all applicable industry regulations and stipulated provisions in marketing and sales, ensuring that all relevant personnel receive appropriate training and comply with ethical standards. In 2022, there were no violations of any marketing and communications-related regulations, and the company adhered to ethical pharmaceutical marketing practices.
