3 Specialty Pharmacy Definition (Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy AMCP) 1. Specialty pharmaceuticals are typically large, unstable, protein-based molecules, produced through a biotechnology process and 2. Require a difficult or unusual process of delivery to the patient or 3. Require patient management prior to or following administration. High cost is not enough to define a product as a specialty medication! 3 Specialty Drug Spending to Jump 67% by Source: Express Scripts: Prescription Drug Trends Report

15 Hepatitis C Treatment based on Genotype Genotype 1 (75% of cases) Requires triple therapy Interferon + ribavirin + protease inhibitor Genotypes 2 and 3 (25% of cases) Interferon + ribavirin (no protease inhibitor) Goal of therapy: Maintain a sustained virologic response (SVR) i.e. no detectable virus in the blood 27 Hepatitis C Victrelis (boceprevir) Oral protease inhibitor 4 tablets 3 times daily with food Food enhances exposure by 65% Incivek (telaprevir) Oral protease inhibitor 2 tablets 3 times daily with food Food enhances exposure by 237% High fat meal (330%) Low fat meal (117%) 28 14
