. 为扩大市场,百健(BIIB.US)将阿尔茨海默病药物价格减半
智通财经APP获悉,百健 (NASDAQ:BIIB)周一表示,将把阿尔茨海默病药物Aduhelm的价格降低约50%,以帮助该药物创造更大的市场。
百健称,新价格意味着每位患者每年的费用为2.82万美元。
百健相信,随着保险覆盖范围的扩大,以及诊断和治疗中心使用Aduhelm,到2022年大约有5万名患者可能会开始使用该药物进行治疗。
百健一直寄希望于Aduhelm,以缓冲其主要营收来源面临日益激烈的竞争所带来的冲击,但该药物的推广速度较慢,因为多家商业保险公司正在等待美国联邦医疗保险(Medicare)的进一步指导,然后才会将该药纳入承保范围。
截至发稿,百健盘前涨2.35%,报243.00美元。
