REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE

  • Plasma-derived medicines (PDMPs) are essential for some 300,000 patients across the EU who rely on these therapies every day to treat a variety of rare, chronic, and life threatening conditions. Without these treatments, many patients would have a substantially diminished quality of life, and some may not survive.
  • PDMPs are a finite resource because the manufacture of these medicines is dependent on the amounts of human plasma collected.
  • Using the AIFA CTS Innovation Algorithm and the WHO Framework for Appropriate Medical Use, a broad range of Key Opinion leaders, in the field of immunology, neurology, rheumatology and dermatology, debated about the appropriate use of Immunoglobulins for their patients. The discussion
    was concluded in a Green Paper developed by Vintura.
