Introduction REVATIO 20 mg, film-coated tablets B/90 (CIP code: 370 240-6) Posted on Jan 05 2011 Active substance (DCI) sildenafil Pneumologie - Mise au point Progrès thérapeutique : – important pour FLOLAN ; – modéré pour TRACLEER ; – mineur pour ADCIRCA, REMODULIN, REVATIO, VENTAVIS et VOLIBRIS Les médicaments de l’hypertension artérielle pulmonaire (HTAP) n'apportent qu'un bénéfice symptomatique, et celui-ci est modeste. FLOLAN (époprosténol) est le seul ayant montré une augmentation de la survie. Son rapport efficacité/effets indésirables est donc important ; il est modéré pour les autres médicaments. Il s’agit de médicaments de première intention, excepté REMODULIN et VENTAVIS, qui sont utilisés en deuxième intention. N.B. – THELIN a été retiré du marché en raison de son risque d'atteinte hépatique sévère.

Actual clinical benefit PAH is a rare pulmonary condition that affects life expectancy. It is characterised by gradual blocking of the small pulmonary arteries, leading to a gradual increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and right cardiac insufficiency. PAH is defined by an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) measured by right cardiac catheterisation which is equal to or greater than 25 mmHg at rest, with no increase in pulmonary capillary pressure. Asthenia, dyspnoea, chest pain and loss of consciousness are the most frequent clinical signs. Median survival under symptomatic treatment is around 2.5 years for patients with functional class III PAH and 4.8 years for those with functional class II PAH.   All treatments for PAH are in the symptomatic category. The efficacy/adverse effects ratio is moderate. This medicinal product is a first-line therapy.   No public health benefit is expected.   The actual clinical benefit is moderate.   Improvement in actual clinical benefit (IAB) The Transparency Committee considers that the proprietary drug REVATIO provides a minor improvement in actual clinical benefit (IAB IV) in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, or pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with systemic collagen disease, for patients in functional class II or III.   The Transparency Committee expresses the wish, at the request of the Directorate General for Health, that proprietary drugs administered per os route be made available for delivery on retail pharmacies.                       Medical, Economic and Public Health Assessment Division
