Introduction VENTAVIS 10 microgram/ml nebuliser solution B/30 x 1 ml (CIP code: 375 480-5) B/30 x 2 ml (CIP code: 564 920-2) Posted on Jan 05 2011 Active substance (DCI) iloprost 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.

1/2

Actual 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. The median survival time for patients with PAH in functional class III receiving symptomatic treatment is around 2.5 years.   All treatments for PAH are in the symptomatic category. The efficacy/adverse effects ratio is moderate. In practice, prostacyclins are used as second-line treatment. No public health benefit is expected.   The actual benefit is moderate.   Improvement in actual benefit (IAB) The Transparency Committee considers that the proprietary drug VENTAVIS provides a minor improvement in actual benefit (IAB IV) in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension for patients in functional class III.                       Medical, Economic and Public Health Assessment Division
