U.S. officials have approved the costliest medicine in history – a $2.1-million gene therapy that treats a rare childhood disease. Gene therapy is a medical treatment in which healthy genetic material is introduced into cells to replace abnormal genes. Over time, the disease can make it impossible for the child to move, swallow or breathe. The disease affects about 1 in 10,000 births. In 90 percent of cases, the condition causes death or the need for permanent breathing assistance by age two. The disease is the leading cause of genetic infant death. The approval covers babies with the deadliest kind of the disease as well as those with forms that develop more slowly over time. The treatment represents a new kind of "transformational medicine" that opens the door to future gene therapies. The $2.1-million therapy was about 50 percent less than other treatments that can be ongoing for years. It will let health insurance companies break up the cost in payments of $425,000 over five years. It also plans to give money back if the treatment does not work. The FDA said the drug's safety had been tested in completed and ongoing trials involving 36 patients between the ages of two weeks and eight months. Most evidence of the treatment's effectiveness is based on the ongoing trials. Those who got the treatment very early in life did the best. But the medicine was not able to correct damage already done. While it is too early to know how long the effectiveness of the treatment will last, some doctors have hope that it could last a lifetime.
