METHOD: The 2008 budget impact was calculated by triangulating information derived from multiple Belgian data sources. The 2008-2013 budget impact analysis was based on three scenarios reflecting different levels of growth in the number of registered orphan drugs in the European Union, the number of drugs reimbursed in Belgium, and the average annual cost per patient per drug in Belgium. RESULTS: The orphan drug budget impact amounted to euro66.2 million (or 5% of the Belgian hospital drug budget) in 2008. The impact would increase to euro130-204 million in 2013, depending on the scenario. CONCLUSIONS: This static analysis measured orphan drug costs only, assuming that other components of health expenditure do not change over time. The analysis showed that the budget impact of orphan drugs in Belgium is substantial and rising, thereby putting pressure on total drug expenditure. Policy options to address the rising budget impact include pricing linked to return on investment, risk-sharing arrangements and re-appraisal of orphan drug status if additional indications are approved.

METHODS: Information was derived from the international literature, analysis of legal texts, and a survey completed by national experts. RESULTS: These countries adopted varying approaches towards regulating rare disease and orphan drug markets and, hence, the availability, pricing and reimbursement of orphan drugs vary between countries. Strategies to keep down prices include public procurement in Sweden, profit controls in the United Kingdom, and price comparisons with other countries. To gain reimbursement, the cost-effectiveness and/or budget impact of orphan drugs is considered in some countries. Other societal considerations, such as whether the drug treats a life-threatening disease, are sometimes taken into account. CONCLUSIONS: Extensive government intervention exists in rare disease and orphan drug markets in the countries studied. Our recommendations are to define priorities for research on rare diseases and orphan drugs at the European level, to set up disease and patient registries with a view to investigating the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of orphan drugs, to assess the profitability of orphan drugs, and to take into account societal considerations when evaluating orphan drugs.
