Orchard’s recent reveal of Lenmeldy’s $4.25 million price tag has sparked conversations about the affordability of groundbreaking gene therapies. While Lenmeldy stands as the most expensive one-time gene therapy, it’s important to broaden our view beyond headline figures. Lesser-known treatments like Zokinvy and Myalept, which are administered monthly, quietly accumulate costs that rival or exceed $5 million per patient over a relatively short span of around 6.5 years. This disparity highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of gene therapy pricing and economics.

The complexity of gene therapy costs extends beyond one-time dosing. Therapies like Krystal’s EB product require repeated doses, challenging conventional cost-effectiveness models. Additionally, certain CAR-T therapies allow for redosing, further complicating cost projections and reimbursement strategies. These nuances underscore the importance of adopting comprehensive approaches to evaluate the true impact of gene therapies on both financial sustainability and patient outcomes.
