This is the new edition of Pharma Facts (Farmafeiten), an overview of

information about pharmaceutical care in the Netherlands and the role

in this of innovative medicines. A number of improvements have been

implemented since the last edition: new information, shorter texts and

clearer illustrations. Based on reader reactions, it has been decided to

bring out a printed edition this year too, although all the illustrations

can also be found online in the Feitenzaal of our virtual Farmahuis

(www.farmahuis.nl). It is possible to download these, so you can use the

illustrations for your own presentations, printed material or website.

If during the course of the year new information becomes available,

this will be included there immediately.

This printed edition of Pharma Facts is also available in Dutch. Do you

have suggestions for further improvements or any observations or

remarks? Then do please let us know ([email protected]). We would be

glad to benefit from them.

Preface

Nefarma, the association for innovative medicines

in The Netherlands, represents pharmaceutical

companies engaged in the development and

marketing of new and innovative medicines. These

are medicines that have been developed in response

to new insights in the treatments of diseases and

medical conditions for which there were previously

no therapeutic options.

Thanks to research and the innovations coming out of it,

we possess many new medicines and treatment methods.

INNOVATION

Worldwide, biopharma companies have over 5400 new medical products in development, including many new drugs for rare diseases. Every year, an average of 140 such products are added to these.

INNOVATION IS PROCEEDING

INNOVATION

During the last 20 years, more new medicines have come into existence than previously. The average increased from 20 to 27 registrations of drugs with a new active constituent.

INNOVATION

The status of drug development for several diseases.

PREVENTION, TREATMENT & CUREComplete cures are sometimes possible using medicines. Patients also remain alive more frequently with an acceptable quality of life without feeling ill. In many areas a lot has already been achieved, but it is still important to maintain full progress on innovation of medicines.

INNOVATION

INCREASE IN TURNOVER OF BIOLOGICAL MEDICINESThe turnover figures from recent years show clearly that the number of biotech products is gaining an ever-larger proportion of the total number of medici-nes arriving on the Dutch market.

Millions of patients currently profit from biological medicines that are based on human or animal proteins, which are manufactured in mi-cro-organisms. In recent years it has become obvious that the number of biological medicines is becoming an increasingly larger proportion of the total.

The desired breakthrough against Alzheimer disease is still awaited. The development of 101 hopeful potential medicines had to be stopped between 1998 and 2011. But the researchers keep going! Pharmaceu-tical companies manufacturers still have, in total, over 70 potential treatments in the pipeline.

INNOVATION

DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM AIDS IN THE NETHERLANDSThrough improved medicines, the patients do not become so ill and they remain alive longer. The medicines have in the meantime been improved so that they only need to be taken once a day.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

MEDICINES IN RESEARCH PHASE1,307 medicines in the test phase have obtained a ‘designa-tion as orphan drug’ since 2000 in Europe. To date around 10 per cent of these have appeared on the market. Many hundreds of potential orphan drugs are therefore still in the pipeline or have fallen by the wayside in the process.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In total, 93 orphan drugs for various rare conditions have appeared on the European market in recent years.

COSTS AND REVENUES

VOLUME AND TURNOVERThe total use of prescription drugs in the Netherlands is increasing every year, partly due to the ageing population. Despite this volume growth, manufacturers’ total earnings are falling. Manufacturers of branded or trademarked drugs have experienced a decrease in both their turnover and volume in recent years. For ge-neric drugs, the volume is growing, but the turnover remains more or less stable.
