A commitment to define and develop transparent, responsible pricing 

KaloBios’ Responsible Pricing Model:

  • Responsible Pricing = affordable for patients and payers, transparent for stakeholders and delivers a reasonable return for the company taking the risk of bringing products to patients.
  • We plan to price our products at overall cost, plus a reasonable and transparent profit margin, if and when we commercialize them.
  • In the case of benznidazole, for instance, the price will be cost plus a modest profit margin.We are not conducting original research on benznidazole and therefore do not plan to incorporate an “R&D premium” into the price.
  • We will publicly share the key elements that make up the pricing of our products.
  • We will seek input from key stakeholders on what would constitute a reasonable return.
  • We will not take arbitrary price increases on our products and will limit any increase to no more than the rate of inflation or Consumer Price Index and to no more than once a year, if at all.
  • We will not engage in aggressive or predatory pricing policies or “price-gouging.”
  • We plan to ensure patients, irrespective of their ability to pay, will have access to benznidazole, if and when KaloBios commercializes the product for Chagas disease in the United States.
  • In developing countries, we plan to make benznidazole available at, or near cost and plan to work with partners on creating access programs to ensure patients in need receive the medication.
