The2nd HitHypothesis

upon trigger events and ongoing endothelial cell injury inparticular due to continuous amplification of the comple-ment AP. Complement blockade does not alter the geneticpredisposition but increases the threshold for TMA evolve-ment. Therefore, blocking complement activation is the key toarrest the progression of TMA (►Fig. 2).

Pathophysiology within the ThromboticMicroangiopathy Spectrum

Genetic Predisposition and AutoimmunePredispositionSystematic genetic and autoantibody screening has revealed apivotal role for complement dysregulation in patients within

the more and more recognized spectrum of TMAs. Mutationsin complement regulators or activators as well as auto-anti-bodies against CFH-Ab have been found in 34 to 53% and 3 to25% of patients with aHUS, respectively.2,51–55 Of note, in acohort of aHUS patients in India, CFH-Ab HUSwas detected in56%.56 A mutation or CFH antibodies were detected in 71% offamilial and in 66% of sporadic cases.52 Complement alter-ationswere also detected in 29% of patients with de novo HUSpost kidney transplantation,57 in 68% with recurrent HUSafter kidney transplantation58 and in one patient with severeTMA and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR),59 in 86%(18/21) patients with pregnancy-associated HUS,60 in threeof seven patients with cobalamin C deficiency,61–63 in three(CFH-Ab) and six (heterozygous CFHR1 del) of nine patientswith TMA associated with stem cell transplantation(SCT).64,65 Variants in CFH were found in four patients withticlopidine associated TTP66 and one patient suffering fromTMA associated with malignant hypertension.67 An MCPmutation was detected in a child with TMA following treat-ment with cisplatin and carboplatin.68

Several glomerulopathies, such as SLE,69 immunoglobulinA (IgA) nephropathy,70 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS),71,72membranous nephropathy (MN),73 andmembra-noproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN)74 as well as vas-culitides, especially antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV),75 coexist with TMA.

Recent analysis of ADAMTS13 activity and sequencing ofADAMTS13 in patients with aHUS showed a decreasedADAMTS13 activity in 50% patients and variations inADAMTS13 gene in up to 80% (21/29 patients).47 Screening85 genes of the complement and coagulation systems in 36patients with aHUS revealed 42 variants, including 4 variantsin PLG (encoding plasminogen)46 (►Table 1).

While the exact mechanism is still unclear, the link ofdiacylglycerol kinase (DGKE) and complement is so far onlyvaguely identified, suggesting a contribution of noncomple-ment pathways to TMA pathogenesis. DGKE, encoding diac-ylglycerol kinase ε, a protein involved in cell metabolism, wasrecently detected in patients with disease manifestationyounger than 1 year.19 All mutations and risk alleles altering

Fig. 2 Multiple hit hypothesis. TMA disease onset is the consequence of the combination of genetic predisposition and trigger factors/conditions.Predisposition (genetic, autoimmune, or unknown host factors) can be mild or severe, as reviewed by de Cordoba et al.95 Treatment witheculizumab (C5 inhibition) does not alter the predisposition but increases the threshold for TMA onset (indicated by arrow). Trigger factors/conditions range from mild to severe and can occur alone or in combination. Examples for trigger factors include infections, pregnancy,transplantation, metabolic disease, and other glomerulopathies. TMA, thrombotic microangiopathy.

Fig. 1 TMA pathogenesis. The complement, inflammatory, andcoagulation systems interact closely in maintaining the integrity of theendothelial lineage of the microvasculature. Disruption of the physi-ological balance of this immunothrombotic homeostasis leads to TMA.Dashed arrow indicates not well understood interaction. 1. Comple-ment system, 2. Endothelial cells, 3. Inflammation and neutrophils, 4.Coagulation and platelets, 5. Neutrophil extracellular traps, and 6.Microparticles originating from leukocytes, platelets, or endothelialcells.

Enabling Diagnostic and TherapeuticSchedules in Developing Countries

As previously mentioned, the costs of diagnostic testing for asingle case of aHUS (!$10,000), for example, greatly exceedsannual incomes in developing countries. The costs for therecommended therapy (more than $27,000 for the first 4weekly 300 mg doses) merely adds to exacerbate unafford-ability in these regions.

The current recommendations for diagnosis and therapyofaHUS are therefore simply not feasible for patients living indeveloping countries. This would account for nearly 80% of allhuman beings.66 From that perspective, international coop-erations facilitating a proper diagnostic work-up in a strin-gent and cost-efficient manner are indispensable fordiagnosis, and more so with regard to therapy, of manyindividuals suffering from these serious and life-threateningdiseases. This should be embedded in scientifically encour-aged cooperations between developing and so called devel-oped countries.

The first and deciding step in the diagnostic work-up of apatient with HUS is to exclude Stx-induced HUS. Even thiscritical diagnostic step is not possible for most patients indeveloping countries. Together with the exclusion of second-ary HUS forms69 (including cobalamin deficiency and diac-ylglycerol kinase ε [DGKE] HUS which can be suspectedclinically), the next essential diagnostic tests are those forADAMTS13 activity68,69 and testing for CFH-Ab.70

Thus, as a first step of cooperation, the HUS study group,Innsbruck, provided Stx stool ELISA test kits for the Center forPediatric Nephrology and Transplantation, Cairo University,for a project we began in 2011. From all patients presenting

with suspected HUS, serum, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) plasma and citrate plasma samples were collectedbefore initiating therapy and stored at "80°C. All patientswith a positive stool in the Stx ELISA were excluded fromfurther diagnostic work-up unless they presented as recur-rent cases. From all other patients, the stored samples weresent to the German–Austrian HUS study group center atInnsbruck Medical University for further work-up. As therapid diagnosis of CFH-Ab HUS has a direct impact on furthertreatment strategies, screening for CFH-Ab, and ADAMTS13activity was performed for all included patients as the firststep of complement diagnostics. CFH-Ab patients were notincluded for a further genetic work-up; nevertheless, DNAwas extracted and stored. Altogether, samples from 10 pa-tients with acute D" HUS patients (two males, eight females)seen at the Center for Pediatric Nephrology and Transplanta-tion, Cairo University during the years 2011 to 2012, weresent to InnsbruckMedical University, Austria. In two patients,CFH-Abwas detected. Although 50% of patients showed signsof decreased ADAMTS13 activity, no ADAMTS13 levels below10%, indicating TTP, were detected. In addition, ADAMTS13inhibitors were not detected. The decrease in ADAMTS13activitymight be a secondary phenomenon of the thromboticmicroangiopathy.36 The complement genetic analysis of thesepatients are ongoing and yet not completed.

Although treatment recommendations for patients withCFH-Ab–associated aHUS had been received from InnsbruckMedical University, the delay in sending samples (up to 6months) and receiving results (for CFH-Ab testing !2 weeks,genetics still pending), represented an obstacle toward theirapplication. Thus, all patients received a similar protocol of PE,and symptomatic therapy as required (e.g., antihypertensives,

World's most expensive drug - which costs up to $700,000 peryear - too expensive, Canada saysBy Tom Blackwell

Canada's drug-price regulator has taken the rare step of calling a hearing into what is considered the world's mostexpensive prescription medicine, accusing its manufacturer of exceeding the permissible price cap.

The yearly cost per patient of as much as $700,000 is even more than the manufacturer, Alexion Pharmaceutical,charges in the United States, which typically has the steepest prices globally, says the Patented Medicines PriceReview Board (PMPRB).

Soliris is a breakthrough, potentially lifesaving treatment for two rare blood diseases, affecting about 180 patients inCanada.

The board, which has not held an excessive-price hearing since 2012, said it had demanded the U.S.-based firmlower the price and pay back revenue it made above the cap. It refused both requests, according to formal allegationsissued by board staff.

Alexion continues to sell Soliris to Canadians at the highest international price among the comparatorcountries

Canada's drug-price regulator has taken the rare step of calling a hearing into what is considered the world's mostexpensive prescription medicine, accusing its manufacturer of exceeding the permissible price cap.

The yearly cost per patient of as much as $700,000 is even more than the manufacturer, Alexion Pharmaceutical,charges in the United States, which typically has the steepest prices globally, says the Patented Medicines PriceReview Board (PMPRB).

Soliris is a breakthrough, potentially lifesaving treatment for two rare blood diseases, affecting about 180 patients inCanada.

The board, which has not held an excessive-price hearing since 2012, said it had demanded the U.S.-based firmlower the price and pay back revenue it made above the cap. It refused both requests, according to formal allegationsissued by board staff.
