The most expensive drugs of 2016 (top 5 )
3. Cinryze
Cinryze, an injectable drug used to help prevent swelling and pain in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), cost $72,100 for a 30-day supply. The drug first won U.S. regulatory approval in 2008. Its original developer, Lev Pharmaceuticals, was bought by ViroPharma that same year. ViroPharma was subsequently acquired by Shire Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SHPG) in 2013.
Although HAE is a rare genetic disorder that affects no more than one in 10,000 people, Cinryze has been a big moneymaker for Shire. Sales for the drug in 2014 totaled $503 million and rose in 2015 to $618 million.Cinryze is on track to have an even better year in 2016: Sales during the first six months topped $337 million.
