3rd December every year is observed as UN-designated International Day for persons with disabilities. The observance of the Day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights, and well-being of persons with disabilities. This year's theme is "not all disabilities are visible" since some of the disabilities are non-visible but they cause significant challenges for people living with such conditions for day-to-day participation in society.
Such non-visible disabilities include some of the rare blood disorders such as Thalassemia, Aplastic Anemia, Sickle cell Anemia, Fanconi Anemia, Hemophilia, and so on. The Rights of People with Disability Bill passed by the Parliament of India in December 2016 included newer disabilities like blood disorders sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and hemophilia. Today, on International Day of Disabled Persons, TheHealthSite spoke to Dr. Sunil Bhat, Director and Clinical Lead, Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Blood & Marrow Transplantation, Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Centre, Narayana Health City, to discuss the condition and understand the ways one can manage it.
In India, the burden of blood disorders and blood cancer is huge. India is even called as Thalassemia capital of the world with over 10,000 new cases every year. Thalassemia is a disabling condition not just because of chronic anemia but other co-morbidities like organ damage, bone damage, and cardiac complications.
People with thalassemia may need lifelong blood transfusions and other therapies (like iron removal medications). With the advances in the medical field, blood stem cell transplant plays an important role in the treatment of various blood disorders like thalassemia, aplastic anemia, and blood cancers as well. For a blood stem cell transplant to be deemed successful, the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) of the donor should match the antigens present in the cells of the patient. Only 30% of the patients find a matching donor in the family and the rest 70% depending on an unrelated donor. Such unrelated donors are being registered by stem cell registries like DKMS BMST Foundation India.
However, despite such a huge disease burden, Indian stem cell donors only form a tiny fraction, about 0.04% of the total listed unrelated donors globally. The main reason is the lack of awareness and prevailing myths around the stem cell donation process deny many patients a second chance at their lives in the country. It is high time that healthy people understand blood stem cell donation is a safe process and come forward to register as a donor. There is only a 1 in a million chance that someone comes as a match for a patient!

PharmaEssentia’s BESREMi (ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft) Now Available for the Treatment of People With Polycythemia Vera in the United States -…
By daniellenierenberg
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PharmaEssentia USA Corporation, a subsidiary of PharmaEssentia Corporation (TPEx:6446), a global biopharmaceutical innovator based in Taiwan leveraging deep expertise and proven scientific principles to deliver new biologics in hematology and oncology, today announced that BESREMi (ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft) is now commercially available in the U.S. to eligible patients with polycythemia vera (PV). BESREMi was approved by the FDA in November as the only interferon for adults with polycythemia vera. BESREMi was approved with a boxed warning for risk of serious disorders including aggravation of neuropsychiatric, autoimmune, ischemic and infectious disorders.
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the treatment of PV. Our team is delivering on our goal to bring an innovative solution that may help more people manage not only the symptoms of PV, but target the disease itself to gain durable control with potential to reduce progression over time, said Meredith Manning, U.S. General Manager. We look forward to working closely with U.S. providers to raise awareness of this therapy and help advance treatment goals.
PharmaEssentia SOURCE Now Available to Support People with PV in the U.S.
With the commercial availability of BESREMi, PharmaEssentia is also launching a comprehensive patient support program, which can be found at http://www.pharmaessentiaSOURCE.com.
The SOURCE program is available for patients prescribed BESREMi and offers a full suite of services designed to help patients start and stay on therapy. Services include insurance navigation support, titration and injection training, and ongoing adherence guidance. The program also includes physician resources, including guides to help patients get started on treatment and ordering processes.
As part of this program, PharmaEssentia will help patients with financial barriers to starting therapy. The company is offering co-pay and co-insurance programs to assist eligible patients who experience financial need. Programs include a $0 copay card for commercially insured patients, temporary product supply in case of insurance delays and/or gaps in coverage, free drug for the uninsured and under-insured as well as assistance identifying additional support as needed.
Weve designed SOURCE with active input from the PV community to simplify the process for appropriate patients to initiate and maintain access to BESREMi and to benefit from its effects over the long-term, added Manning. Our goal is to ensure that any appropriate person with PV who is prescribed BESREMi is able to receive the therapy.
About Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a cancer originating from a disease-initiating stem cell in the bone marrow resulting in a chronic increase of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. PV may result in cardiovascular complications such as thrombosis and embolism, and often transforms to secondary myelofibrosis or leukemia. While the molecular mechanism underlying PV is still subject of intense research, current results point to a set of acquired mutations, the most important being a mutant form of JAK2.1
About BESREMi
BESREMi is an innovative monopegylated, long-acting interferon. With its unique pegylation technology, BESREMi has a long duration of activity in the body and is aimed to be administered once every two weeks (or every four weeks with hematological stability for at least one year), allowing flexible dosing that helps meet the individual needs of patients. After one year, patients with stable complete hematologic response (CHR) can be treated with BESREMi every four weeks.
BESREMi has orphan drug designation for treatment of PV in the United States. The product was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2019 and has received approval in Taiwan and South Korea. BESREMi was invented and is manufactured by PharmaEssentia.

It is imperative to reduce the cost of cancer treatment: Ramesh Ramadurai, MD, 3M India – ETHealthworld.com
By daniellenierenberg
Shahid Akhter, editor, ETHealthworld, spoke to Ramesh Ramadurai, MD, 3M India, to know more 3M collaborations that can improve and impact cancer care, besides cutting down on the costs in a big way.
How has the technological and infrastructural facilities impacted Bone Marrow Transplantation in India ?Every year nearly 20,000 Indian patients, including many children, who suffer from blood and solid cancers require bone marrow transplantation (BMT). However, only 2,000 of these patients are fortunate enough to receive this therapy, as the cost of bone marrow transplantation can vary from INR 10 Lakhs to 30 Lakhs. It is imperative to reduce the cost of cancer treatment while maintaining a stringent focus on sterilization and quality. It is indeed the need of the hour for us to address this issue.
What are the various technological advancement required for the better functioning of the facilities?Despite the increasing demand for bone marrow transplantation, the number of bone marrow doners in India is astonishingly low. India conducts stem cell transplant procedure for approximately 2,000 every year, while around 80,000 to 100,000 annual transplants are required to tackle the burden of blood cancers and fatal blood disorders. Finding a matching donor is very difficult. This option is exercised only after the alternative options have failed.
India has only about 400,000 donors registered on the bone marrow registry. Chances of finding a donor match are as low as 10% to 15% compared to the West where the chances of matching are as high as 60% to 70% due to higher rates of donations.
What are the major and significant developments in treating bone marrow cancer in the country?A bone marrow registry collects information on individuals willing and able to donate bone marrow and gathers the donor information into a database. In India, organisations like Datri are helping to create a pool of donors to help people who do not have blood-related donors by finding an unrelated match for life-saving treatment.
Infusion of a memory cell is another advancement. This involves taking out the cells, sorting the good cells and the memory cells or the fighting cells, which can fight infections, sorting them out, capturing them and putting them back into the body after giving the requisite chemotherapy. This is also called T-cell depletion with memory cell infusion. It is now available in India and is affordable.
Through this partnership with United Way Bengaluru and Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SSCHRC), how does 3M aim to foster accessibility for people from different sections of the society in treating cancer. 3M India was brought into the SSCHRC family through United Way of Bengaluru, and this is our second round of engagement with the hospital. Last year, 3M India had donated equipment for cancer research and diagnostics like the Sanger sequencer and QPCR, made enhancements to the childrens play area at the long-stay Lakshmi Childrens center with child-friendly wall graphics, and provided kitchen utensils and cooking counters for the resident families of paediatric cancer patients.
We have donated several critical equipments for the research labs which contribute to the successful treatment of the BMT patients. As on date the BMT unit at SSCHRC has treated and discharged 5 patients and currently 4 are undergoing treatment. This wing of the hospital is accessible by few staff nurses and specialists like Dr K N Nataraj who is the Chief of Adult and Paediatric Haematology at the hospital. For a successful bone marrow transplantation, there are several requisites, some of which include, successful donor matching, extremely technique-sensitive harvesting and transplantation processes and robust infection control. With this essential, life-saving equipment, the cost of the treatment will reduce to approximately 50% (between Rs 8-12 Lacs as against the actual cost of Rs 15- 30 lacs) and help the hospital treat many more cancer patients.
How do 3M India and Sri Shankara Hospital plan to take this initiative ahead in the future for the growth and enhancement of bone marrow transplantation in the facility? It is matter of pride for 3M India and United Way of Bengaluru that we are associated with SSCHRC, an institution at the forefront of providing comprehensive cancer treatment to the needy, through CSR interventions.
By complying with the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) Guidelines, the BMT Centre will be a one-of-a-kind medical facility where people of all economic status can receive treatment. Being a growing facility, the hospital is committed to continuing its responsibility towards expansion of multiple hospital beds and medical care. We are inspired by the commitment of the doctors and Sri Shankara Board of Trustees, led by Dr. B.S. Srinath and other dedicated professionals who developed a multifaceted approach to establishment a state of the art, affordable cancer hospital that is accessible to all irrespective of caste, creed, religion, gender or socioeconomic status.

Polymyositis Overview
Polymyositis is a type of inflammatory myopathy, which refers to a group of muscle diseases characterized by chronic muscle inflammation and weakness. Polymyositis (PM), an autoimmune disorder, develops due to abnormal activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD8 cells) and macrophages against muscular antigens as well as the strong extrafusal muscular expression of major histocompatibility complex 1 causing damage to the endomysium of skeletal muscles. Polymyositis develops gradually over time, and it rarely affects persons younger than age 18.
