INTRODUCTION Acknowledgments
Alberta Health and Wellness acknowledges the important role Alberta Blue Cross continues to play in the production of the List and in the development of an overall strategy and initiatives to better manage Alberta Health and Wellness sponsored drug programs.
Eligibility The Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List defines the drugs and drug products that are covered by Alberta government-sponsored drug programs. These programs are for Albertans and their dependents who are covered by: 1. the Alberta Blue Cross Non-Group Coverage (Group 1) offered by the Alberta Health Care
Insurance Plan, 2. the Alberta Blue Cross Coverage for Seniors (Group 66) provided to all Alberta senior
citizens and those on the Alberta Widows’ Pension Plan (Group 66A), or 3. the drug coverage provided to individuals approved by Alberta Health and Wellness for
Palliative Care Drug Coverage. (For these individuals the Palliative Care Drug Benefit Supplement must also be considered), or
4. the drug coverage provided to Alberta Human Services and Alberta Seniors (AISH) clients. (For these clients the Alberta Human Services Drug Benefit Supplement must also be considered.)
Additional Notes Regarding Application of the List
1. The List is not intended to be used as a scientific reference or prescribing guide.
2. Formularies used by hospitals and continuing care facilities are developed independently of the List.

Section 1 • 5 EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012
DRUG REVIEWS
The Minister of Health and Wellness makes the final decisions on changes to the Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List (List) after considering the recommendations of the Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics (Expert Committee), and/or the Canadian Expert Drug Advisory Committee (CEDAC), and/or Alberta Health and Wellness. Drug manufacturers wishing to have their drug product(s) listed on the List are required to make submissions in accordance with the procedures and criteria published in the List. Common Drug Review Alberta is a participant in the national Common Drug Review procedure (CDR Procedure*) and considers recommendations from CEDAC. Submissions relating to the New Chemical Entities and New Combination Products that have received a Health Canada Notice of Compliance (NOC) should be directed to the CDR Directorate for consideration, and must comply with the CDR Procedure requirements.
• New Chemical Entity is an active moiety that has not been previously approved for sale in Canada by Health Canada and marketed in Canada. • New Combination Product consists of two or more active moieties that have not previously been approved for sale in Canada and marketed in Canada in that combination. It may consist of either two or more new active moieties or two or more old active moieties or a combination of new and old active moieties.
Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics Drug Reviews The Minister of Health and Wellness has established an Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics to refine and maintain the List on an ongoing basis. All drug products not eligible for review under the CDR Procedure or the Interchangeable Expedited Review procedure must be reviewed by the Expert Committee prior to their determination as benefits on the List. The Expert Committee considers the scientific, therapeutic, clinical and socio-economic merits of drug products. The Committee receives advice and assistance from external consultants and agencies when needed. The Expert Committee makes recommendations on the List to Alberta Health and Wellness through the Executive Director, Pharmaceutical Funding and Guidance, Health Policy and Service Standards Division. Interchangeable Reviews Drug products may be considered for listing as interchangeable through Expedited Review or Full Review. Expedited Review drug products are not required to undergo a full review by the Expert Committee. Interchangeable drug product submissions will be screened by Alberta Blue Cross to determine eligibility for an Expedited Review and the results provided to Alberta Health and Wellness. Interchangeable drug submissions requiring Full Review will be reviewed by the Expert Committee under its usual drug review procedure.

Referrals Alberta Health and Wellness at all times and in all circumstances reserves the right to refer any submission to the CDR Procedure and/or the Expert Committee for further advice or for a full review. Deferrals The Expert Committee and/or Alberta Health and Wellness reserve the right to defer any submission it deems appropriate in order to ensure that it may complete a review in a manner that protects patient safety and maintains the integrity of the AHWDBL and the government-sponsored drug programs. Examples of reasons for deferrals include, but are not limited to:
1. To request additional information in order to conduct a review and prepare recommendations;
2. Where additional time, research and/or consultation is required before a review can be completed or a recommendation can be made;
3. Where new or novel issues are raised; 4. Where issues, questions or concerns relating to any of the listing criteria or factors
arise, including but not limited to: (a) interchangeable safety issues, (b) whether the criteria requires expansion or clarification, (c) the drug product, (d) the listing, (e) the price, (f) any other relevant criteria or factor.

SUBMISSIONS for DRUG REVIEWS 1) Only submissions satisfying all of the submission requirements of the applicable category of
drug product that are deemed complete by the applicable submission deadline date will be put forward for review.
2) In addition to the submission requirements, the Expert Committee and/or Alberta Health and Wellness, at their sole discretion, reserve the right to request the drug product file from Health Canada’s Therapeutic Products Directorate (TPD), or any additional information from the manufacturer, CEDAC, or any other entity that the Expert Committee and/or Alberta Health and Wellness consider necessary, which may result in a delay in the listing recommendation for the drug product.
3) There is no obligation or guarantee that every completed submission will be reviewed, and/or a recommendation made, by a specific date or at the next scheduled meeting of the Expert Committee.
4) Pre-NOC submissions may be made; however, the submission will only be reviewed once it is complete.
5) Any request by a manufacturer to hold a submission will result in a submission being deemed incomplete as of the date of the request. A submission on hold will only be considered complete once correspondence is received from a manufacturer to proceed with the submission.
6) Only one (1) copy of a submission for a drug product is required. A determination by Alberta Blue Cross that a submission is complete is preliminary and made only for the purposes of forwarding the submission for review.
7) Drug manufacturers are permitted to provide other information they feel may be important to the review of a submission e.g. selected references or additional studies completed after a drug product had been submitted to the Therapeutic Products Directorate, Health Canada. Comparative studies with other listed drug products are most relevant.
8) Information on submission deadlines are posted on the Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List website which can be accessed at http://www.ab.bluecross.ca/dbl/manufacturers.html. Notice of Significant Changes - By making a submission, and if a drug product is listed on the List, manufacturers acknowledge and agree that they are required to notify the Senior Manager, Scientific and Research Services of any significant change to listed drug products.

The Submission Requirements and Criteria of the AHWDBL require manufacturers to provide the Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics (“Expert Committee”) with data comparing the submitted drug product to the reference drug product. Under the Interchangeable Drug Products Criteria, manufacturers are also required to demonstrate bioequivalence with the reference drug product in accordance with the Criteria. At various times, some manufacturers have submitted interchangeability submissions using a Non-Canadian Reference Product (NCRP). After reviewing several submissions, the Expert Committee has adopted the practice of permitting manufacturers to demonstrate bioequivalency by providing data comparing the submitted drug product to a NCRP that meets the Criteria for use of a Non-Canadian Reference Product as set out in Health Canada’s Drugs Directorate Policy regarding the use of a Non-Canadian Reference Product under the provisions of Section C.08.002.1(c) of the Food and Drug Regulations (the “NCRP Criteria”). Important Note: Health Canada does not determine interchangeability and therefore, a determination by Health Canada that a product meets the NCRP Criteria is not sufficient proof for the Expert Committee’s purposes. The Expert Committee will continue to consider and assess all of the submission materials, and make its own determination whether the NCRP Criteria, the Submission Requirements and the Criteria are met, and whether the product may be designated as interchangeable. The practice in these situations is that, after receipt of the submission, Alberta Blue Cross makes a request to Health Canada for a copy of the Therapeutic Products Directorate’s review (TPD File) for the submitted product(s). Manufacturers are advised that, in order to avoid a possible deferral, they may include a full copy of the TPD File in their submission. If necessary, submissions may be deferred until the TPD File is received. Product submissions may, at the discretion of Alberta Blue Cross, be scheduled for review if the TPD File is received 7 days prior to the meeting date. As with all submissions, the Expert Committee retains the right to request additional materials from the manufacturer, Health Canada or any other entity it determines appropriate in order to conduct its review.

Interchangeable Drug Products - Additional Criteria
Principle: Decisions respecting interchangeability and drug lists remain in the domain of the institution responsible for the costs of the product which includes hospitals, provincial governments and other third party payers (6/9/95 Canada Gazette Part ll, Vol. 129, No. 18) Preface: The Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List (AHWDBL) contains designations of interchangeability for approved multisource drug products. The Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics makes recommendations on interchangeability to Alberta Health and Wellness through the Executive Director, Pharmaceutical Funding and Guidance Branch, Health Policy and Service Standards Division. The Minister of Health and Wellness makes the final decisions on interchangeability after reviewing the recommendations of the Expert Committee and/or Alberta Health and Wellness. Definitions: (Note: additional definitions in the applicable Appendices may apply) Interchangeable Drug Product: An interchangeable drug product is a drug product that has been designated as interchangeable by the Minister of Health and Wellness after reviewing the recommendations of the Expert Committee or Alberta Health and Wellness. Recommendations regarding interchangeability are made taking into consideration the scientific, therapeutic, clinical and socio-economic merits of drug products in accordance with the published criteria. Drug products designated as interchangeable are expected to be safe when interchanged with other drug products in the interchangeable grouping, and to have the same therapeutic effectiveness when administered to patients under the conditions specified in the labeling. The designation of interchangeability is made only for the purpose of funding of drug benefits covered under the Alberta government-sponsored drug benefit programs and is not to be used as a scientific reference or prescribing guide. Multisource Drug Product: Drug products are considered to be multisource drug products when they are manufactured and/or distributed by more than one manufacturer. Pharmaceutical Alternative: Drug products may be considered to be pharmaceutical alternatives if they use the same route of administration and contain the same active therapeutic ingredient(s) but are different salts, esters or complexes of that moiety, or are different dosage forms or strengths. Pharmaceutical Equivalent: Drug products are considered to be pharmaceutical equivalents if they contain the same active therapeutic ingredient(s), are of comparable dosage form(s), route of administration and are identical in strength or concentration. Pseudo-Generic Drug Product: A pseudo-generic drug product is a drug product that is manufactured under the identical master formulae and manufacturing and quality control specifications as a) the innovator brand of the drug; or b) any drug product that is currently listed on the AHWDBL within the submission product’s interchangeable grouping.

6. In addition, the Expert Committee may also consider any other factor that may affect the interchangeability of a drug product, including but not limited to:
• characteristics of the drug product (e.g. shape, scoring, configuration, packaging, labelling);
• excipients and non-medicinal ingredient(s) (e.g. sugar, sodium); • expiration times; • storage conditions.
Interchangeable Drug Products - Additional Criteria APPENDICES
Critical Dose Drug Product Appendix Critical Dose Drug: Is a drug where comparatively small differences in dose or concentration lead to dose- and concentration-dependent, serious therapeutic failures and/or serious adverse drug reactions which may be persistent, irreversible, slowly reversible or life threatening, which could result in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent disability or incapacity, or death. Critical dose drugs include:
a) Any drug listed in Appendix I - List of Critical Dose Drugs of Health Canada’s Guidance for Industry entitled Bioequivalence Requirements: Critical Dose Drugs; and
b) Any other drug that the Expert Committee determines meets the above definition, which determination may include consideration of any other matter that may affect the interchangeability of a product containing a critical dose drug.
Criteria: Bioequivalence studies must meet the requirements and standards in the TPD Reports, with the exception that the following standards will be used: 1. The 90% confidence interval of the relative mean AUC of the test to reference formulation
should be within 90.0 to 112.0%; the relevant AUC or AUCs as described in TPD Reports A and B are to be determined.
2. The 90% confidence interval of the relative mean measured Cmax of the test to reference formulation should be between 80.0 and 125.0%.
3. These requirements are to be met in both the fasted and fed states. 4. These standards should be met on log transformed parameters calculated from the
measured data and from data corrected for measured drug content (percent potency of label claim).
5. If a steady-state study is required, the 90% confidence interval of the relative mean measured Cmin of the test to reference formulation should also be between 80.0 and 125.0%.

EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012 Section 1 • 30
Non-Linear Drug Product Appendix Non-Linear Drug: A drug is considered to be a Non-Linear Drug if the Health Canada approved product monograph for the Canadian innovator drug product states that it is a non-linear drug. Criteria: 1. Bioequivalence studies must meet the requirements and standards in the TPD Reports, and these requirements and standards should be met in single dose studies in both the fasted and fed states, with the following exceptions:
a) if non-linearity occurs after the drug enters the systemic circulation, a fed study may be waived unless there is sufficient evidence, at the Expert Committee’s sole discretion, that a product exhibits a food effect; or b) if a condition (fasted or fed) for product ingestion is contraindicated, that condition may be waived in a bioequivalence trial. For bioequivalence testing the fasting and fed doses should be the same.
2. At the sole discretion of the Expert Committee, it may be acceptable to conduct bioequivalence studies at either the highest or lowest strength of a range of proportionally formulated strengths as outlined below:
a) For drugs with non-linear pharmacokinetics in the single unit dose range of approved strengths resulting in greater than proportional increases in AUC with increasing dose, the bioequivalence studies should be conducted on at least the highest strength. That is, where non-linearity arises from capacity-limited clearance, the highest strength for the proposed indications should be tested. For drugs where the non-linear concentration range is reached only after multiple doses within the approved dosing regimen, studies utilizing multiple units of the highest formulation strength or steady-state studies in the non-linear range may be required. Where steady-state studies are conducted, single dose studies will not be required. In all situations, safety in dosing should be considered.
b) For drugs with non-linear pharmacokinetics in the single unit dose range of approved strengths resulting in less than proportional increases in AUC with increasing dose, the bioequivalence studies should be conducted on at least the lowest strength (single dose unit). That is, where non-linearity arises from capacity-limited absorption, the test dose should be a single unit of the lowest strength.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION REGARDING SELECT QUINOLONE SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION PROCESS
Optional Special Authorization introduced for quinolones At the request of Alberta Health and Wellness, Alberta Employment and Immigration, Alberta Seniors and Community Supports and Alberta Children and Youth Services, Alberta Blue Cross applied criteria effective September 15, 2005 for coverage of select quinolone antibiotics covered through their drug benefit programs:
• ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, and ofloxacin. Norfloxacin continues to be eligible for coverage as an unrestricted benefit. Rationale These criteria are the result of a comprehensive evidence-based review undertaken as an initiative of the Alberta Health and Wellness Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics through the Review of Benefit Status (ROBS) process. This review examined systemic antimicrobial agents currently covered via the Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List. The mandate of the review was to encourage optimal utilization and to help prevent antimicrobial resistance. The review was conducted according to the established ROBS process, and included systematic reviews of the medical literature and analysis of current utilization patterns. External Alberta physicians and pharmacists with expertise in the treatment of infectious diseases provided advice and assistance for this review process. Information and experience from other provincial jurisdictions that have undertaken similar antimicrobial reviews were also taken into consideration in this review. The review was completed in accordance with pre-determined guiding principles that sought to allow optimal practice to proceed, ensuring optimal use and helping prevent resistance, while at the same time being unencumbered by undue paperwork and unnecessary restrictions.
Role of Physicians In conjunction with these new criteria, physicians have two options by which patients may be eligible for coverage of these specific antimicrobial products. This offers a streamlined alternative to traditional Special Authorization. 1) Physicians can register to be a designated prescriber. Registration allows for patients to receive coverage of quinolones
without Special Authorization as long as the prescription is written for one of the criteria for coverage set out in the Alberta Health and Wellness Drug Benefit List. These criteria are attached for your reference. Should a designated physician wish to prescribe one of the select quinolones outside the coverage criteria, they may do so but must indicate this on the prescription; however, patients will not be eligible for payment under the government-sponsored program for such prescriptions and the patient may choose to receive the product at their expense.
2) Physicians who choose not to register will be considered ‘non-designated prescribers’.
• Such physicians will be required to apply for Special Authorization on the patient’s behalf. • A patient’s claims for prescriptions written by non-designated physicians will be subject to a first fill forgiveness
rule. This means the first claim will be paid but subsequent claims for the same active ingredient (irrespective of strength, route and form) within a 90 day period will require Special Authorization.
• Special authorization requests must be submitted using the Select Quinolones Special Authorization Request Form. If the appropriate sections of this request form are completed and coverage criteria are met, the request will be processed within approximately 6 to 18 hours of receiving the request. Subsequent claims will be rejected unless Special Authorization is granted.
To register to become a designated prescriber
please return your completed registration by FAX to 1-877-305-9911. For more information, please contact
Clinical Drug Services, Alberta Blue Cross, at 780-498-8368.

66BAlberta Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Review Panel
The Alberta Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Review Panel is an external review panel composed of neurologists and other health professionals with expertise in MS, appointed by the Minister of Health and Wellness.
The Review Panel’s functions include:
making recommendations to Alberta Health and Wellness on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage program requirements, including maintenance of the eligibility criteria;
identifying “MS Neurologists” for the purposes of this program, and; reviewing applications for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage.
67BProcess for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage
Participating “MS Neurologists” must complete a separate Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage Application form(s) for each patient. The completed application may be forwarded to Alberta Blue Cross by mail or by facsimile.
Alberta Blue Cross, in providing administrative support to the Review Panel, receives and screens each application for completeness, then forwards it to the Review Panel for assessment. Alberta Blue Cross responds to applicants on the Review Panel’s behalf. After an application is assessed by the Review Panel, Alberta Blue Cross notifies the “MS Neurologist” and the patient by letter of the Review Panel’s decision. If the patient is approved for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage an MS Nurse (a nurse with extensive knowledge of MS and MS therapies) will provide the patient with education regarding: (i) potential benefits and limitations of therapy, (ii) side-effects, (iii) how drug administration will be taught, (iv) how the patient will be followed, (v) how the patient can access help or information, (vi) how the treatment will be reimbursed and the requirements for reimbursement, (vii) indications for treatment to possibly be discontinued, and (viii) what should be reported and to whom. The MS Nurse will also ensure that the prescribing neurologist is aware of the timelines for the necessary ongoing follow-up to ensure safe and appropriate ongoing use of therapies. A new Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage Application form(s) must be completed by an “MS Neurologist” to review coverage if the patient requires a different Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug and for renewal requests.
To be eligible for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Drug Coverage, prescriptions must be written by an “MS Neurologist” identified by the Review Panel. Regular monitoring of patients during the first year of therapy is needed in order to ensure the appropriate treatment option and dose, and to minimize the potential for wastage. Therefore, prescription quantities are limited to a one-month supply for the first year of therapy. This also applies to drug changes and to patients new or transferring to this program. Once the patient has been stabilized on a MS drug (excluding Tysabri) and dosage for one year and received program renewal authorization, up to 100 days’ supply may be dispensed at a time.
Government will not be responsible for reimbursement of costs associated with wastage or improper storage of the drug.
Prior approval must be granted to ensure coverage. Approval is granted for a specific period, to a maximum of 12 months unless otherwise indicated. If continued treatment is necessary, it is the responsibility of the patient and “MS Neurologist” to re-apply for drug coverage prior to the expiry date of the authorization period.

Page 1 and 2: 1. McDonald Criteria (Ann Neurol 2001; 50:121-127) Summary: patients must meet one of the following conditions:
a) 2 attacks confirmed by objective findings and evidence of 2 clinically objective lesions. b) 2 attacks confirmed by objective findings, and 1 clinically objective lesion, and either dissemination in space by MRI as below or at least 2 MRI lesions
and CSF oligoclonal bands or increased IgG index. c) 1 attack confirmed by objective findings, and 2 clinically objective lesion sites, and dissemination in time by MRI. d) 1 attack confirmed by objective findings, and 1 clinically objective lesion, and dissemination in space by MRI [or 2 MRI lesions and + CSF] and
dissemination in time by MRI. Dissemination in space by MRI: (3 of 4 of the following): 1) 1 gd+ lesion or 9 T2 hyperintense lesions (cord or brain); 2) 1 infratentorial lesion; 3) 1 juxtacortical lesion; 4) 3 periventricular lesions Dissemination in time by MRI: Either 1) a gd+ lesion on an MRI at least 3 (or more) months after an attack, at a different site; or, 2) a new T2 lesion at least 3 months after scan that was completed at least 3 months after the initial documented attack, at a different site.
2. In RRMS an attack is defined as the appearance of new symptoms or worsening of old symptoms, lasting at least 48 hours in the absence of fever, and not associated with withdrawal from steroids. In SPMS it is more difficult to differentiate attacks from disease fluctuation; therefore, attacks must meet these criteria, must have lasted at least 72 hours, and new neurologic deficits must have been documented by a physician. Attacks must be separated by a period of at least one month.
3. Required prior to approval for all patients who have not been on treatment for at least 6 months. 4. Progression is worsening neurologic impairment not due to residual deficits from attacks. 5. Consider onset as the time of first convincing MS symptoms. This would include episodes such as transverse myelitis or optic neuritis, but not (in most
cases) non-specific symptoms such as dizziness, visual blurring or fatigue.

EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012
"Natalizumab coverage may be provided for the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) to reduce the frequency of clinical exacerbations, to decrease the number andvolume of active brain lesions identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and to delay the progression of physical disability, in adult patients (18 years of age or older) who have active RRMS that is causing CNS injury, who have previously been demonstrated to have at least nine T2 hyperintense lesions on brain MRI, and who are refractory or intolerant to both interferon beta (Avonex, Betaseron/Extavia or Rebif) and glatiramer acetate (Copaxone). Patients who develop neutralizing antibodies to interferon will be considered to have failed interferon.
Neutralizing Antibodies to interferon
If neutralizing antibodies are present, a report indicating clinically significant titres must be provided.
Refractory
When the above agents are taken at the recommended doses 'Refractory' is defined as:Within a 12-month period the patient has:
1) Been adherent to the disease modifying therapy (DMT) (i.e., greater than 80% of approved doses have been administered);
AND
2a) Experienced at least two relapses confirmed by the presence of neurologic deficits on examination.- The first qualifying relapse must have begun at least one month after treatment initiation- There must be at least one month between the onset of relapses- Neurologic deficits must have persisted for at least 3 months for one of the relapses. Alternatively, information on a second qualifying relapse with severe deficits (defined as unable to carry out usual activities of daily living), submitted within 3 months of the date of onset, will beconsidered.
OR
2b) Experienced one relapse confirmed by the presence of neurologic deficits on examination.- This relapse must have begun at least one month after treatment initiation.- Neurologic deficits must have persisted for at least 1 month
AND
Have evidence of active inflammatory MS disease activity on brain or spine MRI that:- started/occurred during treatment with DMT, and- was not associated with a clinical relapse
MRI evidence may be:- a definite gadolinium enhancing T1 lesion (not questionable faint enhancement) that was present on an MRI obtained at least 3 months after initiation of DMT and not within 3 months of a relapse;OR- The appearance of 2 or more new, or newly enlarging, T2 hyperintense lesions, greater than 3 mm in size.- To confirm that these new T2 lesions occurred on treatment, the baseline MRI must have beencompleted at least one month after starting DMT.- To confirm that the MRI lesions were not associated with the relapse, the relapse cannot have occurred between the 2 MRI scans.- To confirm that the T2 lesions occurred during the 12 month qualifying period, both MRI scans and the relapse must occur within a 12 month period.

Documentation supporting this criterion requires a radiologist's report that directly compares 2 brain MRI scans and that indicates the MRI scan dates, and that clearly states that 2 or more new, or newly enlarging, T2 lesions at least 3 mm in size are present on the second scan.
Intolerant
'Intolerant' is defined as demonstrating serious adverse effects or contraindications to treatments as defined in the product monograph, or a persisting adverse event that is unresponsive to recommended management techniques and which is incompatible with further use of that class of DMT.
Contraindications
Coverage will not be approved if any of the following contraindications exist:- Any evidence of disease progression independent of relapses (i.e., has developed secondary progressive MS)- Immune compromised due to immunosuppressant or antineoplastic therapy or due to immunodeficiency (HIV, leukemia, lymphoma, etc.)- History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)- Concurrent malignancy or significant illness likely to alter compliance or substantially reduce life expectancy- Planned or current pregnancy, or nursing
Coverage
For coverage, this drug must be prescribed by a Specialist in Neurology ("MS Neurologist") who has been identified by the Alberta MS Drug Review Panel.
Initial Coverage
- Within the 2 years prior to the Tysabri application, the patient must meet the same relapse criteria that are required for other MS therapies considered for MS Drug Coverage (2 relapses during the last 2 years, one of which may be an MRI enhancing lesion). In most cases this will be satisfied by the treatment failure demonstrated but, if a patient failed interferon and glatirameracetate more than one year earlier, ongoing active disease must be confirmed. Exceptions may be made for patients switching due to recent development of intolerance or neutralizing antibodies.- Coverage will not be approved when any DMT or other immunosuppressive therapy is to be used in combination with Tysabri (except corticosteroids which can be used for up to 12 weeks during Tysabri initiation in patients with coexisting Crohn's Disease or similar situations).- Patients who have failed Tysabri will not be eligible for a subsequent trial of Tysabri (except in exceptional circumstances).
Following this assessment, coverage may be approved for 13 doses of 300 mg (i.e., one dose administered every 4 weeks for a period of 12 months). Patients will be limited to receiving 1 dose (4 weeks supply) of Tysabri per prescription at their pharmacy.
Continued Coverage
For continued coverage beyond 13 doses, the patient must meet the following criteria:
1) At the first renewal there must be evidence that neutralizing antibodies to Tysabri are absent. This requires an initial test between 6 to 8 months of treatment. If neutralizing antibodies are absent, no further testing is required. If neutralizing antibodies are present, testing must be repeated prior to the renewal request.
2) The patient must be assessed by an MS Neurologist and have an MRI with gadolinium at least every 12 months;

Section 3A EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012
CRITERIA FOR OPTIONAL SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION OF SELECT DRUG PRODUCTS
The drug products listed in this section may be considered for coverage by optional special authorization for patients covered under Alberta Health and Wellness-sponsored drug programs. (For Alberta Human Services and Alberta Seniors (AISH) clients, the optional special authorization criteria for coverage can be found in the Criteria for Optional Special Authorization of Select Drug Products section of the Alberta Human Services Drug Benefit Supplement.)
70BCriteria for Coverage
Wording that appears within quotation marks (“ “) in this section is the official optional special authorization criteria, as recommended by the Alberta Health and Wellness Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics, and approved by the Minister of Health and Wellness. Wording that is not enclosed in quotation marks outlines specific information required to interpret criteria, guidelines for submitting requests and/or information regarding conditions under which coverage cannot be provided.
71BRole of the Prescribers
In conjunction with the criteria, prescribers have two options by which patients may be eligible for coverage of these select optional special authorization drug products.
1) Prescribers can register to be a designated prescriber. Registration allows for patients to receive coverage of select drug products without special authorization as long as the prescription is written for one of the criteria for coverage set out in this section. Should a designated prescriber wish to prescribe one of the select drug products outside the coverage criteria, they may do so but must indicate this on the prescription; however, patients will not be eligible for payment under the Alberta government-sponsored program for such prescription and the patient may choose to receive the product at their expense. The registration form may be found on the previous page.
2) Prescribers who choose not to register will be considered non-designated prescribers. Such prescribers will be required to apply for special authorization on the patient’s behalf.

The DBL is not a prescribing or a diagnostic tool. Prescribers should refer to drug monographs and utilize professional judgment.
Section 4 • 1 EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012
RARE DISEASES DRUG COVERAGE PROGRAM
Selected drug products used in the treatment of rare diseases may be considered for coverage for individuals covered under Alberta government-sponsored drug programs. The Minister of Health and Wellness makes the final decisions regarding coverage under this Program, and may list a drug product under this section when the Minister considers it in the public interest to do so.1
.
RARE DISEASES DRUG COVERAGE
In order to be eligible for the Rare Diseases Drug Coverage Program, an individual must: • have Alberta government-sponsored drug coverage; • be continuously registered in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan for a minimum of five
years unless: the individual is less than five years of age at the date of the application, then the
individual’s parent/guardian/legal representative must be registered continuously in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan for a minimum of five years;
OR the individual has moved to Alberta from another province or territory in Canada (the
“province of origin”), and immediately prior to moving to Alberta, was covered for a drug product listed in this section in the province of origin by a provincial or territorial government sponsored drug plan, and
• meet the clinical criteria for a rare disease drug product published on the List;
the individual has been registered in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (the individual must provide supporting documentation from the province of origin to prove prior coverage).
• have a Rare Diseases Drug Coverage Application form (“Application”) submitted on their behalf to Alberta Blue Cross by the individual’s “Rare Disease Specialist”;
• have the Application reviewed and approved for coverage by the Alberta Rare Diseases Clinical Review Panel (“Review Panel”)
• complete the required forms, and consent to and acknowledge that approval for initial and continued coverage is conditional upon clinical outcomes; regular monitoring of the individual’s clinical outcomes will be required, and that coverage will be discontinued if there is inadequate response or the individual’s
condition deteriorates as outlined in the withdrawal criteria established in relation to a specific rare diseases drug product and/or as assessed by the Review Panel.
Contraindications
In addition to meeting the above criteria, the individual must not have the following contraindications: • Significant illness, not including one of the rare diseases, likely to substantially alter or reduce

1 Section 1 of the AHWDBL does not apply to the Rare Diseases Drug Coverage Program
The DBL is not a prescribing or a diagnostic tool. Prescribers should refer to drug monographs and utilize professional judgment.
EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012 Section 4 • 2
Rare Diseases Drugs Eligible for Coverage
Drug products approved by Health Canada for the treatment of Rare Diseases may be considered for coverage in accordance with this section. Rare Diseases are genetic, lysosmal storage disorders occurring at a rate of less than one per 50,000 for the Canadian population for a specific disease (as determined by Alberta Health and Wellness). As of April 1, 2009, drug products for the treatment of the following rare diseases are currently under consideration for coverage: • Gaucher’s disease • Fabry disease • MPS-I (Hurler/Hurler Scheie) • Hunter disease • Pompe disease
Alberta Rare Diseases Clinical Review Panel
The Alberta Rare Diseases Clinical Review Panel (“Review Panel”) is a review panel composed of specialists treating rare diseases and other health professionals with clinical expertise, appointed by the Minister of Health and Wellness. The Review Panel’s functions include: • Providing advice to Alberta Health and Wellness regarding the Rare Diseases Drug Coverage
Program; • Reviewing and applying clinical knowledge and skills to individual applications for Rare
Diseases Drug Coverage; and • Providing advice to the Expert Committee on Drug Evaluation and Therapeutics regarding
drug products under consideration for coverage under this section, clinical criteria for rare diseases drug products and identifying appropriate “Rare Disease Specialists”.
Process for Rare Diseases Drug Coverage
Participating “Rare Disease Specialists” must complete a Rare Diseases Drug Coverage Application form for each individual. The form must be the one specific to the rare diseases drug product being requested. The completed application may be forwarded to Alberta Blue Cross by mail or by facsimile. To be considered for Rare Diseases Drug Coverage, the “Rare Disease Specialist” must confirm the individual (or individual’s parent/guardian/legal representative) has been provided with information regarding the Rare Diseases Drug Coverage Program and have completed the required forms.
ALBERTA HEALTH AND WELLNESS DRUG BENEFIT LIST RARE DISEASES DRUG COVERAGE PROGRAM
The DBL is not a prescribing or a diagnostic tool. Prescribers should refer to drug monographs and utilize professional judgment.
Section 4 • 3 EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2012
Alberta Blue Cross, in providing administrative support to the Review Panel, receives and screens each application for completeness, then forwards to Alberta Health and Wellness to confirm that the individual has met the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan registration requirement (please see above). Once it has been confirmed that the individual meets the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan registration requirement, Alberta Blue Cross forwards the application to the Review Panel for assessment. Alberta Blue Cross responds to applicants on the Review Panel’s behalf. After an application has been assessed by the Review Panel, Alberta Blue Cross notifies the individual’s “Rare Disease Specialist” and the individual or individual’s parent/guardian/legal representative by letter of the Review Panel’s decision. Eligibility will be effective the date coverage is approved by the Review Panel. Renewals require a new drug product specific Rare Diseases Drug Coverage Application form that is completed by a “Rare Disease Specialist”. To be eligible for Rare Diseases Drug Coverage, prescriptions must be written by a “Rare Disease Specialist” as identified by the eligibility criteria for the drug product. To avoid wastage, prescription quantities are limited to a one-month supply. Extended quantity and vacation supplies are not permitted. Out-of-country claims will only be reimbursed in accordance with standard rules and regulations; individuals should verify with Alberta Blue Cross these rules and regulations prior
to obtaining drug products out of the country.
Government will not be responsible for reimbursement of costs associated with wastage or improper storage of rare diseases drug products. Prior approval must be granted to ensure coverage. Approval is granted for a specific period, to a maximum of 12 months. If continued treatment is necessary, it is the responsibility of the individual or individual’s parent/guardian/legal representative and the “Rare Disease Specialist” to re-apply for drug product coverage prior to the expiry date of the authorization period.
