罕見神經病童用藥多一選擇! 健保擴大國血製劑給付

Quick Look

健保署自10月1日起擴大高單位免疫球蛋白給付,將國人血漿製成的第二代國血製劑納入2歲以上、未滿18歲慢性炎症脫髓鞘性多發性神經病變(CIDP)患者可使用品項,讓符合條件的病童多一項治療選擇,同時落實國血國用政策。

Why It Matters

健保署自10月1日起擴大高單位免疫球蛋白給付,將國人血漿製成的第二代國血製劑納入2歲以上、未滿18歲慢性炎症脫髓鞘性多發性神經病變(CIDP)患者可使用品項。此舉旨在落實國血國用政策,並為兒童青少年CIDP患者提供更多治療選擇。

〔記者羅碧/台北報導〕免疫失調攻擊周邊神經,可能讓孩子肢體無力、行走困難。健保署自10月1日起擴大高單位免疫球蛋白給付,將由國人血漿製成的第二代的國血製劑,納入2歲以上、未滿18歲慢性炎症脫髓鞘性多發性神經病變(CIDP)患者可使用品項,讓符合條件的病童多一項治療選擇。

新光醫院副院長葉建宏表示,這類慢性神經炎與免疫失調有關,標準治療包括類固醇等免疫調節藥物,靜脈注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)也是一線治療選項,常可迅速改善病程,間歸性使用則有助病程維持穩定。不過,健保訂有給付條件,患者是否需要使用,仍須考量疾病嚴重度。

請繼續往下閱讀...

葉建宏指出,免疫球蛋白用於治療CIDP已有臨床經驗,成人使用也已有健保給付,此次調整重點,是讓兒童及青少年患者也能在符合規定下,使用這款由台灣民眾捐血取得血漿、送往澳洲製造的國血製劑。

台灣血液基金會顧問醫師洪正昇說明,CIDP致病機轉尚不明確,患者的免疫系統會攻擊周邊神經髓鞘,導致神經傳導受損,可能出現肢體無力、腿部感覺喪失及行走困難。除類固醇、免疫球蛋白外,也可採俗稱「洗血」的血漿置換術,將含有自體抗體或發炎因子的血漿分離、移除,再回輸健康血漿。

台灣血液基金會執行長王宗曦表示,第二代國血製劑益康於2024年上市,仿單核准適應症已包括CIDP,成大醫院、長庚體系等醫學中心,也已有經健保專案或事前審查核准使用Privigen治療未滿18歲患者的先例。

王宗曦指出,過去給付規定未明列這款國血製劑可用於該年齡層,臨床雖已有使用經驗,病童仍可能面臨自費或用藥選擇受限。因此,血液基金會於去年11月去函健保署,建議明列給付規定;健保署召開專家會議後完成修訂,讓符合醫療適應症與審查條件的病童,能有更明確的用藥選擇。

此次修訂也將CIDP診斷及處方醫師資格擴增為「神經科專科醫師或兒童神經科醫師」,讓病童可由兒童神經科醫師評估治療。患者仍須符合相關診斷及治療條件,並經事前審查核准,才能使用高單位免疫球蛋白。

對於患者人數,血液基金會提供的臨床推估指出,國內兒童、青少年CIDP每年新增數十例,總病人數不超過百人。不過,葉建宏對這項估計有所保留,認為兒童個案數未必如此多,且患者是否需要免疫球蛋白治療,也不能單憑診斷判定,須考量病情嚴重度。

王宗曦強調,原有健保給付CIDP的兩款免疫球蛋白均來自國外,一旦供應短缺,可能影響病友治療。增加國血製劑選項,除了落實「國血國用」,也有助降低進口供應波動風險,提升血液製劑供應自主性。

Will the Russian plague spread around the world? WHO’s latest assessment comes out but leaves “key proviso”

A 28-year-old employee of the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Irkutsk, Russia, died on October 2, raising concerns about pneumonic plague. About 200 contacts were quarantined or under medical surveillance. No plague pathogen was found in the test, only the new coronavirus and rhinovirus were detected. The World Health Organization assesses that the current global public health risk is low, but the cause of death and whether the deceased was infected with plague remain unclear.

Taking antibiotics and eating sweets? Study reveals massive increase in "this type of bacteria" in the intestines

Researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and other institutions in the United States analyzed 173 cancer patients who received hematopoietic cell transplantation and found that the more sweets they consumed during antibiotic treatment, the more obvious the decline in intestinal bacterial diversity. For every 100 grams of additional sweets intake, the diversity of intestinal bacteria in the feces decreased by about 24%. At the same time, enterococci (especially Enterococcus faecalis) increased. People with high sugar intake increased their risk of death after transplantation by about 12%.
