WASHINGTON — The government on
Wednesday refused to override patents on the
AIDS drug Norvir, effectively allowing a quin
tupling of the price to stand despite consumer
groups’ accusations of price gouging.
Patient groups and some members of
Congress had pushed the National Institutes
of Elealth to take the unprecedented action,
arguing it was warranted under a special law
because Norvir’s discovery was partially fund
ed by taxpayer dollars.
But the NIH decided that such an extraordinary
step could have overly broad effects on the pharma
ceutical market, and would exceed that law’s intent.
“The issue of drug pricing has global implica
tions and, thus, is appropriately left for Congress
to address legislatively,” concluded Dr. Elias
Zerhouni, NIH director.
Abbott Laboratories raised the price of the 8-
year-old Norvir to $8.57 a day from $1.7! late
last year.
The impact reached far beyond that one drug:
Low doses of Norvir are used to boost the effects
of other anti-HIV medicines, meaning patients
taking a wide array of AIDS drug cocktails faced
substantially higher bills.
Consumer advocates decried that the increased
price applied only to the United States, leaving
Norvir 5 to 10 times cheaper in other countries.
They also called it anticompetitive, because it only
applied when Norvir is added to other companies’

The price hike came amid already vigi
debate about why Americans pay much me
prescription drugs than do patients in such
tries as Canada and Britain.
Citing the $3.5 million NIH grantthathel
lead to Norvir’s discovery, the consumergi: lt0 t ‘ ie
Essential Inventions petitioned the goveri llt '; ,Av
to grant licenses for other companies tom
the medicine, too. Their aim: drivingthtih
price down.
The 24-year-old Bayh-Dole Act
NIH to claim patents of inventions partly
by government if companies don’t bring 1
market in ways that “achieve practical <
tion.” But the government has never
so-called march-in rights.
“It’s a horrible decision,” said RobertWeissiB-j
general counsel for Essential Inventions saidof
NIH ruling. The decision means drugmakeis'i
put government-funded inventions on the®
at any price whatsoever without facing the |
sibility of a march-in.”
NIH concluded that Norvir meets the it!
intent of the law. The drug is widely soldand,fj

Office of Technology Transfer.
Does that mean NIH would never de—_ ^ .

Harbinger said, adding that other factors are'® d 11
