The pricing of Disitamab Vedotin varies by dosage, region and hospital policies. A single vial generally costs approximately US$$2,170 to U$$2,893. The total cost must be calculated comprehensively based on the patient’s body weight and treatment regimen (e.g., dosing frequency and cycles). For the most accurate price, please refer to real-time quotes from the treating hospital or formal authorized channels.
1. Key Factors Affecting the Price
Dosage and treatment course
The dose is calculated based on the patient’s body weight (usually 2.5 mg/kg). Patients with a higher body weight need a larger single dose, leading to higher total costs.
Regional and hospital differences
Final pricing may be affected by medical insurance policies across provinces, hospital procurement costs and logistics expenses.
Medical insurance reimbursement
Disitamab Vedotin has been included in some medical insurance lists, with reimbursement rates varying by region (e.g., 50%–70% in some cities). Please consult your local medical insurance authority.
2. Cost Calculation Example
Take a 60 kg adult patient as an example:
Single dose: 60 kg × 2.5 mg/kg = 150 mg (2 vials of 75 mg)
Single treatment cost: If one vial costs US$$2,604, the single cost is U$$5,208.
Full course: If given once every 2 weeks for 6 months (about 12 cycles), the total cost is roughly US$62,495. The actual course will be adjusted based on the patient’s condition.
