About Campath and its cost

What is this medication? Campath, which contains the active ingredient alemtuzumab, is a monoclonal antibody primarily prescribed for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This medication is specifically used for patients who have already undergone treatment with alkylating agents and have not achieved a lasting response to fludarabine therapy. By targeting the CD52 protein found on the surface of both healthy and cancerous B and T lymphocytes, Campath works to deplete these specific white blood cells from the body, thereby slowing the progression of the cancer.

In addition to its use in oncology, alemtuzumab is sometimes utilized in other medical contexts, such as preventing organ rejection in transplant recipients or managing certain autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis. However, when used for multiple sclerosis, it is typically marketed under a different brand name. Because it significantly suppresses the immune system, patients taking this medication must be closely monitored for serious infections and other potential side effects throughout their course of treatment.

Campath is made by Sanofi. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Campath?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Campath?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Sanofi has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Campath?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Leukemia?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
