Abstract

Background: To investigate the cost-effectiveness of toripalimab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients from a societal perspective.

Methods: A partitioned-survival model estimated the costs and cost-effectiveness of toripalimab plus chemotherapy versus standard chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC over 20 years. Clinical data were derived from the CHOICE-01 trial, and cost and utility inputs were gathered from Yaozh.com, expert interviews, and a nationwide hospital-based survey. Costs were reported in 2022 US dollars, and outcomes included quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), with a 5% discount rate was applied. Sensitivity, subgroup, and scenario analyses verified the robustness of results.

Results: Toripalimab plus chemotherapy resulted in 3.048 QALYs and a total cost of $60,813, with an ICER of $19,066 per QALY gained, below China's 3 times GDP per capita threshold ($38,223). Robustness is confirmed through sensitivity, subgroup and scenario analyses.

Conclusions: Toripalimab plus chemotherapy is a cost-effective option for treatment-naive advanced NSCLC compared to chemotherapy alone, providing valuable evidence for clinical and reimbursement decision-making.

托帕利单抗联合化疗与化疗作为一线治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌在中国的成本效益：社会视角

背景：从社会角度探讨托帕利单抗联合化疗与单独化疗治疗晚期非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）患者的成本-效果。方法：一个分区生存模型估计了20年以上晚期NSCLC的托利单抗联合化疗与标准化疗的成本和成本-效果。临床数据来自CHOICE-01试验，成本和效用输入来自药价网、专家访谈和全国范围内的医院调查。成本以2022美元报告，结果包括质量调整生命年（QALYs）和增量成本效益比（ICERs），采用5%的贴现率。敏感性、亚组和情景分析验证了结果的稳健性。结果：托里帕利单抗加化疗的QALY为3.052次，总费用为60813美元，ICER为19066美元/ QALY，低于中国人均GDP的3倍门槛（38223美元）。通过灵敏度分析、亚组分析和情景分析证实了稳健性。结论：与单独化疗相比，托利哌单抗联合化疗是治疗初期晚期NSCLC的一种经济有效的选择，为临床和报销决策提供了有价值的证据。
