Objective: to determine the prevalence and character of hyperferritinemia manifestations in NAFLD patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of its correction with human placenta hydrolysate. Material and methods . We examined 158 patients aged from 20 to 63 years (92 men and 66 women). There were no significant differences in age between men and women. The control group consisted of 20 practically healthy individuals. Molecular mechanisms of peptide components of human placenta hydrolysate (Laennec®) impact on pathophysiological processes of serum ferritin disorders, iron metabolism indicators, and inflammation manifestations were analyzed. Results. Nineteen peptides potentially important for regulation of iron homeostasis were identified in Laennec® composition. These peptides contribute to the elimination of iron metabolism disorders by regulating the levels of hepcidin (the main hormone of iron homeostasis), reducing ferritin synthesis, as well as exhibiting anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. The efficacy of the drug monotherapy in patients with hyperferritinemia was shown. Conclusion. Laennec® was found to be one of the medicines contributing to the reduction of hyperferritinemia manifestations, iron metabolism disorders, and systemic inflammatory process in NAFLD.","PeriodicalId":36464,"journal":{"name":"Farmakoekonomika","volume":"118 27","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135137064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and methods. The study design was a retrospective analysis of publications and modeling. The previously performed pharmacoeconomic study was updated considering a decrease in the cost of pembrolizumab after the generic form was released on the market and actualization of calculated target population. Cost minimization analysis was carried out and the impact on the healthcare system budget was estimated when treating all NSCLC patients provided with PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitors in the second and third lines of therapy with atezolizumab. For calculations, we used registered prices according to the state register of maximum selling prices and average weighted marginal wholesale markup according to the Federal Antimonopoly Service. Results. In the cost minimization analysis, atezolizumab showed greater clinical and economic efficiency, its use reduces costs by 28.6% over 3 years compared to nivolumab and by 8.8% compared to pembrolizumab in the second and third lines of NSCLC therapy. The budget impact analysis demonstrated that if all patients in the target group currently receiving various PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the second and third lines of NSCLC therapy were initially provided with atezolizumab, it would reduce the budget load over 3 years by 11.6%, or by 722.4 mln rubles. Conclusion. The use of atezolizumab is pharmacoeconomically justified and feasible compared to nivolumab and pembrolizumab, even after a release of the generic version of the latter, and will reduce the costs of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the second and third lines of NSCLC therapy.","PeriodicalId":36464,"journal":{"name":"Farmakoekonomika","volume":"120 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The global recommendations for the treatment strategy of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) include the empirical prescription of antibiotic therapy (ABT) – beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, macrolides until the results of laboratory tests are obtained to identify the etiological agent responsible for CAP to determine etiotropic therapy. According to the national Russian clinical guidelines, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins and aminopenicillins are recommended for empirical prescription. Meta-analyses found better outcomes in patients treated with a combination of macrolides with beta-lactam compared to beta-lactam alone. At the same time, the clinical benefit of adding macrolides to beta-lactams for the empirical treatment of moderate CAP remains controversial, since the difference in the results of therapy may depend on the age and comorbid conditions of patients. Objective: to analyze the costs of treating CAP with various ABT strategies in order to optimize the cost structure of a medical organization and plan the budget of local healthcare systems. Material and methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of extracts from 157 medical records of middle-aged patients in accordance with the World Health Organization classification treated in multidisciplinary medical organizations was carried out. The methods included frequency analysis, cost of illness analysis, cost minimization analysis, and cost-effectiveness analysis. Depth of research was 2 years. Results. Frequency analysis revealed that the initial strategy of ceftriaxone and azithromycin combination (n=74; 47%) prevailed in prescriptions. In terms of the rate of prescriptions, ceftriaxone monotherapy (n=37; 24%) was in the second place. The analysis of the effectiveness of the selected ABT strategies showed that, in general, 113 (72%) of prescriptions were effective. Standard therapy strategies were equivalent in absolute costs and had a similar cost structure. Conclusion . Doctors’ adherence to national clinical guidelines for CAP treatment was found when prescribing the initial empirical ABT, the dominant strategies were identified. Cost of illness analysis demonstrated that the applied strategies were optimal in terms of cost minimization, and cost-effectiveness ratio. The costs structure in therapy with various ABT strategies did not have significant differences. In medical organizations, they adhere to the most rational and cost-effective strategy for CAP treatment and prescribe ABT regimens in each individual case based on risk factors, as well as the results of studies of CAP pathogens sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":36464,"journal":{"name":"Farmakoekonomika","volume":"118 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical and economic analysis of combined standard therapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists in combination with dapagliflozin (a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) in the treatment of patients with CHFrEF was carried out. The effectiveness criteria were the number of prevented cardiovascular (CV) deaths and the percentage of the contribution to the achievement of the target indicator to reduce mortality from circulatory diseases within the framework of the regional program “Health care development”. In order to determine the economic feasibility of quadritherapy, direct medical costs for the implemented technology were calculated, the cost of one prevented CV death was determined based on the values of the number needed to treat (NNT) indicator. Budget impact analysis was performed which allowed to build two analytical models. Results . It was shown that the use of quadritherapy can significantly contribute to achieving the target indicator by additionally preventing 512 CV deaths by 2024, which will make it possible to fulfill up to 74.74% of the indicator set by the MR state program “Health care of the Moscow Region” (451.4 persons per 100 thousand population). Using quadruple therapy in 1000 target patients during the first year will prevent 11 CV deaths (NNT 90 persons). The cost of one prevented CV death was 3.860 million rubles. The budget impact analysis made it possible to determine that when CHF patients switch from standard treatment regimens to quadritherapy, including in combination with a drug of the angiotensin/neprilysin receptor inhibitor group (valsartan + sacubitril), this will entail an increase in healthcare system budget costs by 18.8%.

In recent decades, a course of chemotherapy with etoposide (EP) and platinum preparations (сarboplatinum, CP) has been recommended as a standard first-line treatment option in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but with the advent of new immunological drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, approaches to therapy have changed. Based on randomized clinical trials, courses combining traditional platinum-containing chemotherapy with inhibitors of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) atezolizumab (ATZ) or durvalumab (Durv) have been included in many clinical recommendations for oncologists. Objective: to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of using ATZ and Durv as first-line therapy in advanced SCLC adult patients within the Russian healthcare system. Material and methods. The model of treatment of advanced SCLC adult patients in conditions of the healthcare system of the Russian Federation included the most popular options for first-line immunochemotherapy: CP/EP + ATZ and CP/EP + Durv courses. Pharmacoeconomic cost-effectiveness analysis, sensitivity analysis of the selected model to changes in its initial parameters, budget impact analysis were carried out. Results. The total medical costs for CP/EP + ATZ course (2,310,546.07 rubles) were significantly lower than for the CP/EP + Durv course (4,081,833.98 rubles). With comparable costs for the treatment of complications (426,175.17 and 407,704.50 rubles, respectively), the cost of Durv exceeded ATZ by 94.8%. When conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis, the advantage was retained by the CP/EP + ATZ course, the cost-effectiveness ratios for which amounted to 187,849.27 rubles per month of patient's life and 444,335.78 rubles per month of patient's life without progression (for CP/EP + Durv, 316,421.24 and 800,359.60 rubles, respectively). When choosing the CP/ET + ATZ strategy, the savings will be 128,571.96 rubles per month of life and 356,023.82 rubles per month of life without progression. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the stability of the developed model: to increase in the price of the CP/EP + ATZ course up to +68%; to decrease in overall survival with the course of CP/EP + ATZ up to –40%; to decrease in progression-free survival with the course of CP/EP + ATZ to –44%.
