Recently, several clinical trials demonstrated that some patients with CML-CP who achieve a sustained MMR on tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy can safely discontinue their therapy and attempt treatment-free remission (TFR). Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and economic impact of TFR in naive patients with CML-CP who start treatment with nilotinib, imatinib or dasatinib as first-line therapy, from the perspective of the Italian National Health Service (NHS). Methods: An Excel-based budget impact model was developed, in order to estimate the costs of the patients in first-line pharmacological treatment with CML. A specific Markov model was built, to simulate seven years of treatment with different TKIs. A systematic literature review was carried out, to identify the epidemiological and economic data, which were subsequently used to inform the model. The model considers two scenarios: 1) a Standard of Care (SoC) scenario, with the current estimated distribution of patients over the various TKI treatment, versus 2) an innovative scenario, characterized by an increase in the use of nilotinib (+28%) and generic imatinib (+35%) and a decrease in the use of dasatinib (-17%). A one-way deterministic sensitivity analysis was performed, in order to consider the variability of the results as a function of the main parameters considered in the model. Results: The model estimated that 775 patients with CML-CP could be treated with a TKI as first-line drug. The innovative scenario could increase TFR patients by approximately 60% and reduce the costs by more than € 30 million over 7 years. The increase in the use of nilotinib and the generic imatinib would generate a significant expenditure reduction. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the economic effects of discontinuing TKIs in CML-CP patients. The increase in the use of nilotinib and the generic imatinib could generate an increase in the number of patients who achieve TFR, as well as an actual cost reduction.","PeriodicalId":41585,"journal":{"name":"Farmeconomia-Health Economics and Therapeutic Pathways","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2017-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89145987","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}

Apixaban, a Novel Oral Anticoagulant (NOAC) has shown non-inferiority efficacy versus the current standard of care (low molecular weight heparin [LMWH]/vitamin K antagonist [VKA]) in the acute treatment and prevention of VTE and a significant reduction in the risk of bleeding. AIM: Evaluate the economic impact of the use of apixaban for treatment and prevention of DVT and PE from the perspective of the Italian National Health System (NHS). METHODS: A budget impact model was adapted in order to compare clinical outcomes and economic consequences associated to apixaban vs. LMWH/VKA and others NOACs over a three-year time horizon in the Italian setting. In the analysis two scenario were compared: status quo scenario without apixaban and an alternative scenario with apixaban. Only direct healthcare costs have been considered. RESULTS: Assuming a population of patients receiving apixaban over the first 3 years equal to 20,957, the introduction of apixaban is associated to an incremental saving of € 821,748 in the first years, € 1,250,454 in the second year, and € 1,866,466 in the third year. The total net saving over the 3-year period is € 3,938,668, which is a 2.47% decrease from the total budget for the status quo scenario without apixaban. This saving is mainly due to reduced VTE events and bleeds by apixaban. Indeed apixaban is associated with less VTE events (both fatal and non-fatal), less major bleeding and less Clinical Relevant Non Major (CRNM) bleeding with a total of 52 fatal events avoided. CONCLUSIONS: The listing of apixaban for the treatment of VTE (both DVT and PE) and the prevention of recurrent VTE provides both significant clinical advantages, in terms of deaths and events avoided, and economical advantages, consisting in a reduction in the total expenditure on the Italian NHS.","PeriodicalId":41585,"journal":{"name":"Farmeconomia-Health Economics and Therapeutic Pathways","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2016-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87881552","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}

For ablation to be successful, patients must have elevated levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). This can be achieved by withholding thyroid hormone therapy (endogenous stimulation), or by administration of recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone (rhTSH; Thyrogen ® ; exogenous stimulation) to patients in the euthyroid state. AIM: To compare the estimated health benefits, cost and cost-effectiveness of TSH stimulation with and without Thyrogen ® in the Italian setting. METHODS: A cost-utility analysis was undertaken to assess the impact of exogenous vs. endogenous TSH stimulation before radioiodine remnant ablation of patients with newly diagnosed, well-differentiated papillary or follicular thyroid cancer who have undergone total or near-total thyroidectomy. A Markov model was developed to simulate treatment costs and health outcomes associated with exogenous and endogenous stimulation in four distinct health states: pre-ablation, ablation, post-ablation, and well/recovery. Treatment was stratified by patients who receive high- and low-activity (30-100 mCi, respectively) in the ablation state. The Italian National Health System perspective was adopted in the base case scenario while the impact of indirect costs was explored in a sensitivity analysis. Costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) specific to each health state were estimated, summarized and converted into a corresponding incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). RESULTS: We calculated a cost-effectiveness ratio of 18,357.18 €/QALY gained whereas the inclusion of indirect cost and accident cost produced reductions of the ICER to € 14,609.51 and € 15,515.26 per QALY, respectively. Finally, all results in the sensitivity analysis are below the lower bound of national and international cost- effective threshold. CONCLUSION: Thyrogen ® represents a cost-effective option for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent total or near-total thyroidectomy in Italy. Our findings are consistent with other cost-utility analyses.","PeriodicalId":41585,"journal":{"name":"Farmeconomia-Health Economics and Therapeutic Pathways","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2016-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87754410","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}

Dabigatran is the first-in-class of the so-called new oral anticoagulants (NAO), that have been made available in recent years in addition to traditionally-used vitamin K antagonists (VKA). Idarucizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to dabigatran, neutralizing its anticoagulant effect. OBJECTIVE: To assess the economic effect of idarucizumab in patients treated with dabigatran when the rapid reversal of its anticoagulant effect is required. METHODS: The analysis was carried over through the development of a budget impact model specifically adapted to the context of Italian care. The analysis was conducted along a time horizon of five years. The target population was defined by those patients on dabigatran treatment presenting uncontrolled and life-threatening bleedings (gastro-intestinal, intracranial or other) or requiring emergency surgery or urgent procedures. The estimation of healthcare resources (i.e. diagnostic procedures, medications, and other in-hospital services) needed for the management of uncontrolled bleeding and emergency surgery in patients treated with dabigatran was obtained from a panel of five Italian Clinical Experts. Unit costs were derived from current prices and tariffs. RESULTS: The total cost of management with the current therapeutic modalities ranged from € 16.5 million in year 1 to € 20.1 million in year 5. In the scenario with idarucizumab the total cost ranged from € 15.4 million in year 1 to € 18.7 million in year 5. The adoption of idarucizumab resulted in a cumulative 5-year savings of 6.5 million euro corresponding to 7.1% of the total expense. CONCLUSION: Idarucizumab for the management of patients treated with dabigatran in emergency / urgent situations has the potential for substantial savings, compared to treatments currently available.

METHODS: The cost-of-illness approach was used to estimate the cost of care in a hospital setting in Jamaica for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, osteoarthritis, and high cholesterol. Cost and service utilization data were collected from the hospital records of all patients with these diseases who visited the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) during 2006. Patients were included in the study if they were between15 and 74 years of age and if female, were not pregnant during that year. Costs were categorized as direct or indirect. Direct costs included costs for prescription drugs, consultation visits (emergency and clinic visits), hospitalizations, allied health services, diagnostic and treatment procedures. Indirect costs included costs attributed to premature mortality, disability (permanent and temporary), and absenteeism. Indirect costs were discounted at 3% rate. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 554 patients (40%) males (60%) females. The economic burden of the nine diseases was estimated at US$ 5,672,618 (males 37%; females 63%) and the portion attributable to obesity amounted to US$ 1,157,173 (males 23%; females 77%).

However, several unmet needs are still relevant in RRMS. Recently, a new therapy, delayed-release dimethyl-fumarate (DMF; also known as gastro-resistant DMF), has been approved and reimbursed by the Italian Drug Agency (AIFA) for the treatment of RRMS. OBJECTIVE: To compare the cost-effectiveness of DMF vs. pharmacological alternatives indicated for the first-line treatment of RRMS in Italy. METHODS: The analysis was conducted from the perspective of the Italian National Healthcare Service (NHS) and outcomes and costs were evaluated over a 50-year time horizon (equivalent to a lifetime horizon). Both outcomes and costs were discounted at 3.5%. The Markov model estimates the clinical and economic consequences of treating RRMS patients with the following therapeutic options: DMF, interferon (IFN) beta-1a intramuscular (IM); IFN beta-1a subcutaneous (SC) at two different doses, 22 mcg and 44 mcg; IFN beta-1b SC; glatiramer acetate (GA) SC 20 mg; oral teriflunomide. Clinical efficacy data used in this analysis came from an elaboration of the mixed treatment comparison (MTC) already published. According to the Italian NHS perspective, only the following direct costs were considered: pharmacological treatment acquisition, treatment monitoring, relapse management, direct costs associated with disability, adverse event management. Administration costs were assumed equal to €0, because every treatment included in the economic analysis can be self-administered. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were developed and cost effectiveness acceptability curves generated. RESULTS: In the base-case analysis, DMF was more efficacious than alternatives, in terms of both survival (19.496 vs. 19.297-19.461 discounted LYs, respectively), and QALYs (6.548 vs. 5.172- 6.212 discounted QALYs, respectively). Per-patient lifetime costs with DMF amounted to € 276,500, similarly to the other options. DMF was the drug with the largest effect of disability cost reduction. DMF was dominant vs. IFN beta-1a 44 mcg and cost-effective vs. all other IFNs, GA and teriflunomide, with incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICERs) between € 11,272 and € 23,409. All ICER values were lower than the € 50,000 per QALY threshold. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that, for all tested scenarios, ICER of DMF vs. therapeutic alternatives remained favourable (≤ 50.000 €/QALY gained) and the results of probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the probability for DMF of being favourable (≤ 50.000 €/QALY gained) was between around 70% and 93%, thus ensuring robustness of the results. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this economic analysis show that, at the current price and the described assumptions, DMF represents a cost-effective option vs. other available first-line treatments indicated in RRMS in the perspective of the Italian NHS","PeriodicalId":41585,"journal":{"name":"Farmeconomia-Health Economics and Therapeutic Pathways","volume":"49 1","pages":"67-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2016-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86917894","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}
