Cost-Effectiveness of Deferasirox (Exjade®) Versus No Chelation In Patients with Lower Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): A Canadian Perspective
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Abstract 4962 Introduction: Guidelines for the treatment of MDS recommend iron chelation therapy (ICT) in iron-overloaded lower-risk patients with MDS and candidates for stem cell transplantation. In particular, recent reports indicate that ICT may improve overall survival (OS) in transfusion-dependent patients with low or intermediate-1 (int-1) MDS as per international prognostic scoring system (IPSS) criteria. Deferasirox is a once-daily oral chelator, with easy administration and potentially better compliance. The goal of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of deferasirox compared to receiving no chelation therapy in transfusion-dependent patients with lower-risk MDS from a Canadian healthcare system perspective. Methods: A Markov model was developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of deferasirox compared to receiving no chelation therapy in transfusion-dependent patients with lower-risk (eg, IPSS low or int-1) MDS. The data used in the model were obtained from published or presented studies. Model outcomes, including life years (LY) gained, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained, developing complications of iron overload, progressing to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), death, and direct medical costs of ICT, transfusion, complications and AML, were estimated for each treatment group based on a simulation of 1000 patient lives. Finally, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) were calculated as the ratio of total medical costs to LY and QALY gains. Extensive one-way sensitivity analyses were performed to examine the effects of changes in key model parameters. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses were also performed. The outcomes of the model were evaluated over a 20-year time frame and discounted annually at the rate of 5%. Costs are reported in 2009 Canadian dollars (CAD$). Results: Under base case assumptions, patients receiving deferasirox were less likely to progress to cardiac disease, AML, and death compared to patients receiving no chelation therapy. Adding deferasirox was projected to increase OS by 4.46 years (undiscounted); discounting for time, OS was projected to be increased by 2.93 years. Furthermore, undiscounted QALYs were increased by 4.20 years and discounted QALYs, by 2.99 years. The clinical benefits of deferasirox are obtained at an additional expected discounted total lifetime cost of CAD$185,429. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were therefore estimated to be CAD$62,001/QALY gained and CAD$63,286/LY saved. Deterministic sensitivity analyses showed the base case results to be robust with respect to variations in assumptions and estimates. The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve shows that deferasirox was preferred to no treatment in 96% of simulations when the willingness to pay for a QALY was CAD$100,000. Conclusion: The results of our analysis indicate that deferasirox offers a cost-effective treatment option for patients with lower-risk MDS as the ICER is within the thresholds that are considered acceptable (ie, $50,000 to $100,000 per QALY gained), from a Canadian healthcare system perspective. Additional clinical studies are ongoing to evaluate event-free survival with deferasirox in patients with lower-risk MDS and transfusional iron overload.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
