Administration costs of intravenous chemotherapy in treating peripheral T-cell lymphoma

Aim: To understand the burden of treatment-naive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in November 2020 following best practice methodology. Results: Fifty-five clinical studies were included, mostly investigating cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) or ‘CHOP-like’ regimens, with combination regimens showing similar effectiveness to CHOP alone. Aside from the combination of brentuximab vedotin + cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (A+CHP), other available treatments showed no statistically significant benefit over CHOP in terms of overall or progression-free survival in overall PTCL patients. The mean monthly cost per patient in the USA ranged from $6328 to $9356 based on six studies. One economic evaluation demonstrated A+CHP to be a more cost-effective treatment option than CHOP. Conclusion: Further research is needed to understand the humanistic and cost impact of frontline treatment for PTCL and its specific subtypes.

Objective: To evaluate treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs among peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients in the USA. Methods: A retrospective cohort study, using the IQVIA PharMetrics® Plus claims database from 1 April 2011 to 30 November 2021, identified PTCL patients receiving systemic treatments. Three mutually exclusive subcohorts were created based on line of therapy (LOT): 1LOT, 2LOT and ≥3LOT. Common treatment regimens, median time on treatment, all-cause and PTCL-related HRU and costs were estimated. Results: Among 189 PTCL patients identified, 61.9% had 1LOT, 21.7% had 2LOT and 16.4% had ≥3LOT. The most common treatment regimens in the 1LOT were CHOP/CHOP-like, CHOEP/CHOEP-like and brentuximab vedotin; monotherapies were most common in the 2LOT and ≥3LOT. All-cause and PTCL-related hospitalizations and prescriptions PPPM increased with increasing LOT. Nearly 70% of total treatment costs were PTCL related. Conclusion: Higher utilization of combination therapies in the 1LOT and monotherapies in subsequent LOTs were observed, alongside high PTCL-related costs.
