Prospective Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Cetuximab in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Evaluation of National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group CO.17 Trial

Abstract: The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of cetuximab over best supportive care alone in unselected advanced colorectal cancer patients is high and sensitive to drug cost. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were lower when the analysis was limited to patients with wild-type KRAS tumors.

“…For example, a randomised trial of cetuximab in advanced colorectal cancer demonstrated a modest survival benefit and a modest improvement in quality of life from cetuximab compared with best supportive care. But the benefit was reduced by around one third when expressed in terms of quality-adjusted survival time [52] based the uQoL data that had been collected from patients via an instrument with a utility-scoring system that reflected the perspective of the general population. The cost-effectiveness of life prolonging therapies in patient populations with compromised QoL therefore has the potential to appear less attractive (i.e.…”

“…Nevertheless, health economic evaluations of the procedure conducted with cost-utility studies and cost-effective analyses seemed initially unconvincing. In the molecular unselected population, a National Cancer Institute of Canada prospective cost-effective analysis of cetuximab compared with best supportive care alone for pretreated CRC patients enrolled in the CO.17 trial 49 showed an unacceptable incremental cost-effectiveness ratio close to 200,00 USD per with the incremental cost-utility ratio of 300,00 USD per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained 50 . When repeating such economic analyses in the KRAS wild-type population, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio life-year gained and the incremental costutility ratio per QALY gained figures, although reduced by approximately 40%, still remained above the generally accepted threshold of 100,000 USD per QALY 50 .…”

“…Il trattamento con cetuximab è accettato dal NHS scozzese, limitatamente ai pazienti che non hanno ricevuto precedentemente una chemioterapia, inizialmente non resecabili, ma che potrebbero diventarlo a seguito del trattamento. La raccomandazione di cetuximab è vincolata alla formalizzazione • Tassi di idoneità alla resezione chirurgica aggiornati da studi CELIM e GERCOR • Tasso di fallimento della resezione chirurgica: 5% [167] di un PAS (Patient Access Scheme), ossia uno sconto sul prezzo di cetuximab (non dichiarato esplicitamente nel documento), che ne migliora il profilo di costo-efficacia. Nel complesso, SMC riconosce formalmente l'evidenza di miglioramento della sopravvivenza libera da progressione e della sopravvivenza globale riscontrata negli studi registrativi, ma ritiene tale miglioramento modesto da un punto di vista clinico.…”

“…Nel 2009 Mittmann et al hanno condotto un'analisi farmacoeconomica [167] di cetuximab utilizzando i dati provenienti dallo studio CO.17, uno studio clinico randomizzato che ha confrontato cetuximab + migliore terapia di supporto (BSC; n = 283) rispetto BSC (n = 274). Nello specifico, è stata condotta un'analisi di costo-utilità tra le due alternative, impiegando la prospettiva del Cetuximab nel trattamento di prima linea del carcinoma metastatico del colon-retto zialmente due: innanzitutto il trial clinico CO.17 valuta cetuximab in seconda linea, nei pazienti chemotherapy refractory, inoltre l'orizzonte temporale adottato, pari al tempo di follow-up dello studio, è limitato.…”
