Analysis of cost-effectiveness of amivantamab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer
From the perspective of China’s healthcare system, to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of amivantamab combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for patients with
EGFR
-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who experience disease progression during or after treatment with osimertinib monotherapy.
METHODS
2
The Markov model was established according to MARIPOSA-2 clinical trial. The simulation time limit was 10 years and the cycle period lasted for 21 days. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER) of amivantamab combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for the treatment of
EGFR
-mutated advanced NSCLC was calculated, and the
n compared with the willingness-to-pay(WTP) threshold set in this study[3 times the per capita gross domestic product(GDP) of China in 2023, which was 268 200 yuan per quality-adjusted life year(QALY)
]
, in order to assess its cost-effectiveness. Single-factor sensitivity analysis and probability sensitivity analysis were performed to evaluate the stability of the model; scenario analysis was carried out to determine the potential price of amivantamab at which the regimen became cost-effective.
RESULTS
2
Compared with chemotherapy alone, the cost of amivantamab combined with chemotherapy was higher (1 248 411.60 yuan vs. 89 023.39 yuan), but at the same time, there were also more benefits of survival (0.756 QALY vs. 0.584 QALY), ICER was 6 757 285.38 yuan/QALY. ICER was most affected by the utility of progression-free survival and the price of amivantamab. The price of amivantamab decreased to 310.3 yuan per 350 mg, and the combination therapy became cost-effective, compared with chemotherapy alone.
CONCLUSIONS
2
From the perspective of Chinese health system, when the WTP threshold is set at three times the per capita GDP of the Chinese population in 2023, amivantamab combined with chemotherapy is not cost-effective for
EGFR
-mutated advanced NSCLC; the patients’ affordability can be improved when the price of amivantamab experiences a significant decrease.
