In sub-Saharan Africa, HIV-infected adults who fail second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) often do not have access to third-line ART. We examined the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of making third-line ART available in Côte d'Ivoire.
We used a simulation model to compare 4 strategies after second-line ART failure: continue second-line ART (C-ART2), continue second-line ART with an adherence reinforcement intervention (AR-ART2), immediate switch to third-line ART (IS-ART3), and continue second-line ART with adherence reinforcement, switching patients with persistent failure to third-line ART (AR-ART3). Third-line ART consisted of a boosted-darunavir plus raltegravir-based regimen. Primary outcomes were 10-year survival and lifetime incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), in $/year of life saved (YLS). ICERs below $3585 (3 times the country per capita gross domestic product) were considered cost-effective.
Ten-year survival was 6.0% with C-ART2, 17.0% with AR-ART2, 35.4% with IS-ART3, and 37.2% with AR-ART3. AR-ART2 was cost-effective ($1100/YLS). AR-ART3 had an ICER of $3600/YLS and became cost-effective if the cost of third-line ART decreased by <1%. IS-ART3 was less effective and more costly than AR-ART3. Results were robust to wide variations in the efficacy of third-line ART and of the adherence reinforcement, as well as in the cost of second-line ART.
Access to third-line ART combined with an intense adherence reinforcement phase, used as a tool to distinguish between patients who can still benefit from their current second-line regimen and those who truly need third-line ART would provide substantial survival benefits. With minor decreases in drug costs, this strategy would be cost-effective.
在撒哈拉以南非洲,二线抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)失败的 HIV 感染者通常无法获得三线 ART。我们研究了在科特迪瓦提供三线 ART 的临床影响和成本效益。
我们使用模拟模型比较了二线 ART 失败后的 4 种策略:继续二线 ART(C-ART2)、继续二线 ART 并加强依从性干预(AR-ART2)、立即转为三线 ART(IS-ART3)和继续二线 ART 并加强依从性,将持续失败的患者转为三线 ART(AR-ART3)。三线 ART 包括一种增效达芦那韦/利托那韦联合拉替拉韦方案。主要结局是 10 年生存率和终生增量成本效益比(ICER),以每挽救 1 年生命的成本(YLS)表示。ICER 低于 3585 美元(是该国人均国内生产总值的 3 倍)被认为具有成本效益。
C-ART2 的 10 年生存率为 6.0%,AR-ART2 为 17.0%,IS-ART3 为 35.4%,AR-ART3 为 37.2%。AR-ART2 具有成本效益(1100 美元/YLS)。AR-ART3 的 ICER 为 3600 美元/YLS,如果三线 ART 的成本降低不到 1%,则具有成本效益。IS-ART3 比 AR-ART3 效果差且成本高。结果在三线 ART 和依从性强化的疗效以及二线 ART 的成本方面存在广泛变化时仍然稳健。
获得三线 ART 并结合强化依从性阶段,作为区分仍能从当前二线方案中获益和真正需要三线 ART 的患者的工具,可以显著提高生存率。随着药物成本的微小下降,这种策略将具有成本效益。
