To evaluate, from a US payer perspective, the cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), we performed a systematic review of published cost-effectiveness analyses. We identified 14 papers that fulfilled our search criteria and revealed varying levels of value among current treatment strategies. Older agents such as 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin provide high-value treatments. More modern agents targeting the EGFR or VEGF pathways, such as bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab, do not appear to be cost-effective treatments at their current costs. The analytical methods used within the papers varied widely, and this variation likely plays a significant role in the heterogeneity in incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. The cost-effectiveness of current treatment strategies for mCRC is highly variable. Drugs recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for mCRC are not cost-effective, and this is primarily driven by high drug costs.
为从美国医保支付方的角度评估转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)治疗策略的成本效益,我们对已发表的成本效益分析进行了系统综述。我们识别出14篇符合检索标准的论文,这些论文揭示了当前治疗策略中不同程度的价值。诸如5-氟尿嘧啶、伊立替康和奥沙利铂等较老的药物提供了高价值的治疗。更多针对表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)或血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)通路的现代药物,如贝伐单抗、西妥昔单抗和帕尼单抗,按其当前成本似乎并非具有成本效益的治疗方法。论文中使用的分析方法差异很大,这种差异可能在增量成本效益比的异质性中起重要作用。mCRC当前治疗策略的成本效益高度可变。美国食品药品监督管理局最近批准用于mCRC的药物不具有成本效益,这主要是由高昂的药物成本驱动的。
