BACKGROUND: Work productivity loss (WPL) is a major contributor to the indirect costs of psoriasis. Newer biologic therapies are effective at reducing disease symptoms and improving quality of life, but their impact on WPL and associated indirect cost savings compared to previously approved biologic therapies is largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of guselkumab and adalimumab on WPL and associated indirect cost savings in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. METHODS: Using data from the VOYAGE 1 (NCT02207231) trial, improvements from baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) work/study domain scores were compared for patients receiving guselkumab or adalimumab at 24 and 48 weeks of treatment. Improvements in WPL and associated cost savings were calculated using a previously established DLQI-WPL algorithm. RESULTS: Among patients who could not work/study at baseline (DLQI work/study domain score = 3), a significantly greater proportion of guselkumab-treated patients could work/study without problems (DLQI work/study domain score = 0) than adalimumab-treated patients at Weeks 24 and 48. Improvements from baseline in WPL and associated cost savings were greater with guselkumab than with adalimumab at Week 48. CONCLUSIONS: Guselkumab was superior to adalimumab for improvement in WPL and associated indirect cost savings, and its use may reduce the economic burden of psoriasis.
背景:工作生产力损失(WPL)是银屑病间接成本的主要因素。新型生物疗法在减轻疾病症状和提高生活质量方面非常有效,但它们对 WPL 的影响以及与之前批准的生物疗法相比的间接成本节约情况在很大程度上尚未可知。
目的:比较古塞库单抗和阿达木单抗对中重度银屑病患者 WPL 和相关间接成本节约的影响。
方法:使用 VOYAGE 1(NCT02207231)试验的数据,比较接受古塞库单抗或阿达木单抗治疗的患者在治疗 24 和 48 周时在皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)工作/学习领域评分方面的基线改善情况。使用之前建立的 DLQI-WPL 算法计算 WPL 的改善情况和相关成本节约。
结果:在基线无法工作/学习的患者中(DLQI 工作/学习领域评分=3),与阿达木单抗治疗的患者相比,在第 24 和 48 周时,接受古塞库单抗治疗的患者中有更大比例的患者能够无问题地工作/学习(DLQI 工作/学习领域评分=0)。与阿达木单抗相比,古塞库单抗在第 48 周时在 WPL 和相关成本节约方面的改善更大。
结论:古塞库单抗在改善 WPL 和相关间接成本节约方面优于阿达木单抗,其使用可能会降低银屑病的经济负担。
