: To provide recommendations for addressing previously identified key challenges in health economic evaluations of Gene Replacement Therapies (GRTs), including: 1) the assessment of clinical effectiveness; 2) the valuation of health outcomes; 3) the time horizon and extrapolation of effects beyond trial duration; 4) the estimation of costs; 5) the selection of appropriate discount rates; 6) the incorporation of broader elements of value; and 7) affordability. : A literature review on economic evaluations of GRT was performed. Interviews were conducted with 8 European and US health economic experts with experience in evaluations of GRT. Targeted literature reviews were conducted to investigate further potential solutions to specific challenges. : Experts agreed on factors to be considered to ensure the acceptability of historical cohorts by HTA bodies. Existing prospective registries or, if not available, retrospective registries, may be used to analyse different disease trajectories and inform extrapolations. The importance of expert opinion due to limited data was acknowledged. Expert opinion should be obtained using structured elicitation techniques. Broader elements of value, beyond health gains directly related to treatment, can be considered through the application of a factor to inflate the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) or a higher cost-effectiveness threshold. Additionally, the use of cost-benefit analysis and saved young life equivalents (SAVE) were proposed as alternatives to QALYs for the valuations of outcomes of GRT as they can incorporate broader elements of value and avoid problems of eliciting utilities for paediatric diseases. : While some of the limitations of economic evaluations of GRT are inherent to limited clinical data and lack of experience with these treatments, others may be addressed by methodological research to be conducted by health economists.
为解决基因替代疗法(GRT)健康经济评估中先前确定的关键挑战提供建议,包括:1)临床有效性评估;2)健康结果的估值;3)时间范围以及试验持续时间之外效应的外推;4)成本估算;5)适当贴现率的选择;6)纳入更广泛的价值要素;7)可承受性。
对GRT的经济评估进行了文献综述。对8位有GRT评估经验的欧美健康经济专家进行了访谈。进行了有针对性的文献综述,以进一步研究针对特定挑战的潜在解决方案。
专家们就确保卫生技术评估机构接受历史队列所应考虑的因素达成了一致。现有的前瞻性登记册,或者在没有的情况下,回顾性登记册,可用于分析不同的疾病轨迹并为外推提供信息。认识到由于数据有限,专家意见很重要。应使用结构化诱导技术获取专家意见。除了与治疗直接相关的健康收益之外,更广泛的价值要素可以通过应用一个系数来提高质量调整生命年(QALY)或采用更高的成本效益阈值来考虑。此外,建议使用成本效益分析和挽救年轻生命当量(SAVE)作为QALY的替代方法,用于评估GRT的结果,因为它们可以纳入更广泛的价值要素,并避免为儿科疾病得出效用值时的问题。
虽然GRT经济评估的一些局限性是临床数据有限和缺乏这些治疗经验所固有的,但其他一些局限性可能可通过卫生经济学家进行的方法学研究来解决。
