    Abstract Background: recently, stem cell mobilization has made dramatic progress, that ended up in an increasing number of aphereses at target for autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The aim of this research is investigating the cost-effectiveness of stem cell mobilization.
    Methods: a narrative review of the literature was carried out, searching for primary contributions written in English and published during 2000-2023 on cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of stem cell mobilization in patients entitled to ASCT. The PubMed database was searched with the following sets of keywords: cost-effectiveness AND apheresis AND myeloma (PubMed_1); cost-effectiveness AND stem cell mobilization (PubMed_2). Articles included in the analysis were assessed via two different checklists.
    Results: sixty-six entries were retrieved. Five out of 66 (PubMed_1: 4 out 17; PubMed_2: 1 out of 49), 4 CEAs and 1 cost-utility analysis (CUA) fit the research goal. Four out of 5 contributions proved to be in line with most of the items included in the two assessment grids. However, the most relevant missing features in some of the included contributions were: study perspective, healthcare resources valuation, and sensitivity analyses.
    Discussion: most of the articles included in this research show that chemotherapy-free stem cell mobilization is cost-effective according to different standpoints. Future health economic research on this topic should establish local threshold values for incremental apheresis at target and explore the heterogeneity of CEA (and CUA) to determine oncohaematological diseases and patient categories for which chemotherapy-free stem cell mobilization is cost-effective in different healthcare systems, given local budget constraints.

  6. Article ; Online: Inebilizumab for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders in Italy: a budget impact model.

    Abstract Background: The Italian National Health Service (INHS) has recently reimbursed the monoclonal antibody inebilizumab as a second line monotherapy after rituximab (RTX) use for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) patients ≥ 18 years anti-aquaporin 4 antibody-immunoglobulin G positive, who experienced a relapse in the last year or cannot receive RTX, if incident patients. Other INHS-reimbursed drugs for NMOSD treatment are satralizumab, eculizumab and, off-label, besides RTX, ocrelizumab, tocilizumab, and immunosuppressants.
    Research design and methods: A 3-year (2023-2025) prevalence-based budget impact model following the INHS viewpoint compared the costs and the NMOSD attacks without (1st scenario) and with inebilizumab (2nd scenario). The epidemiology of NMOSD, and the INHS-funded healthcare resources (drugs and their administration; specialist visits; hospitalizations due to drug-related adverse events and NMOSD attacks) were obtained from the literature. One-way, threshold value and scenario sensitivity analyses investigated the robustness of the baseline findings.
    Results: During 2023-2025 inebilizumab saves the INHS €8,373,125.13 (1st scenario: €176,770,028.63; 2nd scenario: €168,396,903.50) and 12.74 NMOSD attacks (1st scenario: 213.94; 2nd scenario: 201.19). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the baseline results.
    Conclusion: Inebilizumab reduces the INHS expenditure for NMOSD drugs. Future research should explore the cost-effectiveness of inebilizumab vs other NMOSD-targeting drugs in Italy.

    Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) accounts for 176 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (female/male ratio = 2:1) in Italy. For most of the patients (67%), the disease course is relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).
    Objective: To compare the costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of teriflunomide in RRMS naïve patients vs. RRMS patients previously treated (experienced) with other disease-modifying therapies in Italy.
    Methods: A four health states Markov model-supported cost-utility analysis (CUA) covering a 7-year timespan through annual cycles was developed, following the healthcare sector and the societal viewpoints. Part of the parameters that populated the Markov model was obtained from a questionnaire administered to four primary Italian MS centres. Costs of healthcare and non-healthcare resources, expressed in euro (€) 2019, and QALYs were discounted at 3% real social discount rate. One-way, scenario and probabilistic sensitivity analyses tested the uncertainty of the baseline findings.
    Results: Baseline CUA shows that teriflunomide in RRMS naïve patients is strongly dominant vs. experienced patients (healthcare sector perspective: - €1042.68 and + 0.480 QALYs; societal perspective: - €6782.81 and + 0.480 QALYs). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the baseline results.
    Conclusion: Teriflunomide in RRMS naïve vs. experienced patients is cost-effective and possibly strongly dominant from both the healthcare sector and the society viewpoints in Italy. Our findings need further confirmation from real-world studies.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the cost utility of STN1013001, a latanoprost cationic emulsion, versus Latanoprost in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OAG/OHT) and concomitant ocular surface disease (OSD) in France.
    Methods: An early Markov model, including 7 health states and a 1-year cycle length, was developed to estimate the cost utility of STN1013001 versus Latanoprost from the French health system perspective over a 5-year time horizon. The model was populated with pooled data (treatment adherence, quality of life, disease progression, and resource utilization) collected, via a questionnaire, from a convenience sample of 5 French glaucoma specialists. Remaining data were retrieved from published sources. Half-cycle correction and 2.5% real social discount rate were applied to costs (in €2020), life years saved (LYS), and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). The incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) was contrasted against the informal willingness-to-pay (WTP) range for incremental LYS or QALY gained (€30,000-€50,000) suggested for France. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses tested the robustness of the baseline ICUR.
    Results: Over a 5-year time horizon, STN1013001 resulted in an incremental 0.35 QALYs gained at an incremental cost of €7.39 compared to Latanoprost, resulting in an ICUR of €21.26. This is well below the lower limit of the unofficial WTP range proposed for France. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the baseline results.
    Conclusion: Once on the market, STN1013001 will provide the French health system with a cost-effective treatment versus Latanoprost for OAG/OHT + OSD patients. These results should be confirmed by future economic evaluations carried out alongside empirical trials.

    Title translation Economic evaluation of posaconazole in prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in Italian neutropenic patients with acute myeloid leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
    Abstract The objective of this study was to assess the costs and effectiveness (avoided invasive fungal infections - IFIs; overall mortality) of prophylaxis with posaconazole 200 mg per os TID and standard azoles (fluconazole 400 mg per os OD, itraconazole 200 mg per os BID) in neutropenic patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. A 100-day cost-effectiveness model was developed following the Italian hospital perspective. The probability of IFIs, death from IFIs, and death from other causes was obtained from the literature. Health care sector resources (type, volume, unit cost) are given in Euros and refer to 2009. The robustness of the cost-effectiveness model was tested via one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. Total costs for posaconazole (standard azoles) was estimated at Euros 3365.26 (Euros 2339.96). Posaconazole is consistently more effective than standard azoles. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for avoided IFI (avoided overall mortality) with posaconazole is Euros 15,850.51 (Euros 18,038.43). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of such findings. In conclusion, posaconazole as a prophylaxis in neutropenic patients with AML or MDS who are at risk of IFI is good value for money for Italian hospitals.
