Выбор терапии первой линии хронического миелолейкоза: моделирование клиникоэкономических факторов

Background & Aims. Second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (nilotinib and dasatinib) have advantages over imatinib in frequency and rate of cytogenetic and molecular responses obtaining in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) treatment. At the same time, they produced more severe adverse effects and are more expensive than imatinib. At present, CML patients with stable deep molecular response are considered as candidates for enrollment into clinical trials studying the management of treatment-free remission. Constant growth of expenses for CML diagnosing and treatment require a pharmacoeconomic analysis in order to optimize expenses and provide cost-effectiveness data for introduction of novel highly effective drugs. The aim of the study was pharmacoeconomic modeling of the choice of CML treatment using first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors in first-line therapy with an analysis of sensitivity of clinico-economic factors. Methods. Pharmacoeconomic modeling of CML diagnosing and treatment. Cost-utility analysis of first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors in first-line treatment. Sensitivity analysis with identification of most important clinical and economic factors affecting treatment results. Simulation for feasibility analysis of the nationwide use of first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors in first-line therapy. Results. Sensitivity analyses of pharmacoeconomic models showed its robustness. The threshold limits for drug costs and frequency of achievement of a complete molecular response affecting economic feasibility of the choice of first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors were determined. Conclusion. These pharmacoeconomic models may be applied for improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic standards.
