Cost-effective analysis of the use of EGFR inhibitors (E) for wild-type (WT) KRAS unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

2017 
6552 Background: Patients (pts) with unresectable WT KRAS mCRC benefit from fluoropyrimidines (FP), oxaliplatin (O), irinotecan (I), bevacizumab (Bev) and E. The most cost-effective strategy to combine them remains unclear. Methods: A Markov model was constructed for a hypothetical cohort of pts with mCRC to examine the costs and outcomes of 3 treatment strategies: (A): 1st line (1L) Bev+FP+O/I, 2nd line (2L) FP+I/O, 3rd line (3L) E, (B): 1L Bev+FP+O/I, 2L FP+I/O, 3L E+I, and (C): 1L E+FP+O/I, 2L Bev+FP+I/O, 3L best supportive care (BSC). Efficacy and probability data of the treatments were obtained from clinical trials identified through a systematic review of the literature. Resource utilization data were derived from a chart review of 65 consecutive pts treated at Odette Cancer Centre (OCC) since 2009 and from the literature. Utilities were obtained by surveying oncologists (n= 24) across Canada using EQ-5D. Costs were obtained from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long/Term Care, Ontario Case Costin...
