Cost-effectiveness analysis of savolitinib for locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer with MET mutations
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of savolitinib group versus crizotinib group in first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor(MET)mutations to provide references for healthcare decision-making.METHODS Based upon the clinical trial data,a partitioned sur-vival model was constructed from the perspective of Chinese healthcare system.Total expense,quality-adjusted life-years(QALY)and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)of two groups were calculated and annual discount rate was 5%.Single factor sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were performed for evaluating the stability of parametric results.RESULTS Total expense of savolitinib group was ¥442 232 and 0.931 QALYs was obtained.Total expense of crizotinib group was ¥322 138 and 0.677 QALYs was obtained.ICER of savolitinib group versus crizotinib group was ¥472 799/QALY.It exceeded the willingness-to-pay threshold of ¥257 094/QALY in China.CONCLUSION From the perspective of Chinese healthcare system,savolitinib is not cost-effectiveness as compared with crizotinib for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with MET mutations.
