Aim: To analyze the economic impact of nivolumab and chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who developed disease progression after platinum-containing dual-drug chemotherapy. Materials & methods: The partitioned survival model was used to analyze the cost-utility of two NSCLC treatments by nivolumab and docetaxel. The clinical data resulted from the Phase III clinical trial. The cost parameters were derived from our previous studies, and the utility parameters were derived from the literature. Results: The quality-adjusted life-years of nivolumab and docetaxel were 0.778 and 0.336. The lifetime direct medical expenses of nivolumab and docetaxel were US$44,707.17 and US$12,826.72. The incremental cost–effectiveness ratio was $72,127.71/quality-adjusted life-year. Conclusion: The combination of chemotherapy, nivolumab is not a cost-effective choice in the second-line treatment of NSCLC.

Objective: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of nivolumab plus ipilimumab vs. chemotherapy in the first-line setting for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from the US payer perspective.Materials and methods: A Markov model wasdeveloped to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of nivolumab plus ipilimumab vs. chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. The survival benefits of nivolumab plus ipilimumab were based on the results of the CheckMate 227 trial. The main endpoints of the model were cost, life-years (LYs), quality-adjusted LYs (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Univariable and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess model uncertainty. Additonal subgroup analyses were also performed.Results: nivolumab plus ipilimumab produced a gain of 0.62 QALYs, at a cost of $104238 per QALY. The variables that had the greatest influence on the ICER were body weight and overall survival (OS) hazard ratio (HR). The probability of nivolumab plus ipilimumab being cost-effectiveness compared to chemotherapy is 50.7 and 66.2% when the willingness-to-pay (WTP) value is $ 100,000 and $ 150,000 per QALY. The results of subgroup analyses showed the ICER remained below $150,000/QALY regardless of the PD-L1 expression level.Conclusions: nivolumab plus ipilimumab was estimated to be cost-effective compared with chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC at a WTP threshold from 100,000/QALY to 150,000/QALY.

e19387 Background: The combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab was found to improve overall survival compared to chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the Checkmate 227 trial. However, nivolumab and ipilimumab are significantly more expensive than chemotherapy, and given the high incidence of advanced lung cancer, incorporating dual checkpoint inhibitors into the standard of care could have substantial economic consequences. In this study, we evaluated the cost effectiveness of combination ipilimumab and nivolumab for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Methods: We designed a Markov model simulating the three treatment arms of the Checkmate 227 trial: nivolumab plus ipilimumab, nivolumab monotherapy, and chemotherapy. Transition probabilities, such as disease progression, survival, and treatment toxicities, were derived from trial data. Costs (in 2019 United States dollars) and health utilities were estimated from published literature. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), expressed as dollar per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY), were calculated, with results less than $100,000/QALY considered cost-effective from a healthcare payer perspective. We assessed model uncertainty with one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. Results: In our base-case model, nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy increased overall cost by $227,700 and improved effectiveness by 0.55 QALY compared to chemotherapy, resulting in an ICER of $413,400/QALY. Nivolumab monotherapy increased overall cost by $98,500 and improved effectiveness by 0.05 QALY compared to chemotherapy, resulting in an ICER of $1,885,400/QALY. Our model was most sensitive to both the cost and duration of dual immunotherapy. Combination immunotherapy became cost effective at an ICER under $100,000/QALY if monthly costs of treatment were reduced from $26,586 to $8,844 (a 67% reduction) or if maximum allowed duration of immunotherapy was reduced from 24 to 4 months. The model was not sensitive to assumptions about survival differences between the study arms. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000/QALY, dual immunotherapy was less cost-effective than chemotherapy 99.99% of the time. Conclusions: Combination nivolumab and ipilimumab immunotherapy is not cost-effective at current prices despite increasing overall survival for patients with advanced NSCLC.
