Table 3. Associations between treatment costs and clinical value for indications supported by single-arm clinical trials in China.

Variables Model (1)
Costs before negotiation
Model (2)
Costs after negotiation
Model (3)
Costs before and after negotiation
Coefficient (95% CI) P value Coefficient (95% CI) P value Coefficient (95% CI) P value
ORR 0.597 (0.163, 1.030) 0.009 0.688 (0.179, 1.197) 0.010 0.596 (0.140, 1.051) 0.011
Negotiation (ref = Before negotiation)
    After negotiation −0.495 (−0.899, −0.090) 0.018
Negotiation × ORR (ref = Before negotiation × ORR)
    After negotiation × ORR 0.092 (−0.552, 0.735) 0.776

We log-transformed treatment costs for these regression analyses. CI, confidence interval; ORR, overall response rate. Negotiation × ORR refers to the interaction term involving negotiation status and ORR.
