Utility weights per health state

Health state Derivation Utility weight
Baseline Based on average utilities of patients at baseline 0.848
Response Value at Week 12 0.887
No response Value at Week 12 0.870
Second-line treatment Average of response and no response health states 0.879
Withdrawal Assumed to be equal to the baseline utility 0.848
Discontinuation Assumed to be equal to the baseline utility 0.848
Post-surgery Derived by combining response utility value from NEPTUNE study with disutilities from [23], weighted by probability of improvement, no improvement and adverse events after surgery [23] 0.839
Death Lowest utility possible 0.000
