Cost-impact analysis using modeling on therapy with sofosbuvir in combination of simeprevir, daclatasvir or ledipasvir.
| Observed time to HCV RNA <15 IU/ml [days] |
n (%) | Predicted number of patients and treatment duration to reach virus cure* n [weeks] |
Estimated treatment cost saving (in France) to reach virus cure* compared to standard 12 weeks of therapy [x1000€] |
Estimated treatment cost saving to reach virus cure* compared to standard 12 weeks of therapy in 100 subjects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3(5%) | 3[N/A] | 1% | |
| 14 | 25(43%) | 22 [6]+ 1[10]+1[12]+1[N/A] | 650 | 45% |
| 28 | 23(40%) | 1[6]+16 [8]+6[10] | 397 | 30% |
| 42 | 7(12%) | 4 [12] + 3 [13] | 44** | 11% |
| Total | 23[6]+16[8]+7[10]+9[12]+3[13] | 1091 | 20% |
Virus cure is defined as <1 virus copy in the entire extracellular body fluid;
additional 3 weeks of therapy (extra cost of 14,542€) but assuming that additional week would have achieved SVR in the subject who relapsed, i.e., saving of average cost (58,167€) of DAA therapy in France; N/A, not available due to insufficient viral load measurements.
