Due to the clinical non-inferiority of fAPR compared with APR and to a lack of data referred to therapies that imply the use of fAPR, the same ORs of APR based therapies were considered for fAPR + PALO and fAPR + ONDA.
*Considered for the budget impact analysis.
†HEC: data calculated on the basis of the results from reference [11]; MEC: data calculated on the basis of the results of reference [12].
‡Data calculated on the basis of the results from reference [15].
APR, aprepitant; fAPR, fosaprepitant; HEC, highly emetogenic chemotherapy; MEC, moderately emetogenic chemotherapy; ONDA, ondansetron; PALO, palonosetron.
