Nivo in 2nd-line | OS gains /Grade (OS/g) & HR | C/LYG | Relative Values (RV) (100,000/LYG) |
---|---|---|---|
Nivolumab (Nivo) vs. Doc, squamous-NSCLC [4] | 96/C HR 0.59 P = 0.00025 |
$488,524 | 0.20 |
Nivo vs. Doc, non-squamous- NSCLC, CheckMate 057 [5] | 84/C HR 0.73 P = 0.0016 |
$558,326 | 0.18 |
Subset analysis in > 10% positive PD-L1 ChecMate 057 [5] | 264/A + HR 0.27 | $177,645 | 0.56 |
Nivolumab was tabulated separately since it was the only ICPI which showed OS difference between squamous- and non-squamous histology. Nivo, Atezo and Pembro demonstrated AEs gr ¾ of < 20%, maintained/or improved the QoL and carried no black box warnings. The adverse events treatment costs (AEsTC) represented a small and insignificant fraction of drug costs and were not included in drug costs. The C/LYG were weighed relative to $100,000. Relative values (RV) were computed as $100,000/C/LYG
