Change # Description
1 Fixing programming errors (mostly affected scenario analyses)
2 Updating the PFS-related clinical model inputs for the first line with the MONALEESA-2 data from the most recent data cut-off date (January 2017)
3 Incorporating the wastage costs (for the unused tablets in the last treatment cycle)
4 Using the inflation-adjusted post-progression treatment-related cost estimate from the fulvestrant appraisal (£1140) for monthly third-line treatment costs [32]
5 Changing the modelling of the post-treatment discontinuation survival after second-line chemotherapy (so that the arbitrary Weibull scale parameter assumption in the CS is not used)
6 Implementing the partial PFS to OS surrogacy approach. This de novo approach decreases the time spent in states after first-line PFS in the ribociclib arm of the model in such a way that it would result in a “gain in median OS/gain in median PFS” ratio close to 38.5% (4.2 months/10.9 months) from the PALOMA-1 trial, instead of the full PFS to OS surrogacy or threshold-based PFS to OS surrogacy approaches in the company CS
