Table 3.

Base case costs and outcomes related to selected strategies for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer

Strategy Cost/patient ($) PF-QALY Benefit/patient (months) PF-QALY Benefit/patient (years) Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio ($/PF-QALY)* Additional annual cost to US health system ($)**
Observation $827 3.4 0.29 -- --
gBRCA testing/selective treatment $46,157 5.7 0.48 $243,092/PF-QALY $ 249 million
gBRCA testing + HRD testing/selective treatment $109,368 8.5 0.71 $269,883/PF-QALY $ 597 million
Treat all $169,127 8.8 0.74 $2.2 million/PF-QALY $ 926 million
*

All ICERs refer to a comparison to the next less effective strategy in Table. The ICER threshold for considering a strategy cost effective was $100,000/PF-QALY.
