TABLE 3.3.
Comparison between therapies – quantitative analysis.
| CLET (Holoclar®) | SLET | |
| Up-front cost of therapy | € 93,907 (cost of surgery) | € 21,000 |
| Long-term healthcare costs | ||
| Long-term stability** | 23.4% failures up to 10 years (based on a proven follow-up) | 24.8% failures up to 4 years (based on a proven 4 years follow-up) + 6 years hypothetical stability (best case) Or 6 years potential 100% failure (worst case) |
| Total potential cost of failures § in 10 years (follow-up) | € 206,802 | € 220,943–€ 618,639 |
| Total potential partial cost including surgery | € 300,709 | € 241,943–€ 639,639 |
In this table, the percentage of failure has been calculated from Rama et al. (2010) for Holoclar® and Basu et al. (2016) for SLET. **Failure rate and long-term stability were calculated on reported successful outcomes and proven 10 years follow-up for Holoclar® (Rama et al., 2010), and 4 years follow-up reported for SLET (Basu et al., 2016). The following 6 years (required to compare the data with ATMP) of SLET have been considered as a range: from a best case scenario as stable percentage of failure (24.8%) (Basu et al., 2016) to the worst case of late failure (100%). § The cost of failure was based on expenses for Best Supportive Care (BSC in Table 3.1).
