OBMEA duration 2 years 2 years (could be extended up to 3 years) ALL: 4 years 7 months; DLBCL: 4 years
Purpose of OBMEA

Manage clinical, economic and financial uncertainties in the March 2019 submission for ALL, particularly

- Patient not successfully infused

- Patient receives second dose

- Patient numbers overestimated

- Durability of response

- Proportion receiving SCT

- Need for ongoing IVIG (Co 3 years, vs 6 years from MoH)

CED

Resolve uncertainties relating to efficacy/safety (particularly longer term), therapeutic added value

- Success rate of production and turn-around time

- Optimal selection of patients (high chance of response, low risk of severe toxicity)

- Number of patients treated in real life

- OS, PFS 6, 12 and 20 months (DLBCL only)

- Number who had SCT without disease progression (i.e. Bridge-to-transplant)

- Medical resource utilisation

- Number receiving tocilizumab and duration

- Number not infused and reason

- Is capacity of accredited centres sufficient?

CED

Resolve clinical uncertainties

ALL:

- Immaturity of data that do not fully support the curative nature of tisagenlecleucel

- Rate of subsequent sct

- Need for IVIG and duration of treatment

DLBCL:

- Immaturity of data (OS) to support the curative nature of tisagenlecleucel

- Need for IVIG and duration of treatment

CED

Use in re-appraisal Re-appraisal of clinical and cost effectiveness and budget impact Re-appraisal for price re-negotiations or alteration in eligibility and other criteria Re-appraisal of clinical and cost effectiveness after data collection period (no extension of OBMEA permitted)
Stakeholders involved

- MAH, MSAC, MoH

- Highly specialised tertiary centres

- Australian BMT Registry

- INAMI Commission for Reimbursement proposed OBMEA to MAH, who accepted and developed OBMEA with MoH and INAMI MEA taskforce

- Clinicians

- Clinical centres accredited by MAH

- Signatories: MAH, NICE, NHSE&I, PHEa

- Non-signatory: BSBMTCTb

- Phased approach in accredited centres with national clinical panel to judge eligibility against eligibility criteria

Data sources

Completion of ongoing trial

Health service data

Australian BMT Registry

Completion of ongoing trials

Clinician completed forms

INAMI reimbursement data

MAH: ongoing phase II open-label trials and phase I study of lymphomas

BSBMTCT registry

NHS SACT dataset

Data collected

Minimum dataset:

- Indication for use of CAR-T

- PFS

- Complications, use of high-cost medications, late-onset aes, saes

- Use and duration of IVIG

- Reinfusion with any CAR-T

Sub-group analyses of patients infused with non-optimal cell numbers

To resolve stated uncertainties, details confidential

From clinical trials: OS; and for DLBCL also PFS and IVIG use

From BMT register (if data sharing is possible)

ALL, nNumber and time to stem cell transplant

From NHS datasets (including SACT and other data)

DLBCL: OS, IVIG use (if possible)

Data analysis plan ? Confidential

- Data analysis plan specified in data collection agreement

- Methodologies for analyses from NHS SACT database are publishedc

Frequency of data collection Registry enters info for each patient as treated, including those unsuccessfully or not infused Yearly (allowing for delay in data collection, thus end of 2021, end of 2022)

- Clinical trials, as per protocol

- SACT data uploaded 2-monthly by NHS trusts

- Registry data uploaded after patient has transplant and gives consent

Interim data reviews No No

- MAH asked for updates on clinical trials

- SACT and BSBMTCT aggregated data reviews (with MAH, NICE, NHSE&I, PHE) at 9 and 12 months and annually of OS

Data quality process ? None

- Clinical trial standard processes

- NHS systems map local data to SACT information standard based on NHS data dictionaryd. PHE employ data liaison officers to review data and chase trusts for missing/erroneous data for CDF data reports. All CDF reports are subject to a review by NICE, NHSE&I and PHE prior to sharing externally or publication

- BSBMTCT perform regular checks and validation tests on registry

Funder for data collection MAH Insurance funds (MAH for their bespoke analyses)

- MAH funds ongoing clinical trial

- NHSE&I, SACT, Blueteq, registry

Funder for data processing MAH MAH

- MAH funds analysis of clinical trials

- NHSE&I fund analysis of SACT, Blueteq, registry data

Purpose of OBMEA

Resolve uncertainties about efficacy, safety and complexity of treatment process

CED

Manage clinical uncertainty based on outcome metrics

Individual: “payment at result” (staged payments)

3 payments at baseline, 6 months, 12 months

- Ensure equitable, safe and efficient use and monitor patients

- Provide long-term evaluation of outcomes in clinical practice to resolve uncertainties that remain after clinical trials

Individual: outcomes-based staged payments

Use in re-appraisal Annual HTAs to reassess improvement in the clinical benefit (SMR/ASMR rating) Ongoing, part of the regular P&R contract reviews P&R renegotiations
Stakeholders involved

HAS

Hospitals

Registry holder

MAH

- AIFA hosts national medicines registry, for PaR, MAH accesses anonymised individual data to verify the payment

- Pharmacists responsible for payments in case of PaR.

- Regions authorise centres and health managers authorise clinicians and pharmacists (dispensing dependent on registry entry by clinician)

MoH National Pricing Committee outline data to be collected by Regions with agreement from MAH

Designated hospitals responsible for administering CAR-T

Data sources

- National CAR-T registry data platform hosted by Lymphoma Academic Research Organisation (LYSARC)
