摘要: In the phase III PALETTE trial, pazopanib improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared with placebo in patients advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcomas (mSTS) who had received prior chemotherapy. We used a multistate model to estimate expected PFS, overall (OS), lifetime STS treatment costs, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) for receiving pazopanib, placebo, trabectedin, ifosfamide, or gemcitabine plus docetaxel as second-line mSTS therapies. The cost-effectiveness of was expressed incremental costs per QALY gained. Estimates PFS/OS, adverse events, utilities were from trial. relative effectiveness other comparators an unadjusted indirect comparison versus pazopanib. Costs published sources. Pazopanib is estimated increase QALYs by 0.128 £7,976 placebo; cost gained be £62,000. Compared chemotherapies, provides similar at lower cost. may not cost-effective but most commonly active treatments, although this conclusion uncertain. Given unmet need effective treatments mSTS, appropriate alternative some currently medications United Kingdom.
