Résumé

Majority of patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in India present in advanced stages, when curative treatment options are limited. We undertook this study to assess the cost-effectiveness of treating advanced HCC patients with sorafenib compared with best supportive care (BSC). A Markov model was parameterized to model the lifetime costs and consequences of treating advanced HCC patients with sorafenib versus BSC using a societal perspective. Cost of routine care, diagnostics, management of complications in both the arms and management of adverse effects of sorafenib treatment were considered. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis was undertaken to assess the effect of parameter uncertainty. The incremental cost and benefit gained by treating HCC using sorafenib was Indian rupees 94,182 ($1459) and 0.19 quality adjusted life years (QALYs) per patient, implying an incremental cost of Indian rupees 507,520 ($7861) per QALY gained. Sorafenib is not cost-effective for use in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treatment in India.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Majority of patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in India present in advanced stages, when curative treatment options are limited. We undertook this study to assess the cost-effectiveness of treating advanced HCC patients with sorafenib compared with best supportive care (BSC).
METHODS METHODS
A Markov model was parameterized to model the lifetime costs and consequences of treating advanced HCC patients with sorafenib versus BSC using a societal perspective. Cost of routine care, diagnostics, management of complications in both the arms and management of adverse effects of sorafenib treatment were considered. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis was undertaken to assess the effect of parameter uncertainty.
RESULTS RESULTS
The incremental cost and benefit gained by treating HCC using sorafenib was Indian rupees 94,182 ($1459) and 0.19 quality adjusted life years (QALYs) per patient, implying an incremental cost of Indian rupees 507,520 ($7861) per QALY gained.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Sorafenib is not cost-effective for use in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treatment in India.
