Résumé

Tirbanibulin 1% ointment is a new treatment for actinic keratosis (AK) on the face or scalp. A health economic model was developed as part of a submission to the Scottish Medicines Consortium to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tirbanibulin compared to the most frequently prescribed treatments. A decision tree approach was used to calculate the costs and benefits of different treatment strategies for AK on the face or scalp over a one-year time horizon. Data on the relative efficacy of treatments, which were based on the probability of complete clearance of AK, were obtained from a network meta-analysis. Sensitivity and scenario analyses were performed to determine the robustness of the model results. Tirbanibulin is estimated to be cost saving versus diclofenac sodium 3%, imiquimod 5% and fluorouracil 5%. Tirbanibulin remains cost saving when inputs are varied in sensitivity and scenario analyses. While the complete clearance rates are deemed similar across comparators, tirbanibulin is associated with a lower rate of severe local skin reactions, and a shorter treatment duration, which may improve treatment adherence. Tirbanibulin is a cost saving intervention for the treatment of AK from the perspective of the Scottish Healthcare System.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Tirbanibulin 1% ointment is a new treatment for actinic keratosis (AK) on the face or scalp. A health economic model was developed as part of a submission to the Scottish Medicines Consortium to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tirbanibulin compared to the most frequently prescribed treatments.
METHODS METHODS
A decision tree approach was used to calculate the costs and benefits of different treatment strategies for AK on the face or scalp over a one-year time horizon. Data on the relative efficacy of treatments, which were based on the probability of complete clearance of AK, were obtained from a network meta-analysis. Sensitivity and scenario analyses were performed to determine the robustness of the model results.
RESULTS RESULTS
Tirbanibulin is estimated to be cost saving versus diclofenac sodium 3%, imiquimod 5% and fluorouracil 5%. Tirbanibulin remains cost saving when inputs are varied in sensitivity and scenario analyses. While the complete clearance rates are deemed similar across comparators, tirbanibulin is associated with a lower rate of severe local skin reactions, and a shorter treatment duration, which may improve treatment adherence.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Tirbanibulin is a cost saving intervention for the treatment of AK from the perspective of the Scottish Healthcare System.
