Cost-effectiveness of edaravone dexborneol versus human urinary kallidinogenase for acute ischemic stroke in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of edaravone dexborneol in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. This study aims to determine the cost-effectiveness of edaravone dexborneol compared with human urinary kallidinogenase from China's healthcare system perspective.

Methods

A combination of the decision tree and Markov model was constructed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of edaravone dexborneol versus human urinary kallidinogenase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke over a lifetime horizon. Efficacy data were derived from pivotal clinical trials of edaravone dexborneol and human urinary kallidinogenase (TASTE trial and RESK trial, respectively) and adjusted using matching-adjusted indirect comparison. Cost and health utility inputs were extracted from published literature and open databases. One-way deterministic sensitivity and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to examine the robustness of the results.

Results

Compared with human urinary kallidinogenase, edaravone dexborneol generated 0.153 incremental quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) with an incremental cost of ¥856, yielding an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of ¥5,608 per QALY gained under the willingness-to-pay threshold (one-time gross domestic product per capita). Both one-way deterministic sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis demonstrated the robustness of the base case results.

Conclusions

Edaravone dexborneol is a cost-effective treatment choice for acute ischemic stroke patients compared with human urinary kallidinogenase in China.

Project description:BackgroundEdaravone dexborneol and dl-3-n-butylphthalide are two innovative brain cytoprotective drugs from China that have been approved and widely prescribed for acute ischemic stroke, and the cost of the two drugs are partially paid by the Chinese medical insurance system. This study aimed to investigate and compare the cost-effectiveness of edaravone dexborneol versus dl-3-n-butylphthalide for acute ischemic stroke from the Chinese healthcare system's perspective.MethodsA model combining a short-term decision tree model with 90 days and a long-term Markov model with a life-time horizon (40 years) was developed to simulate the cost-effectiveness of edaravone dexborneol versus dl-3-n-butylphthalide for acute ischemic stroke over a lifetime horizon. Since the absence of a head-to-head clinical comparison of two therapies, an unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) was conducted by adjusting the patient characteristics using individual patient data from pivotal phase III trial of edaravone dexborneol and published aggregated data of dl-3-n-butylphthalide. Health outcomes were measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Utilities and costs (Chinese Yuan, CNY) were derived from publications and open-access database. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of results.ResultsCompared with patients in dl-3-n-butylphthalide arm, edaravone dexborneol arm was found to be cost-effective in 90 days and highly cost-effective as the study horizons extended. With a similar direct medical cost, patients in edaravone dexborneol arm slightly gained an additional 0.1615 QALYs in life-time. In the long term (40 years), patients in edaravone dexborneol arm and dl-3-n-butylphthalide arm yielded 8.0351 and 7.8736 QALYs with the overall direct medical cost of CNY 29,185.23 and CNY 29,940.28, respectively. The one-way sensitivity analysis suggested that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was most sensitive to the price of edaravone dexborneol and dl-3-n-butylphthalide.ConclusionEdaravone dexborneol is a cost-effective alternative compared with dl-3-n-butylphthalide for acute ischemic stroke patients in current medical setting of China.

Project description:ImportanceSublingual edaravone dexborneol, which can rapidly diffuse and be absorbed through the oral mucosa after sublingual exposure, is a multitarget brain cytoprotection composed of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients edaravone and dexborneol.ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of sublingual edaravone dexborneol on 90-day functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Design, setting, and participantsThis was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group, phase 3 randomized clinical trial conducted from June 28, 2021, to August 10, 2022, with 90-day follow-up. Participants were recruited from 33 centers in China. Patients randomly assigned to treatment groups were aged 18 to 80 years and had a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score between 6 and 20, a total motor deficit score of the upper and lower limbs of 2 or greater, a clinically diagnosed AIS symptom within 48 hours, and a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 1 or less before stroke. Patients who did not meet the eligibility criteria or declined to participate were excluded.InterventionPatients were assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive sublingual edaravone dexborneol (edaravone, 30 mg; dexborneol, 6 mg) or placebo (edaravone, 0 mg; dexborneol, 60 μg) twice daily for 14 days and were followed up until 90 days.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary efficacy outcome was the proportion of patients with mRS score of 1 or less on day 90 after randomization.ResultsOf 956 patients, 42 were excluded. A total of 914 patients (median [IQR] age, 64.0 [56.0-70.0] years; 608 male [66.5%]) were randomly allocated to the edaravone dexborneol group (450 [49.2%]) or placebo group (464 [50.8%]). The edaravone dexborneol group showed a significantly higher proportion of patients experiencing good functional outcomes on day 90 after randomization compared with the placebo group (290 [64.4%] vs 254 [54.7%]; risk difference, 9.70%; 95% CI, 3.37%-16.03%; odds ratio, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.15-1.95, P = .003). The rate of adverse events was similar between the 2 groups (89.8% [405 of 450] vs 90.1% [418 of 464]).Conclusion and relevanceAmong patients with AIS within 48 hours, sublingual edaravone dexborneol could improve the proportion of those achieving a favorable functional outcome at 90 days compared with placebo.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04950920.
