Background: The current clinical practice for patients affected by chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is based on the evaluation of second generation alternatives following therapeutic failure that leads to a lengthening of patients’ management times and a consequent negative impact in terms of quality of life.
Objective: To determine the economic absorption of resources associated to the management of patients with CML in a scenario in which an early recourse to ponatinib is considered as compared with a scenario based on the current Italian clinical practice characterized by a cyclical recourse to the available therapies.
Methods: A Budget Impact model was developed to compare the resources absorbed in the scenarios under assessment considering a 3-year time horizon and the perspective of the Italian National Health Service. Results are expressed in terms of differential resources absorbed in the alternative scenarios.
Results: The increase in the recourse to ponatinib allowed a saving of resources for the Italian NHS over the 3-year time horizon of –€ 1,979,322 (€ 825,104,350 vs € 823,125,028). The parameter affecting the most of the results achieved in the base-case is the monthly cost of bosutinib used as a third-line treatment.
Conclusions: The increase in the recourse to ponatinib in patients affected by CML that failed to respond to a previous pharmacological therapy resulted to be associated to a lower level of resources’ absorption in the Italian NHS allowing to re-allocate health founds to other fields of the care sector ensuring greater sustainability of the system.
