Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
Health care decision makers are increasingly concerned about the value of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatments in China. This analysis aims at estimating the relative value of entecavir as a first-line option at treatment initiation and for different treatment durations from a holistic perspective.
METHODS:
CHB was simulated by using a Markov disease transition model with disease states based on available natural history data. The model assumed 5-year treatment duration with entecavir, lamivudine, telbivudine, and adefovir based on published clinical data. The speed of disease progression varies by viral load and hepatitis B "e" antigen status. Direct medical costs included medication and management of liver complications. The primary output was the estimated cost savings of entecavir per patient per day versus the comparator.
RESULTS:
For treatment duration of 5 years and a follow-up period of 30 years, entecavir treatment was translated into specific patient benefit of an estimated cost saving of $2.69 per day compared with no treatment. In addition, long-term usage of entecavir resulted in daily $2.33 and $1.73 cost saving compared with short-term usage (1-year and 2-year, respectively). Among available treatment options in China, entecavir treatment exhibited about $0.90 to $1.81 daily cost saving versus the comparators. The detailed daily cost saving of entecavir is summarized as follows-entecavir versus lamivudine: $1.81, entecavir versus telbivudine: $0.90, entecavir versus adefovir: $2.02, and entecavir versus generic adefovir: $1.37.
CONCLUSIONS:
Long-term usage of entecavir exhibits the characteristics of a favorable CHB treatment, which translates into economic value as opposed to either no treatment or alternative strategies.
