COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF CLINICAL EFFICIENCY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF TARGETED CANCER THERAPY
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The high prices of the targeted TKI therapies cause fierce debates in Bulgaria and in economically developed countries. All questions about the cost-effectiveness of TKI therapies motivate a number of researchers to examine the ratio of costs and benefits. However, no comprehensive analysis is available to provide updated information about the cost-effectiveness of all TKI therapies and objectify the decision-making process on reimbursement in Bulgaria. Our team implemented a comprehensive analysis of published international data on cost-effectiveness of oral targeted cancer therapies based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The purpose of the analysis is to support the decisions of the NCPRMP in Bulgaria to include TKI therapies in the PdL and set the starting point for adapting and updating of pharmacoeconomic evaluations.
