RESUMO
Background: Approximately one-half of all heart failure (HF) consists of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF). Although several recent trials have investigated treatments for HFpEF/HFmrEF, there is limited insight on the long-term clinical trajectory of this population. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to model clinical outcomes in patients with symptomatic (NYHA functional class II-IV) HFpEF/HFmrEF over 10 years. Methods: We developed a Markov model with stable HF, HF hospitalization, and death states to follow a cohort of patients with HFpEF/HFmrEF treated with standard of care (SoC) recommended by the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology/Heart Failure Society of America. Population characteristics and clinical event probabilities were derived from recent phase 3 HFpEF/HFmrEF trials. We used weighted averages for control and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor outcomes. SoC was informed by baseline treatments reported in clinical trials. Results: In a cohort of U.S. patients with HFpEF/HFmrEF treated with SoC, our model estimated 0.53 cumulative HF hospitalizations per patient over 10 years. Overall, 37% had at least 1 HF hospitalization, and 26% experienced cardiovascular death. The model estimated 6.1 years of life expectancy from age 72 and total cost of care over this time of $123,900. Conclusions: HFpEF/HFmrEF is associated with high rates of HF hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality based on contemporary clinical trials in this population. Furthermore, clinical trial results are likely to be more optimistic than real-world outcomes. Continuing to optimize care and treatment may reduce clinical burden and improve population health.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) is a methodology for cross-study comparisons after adjusting for baseline characteristic imbalances. It is a comparative analytical approach used across therapeutic areas absent head-to-head trial outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of OC-01 (varenicline solution) 0.03 mg nasal spray (OC-01 VNS) to lifitegrast 5% ophthalmic solution on tear production and patient-reported eye dryness in patients with dry eye disease (DED) using data from phase 3 clinical trials via MAIC analysis. METHODS: Individual patient data (IPD) from the phase 3 registrational trial of OC-01 VNS and aggregate data from 2 phase 3 trials of lifitegrast in the publicly available XIIDRA New Drug Application were used. Using unanchored MAIC methods, IPD were weighted on clinically relevant baseline variables (age, race, sex, baseline Schirmer's test score [STS], and Eye Dryness Score [EDS]) to produce weighted OC-01 VNS datasets matched to the same lifitegrast datasets' variables. Least-squares (LS) mean change from baseline (CFB) in STS for OC-01 VNS was calculated using the identical analysis of covariance model and covariates used to calculate the same values for lifitegrast in the XIIDRA New Drug Application and was then compared. LS mean EDS (based on a 100- point Visual Analogue Scale) was compared via analysis of covariance in the weighted OC-01 VNS and lifitegrast datasets. OC-01 VNS at 2 and 4 weeks compared to lifitegrast data at 2 and 6 weeks. RESULTS: Data from 511 subjects (n = 260 treated; 251 vehicle control [VC]) in the OC-01 VNS phase 3 trial, 588 (n = 293 treated, 295 VC) in the lifitegrast phase 3 OPUS-1 trial, and 718 (n = 358 treated, 360 VC) in the lifitegrast phase 3 OPUS-2 trial were analyzed. The LS mean STS CFB for OC-01 VNS at 2 and 4 weeks was significantly greater than that for lifitegrast at 2 and 6 weeks in OPUS-1 and OPUS-2 (P < 0.0001 for all comparisons). The LS mean EDS CFB for OC-01 VNS at 2 and 4 weeks was significantly greater than that for lifitegrast at 2 and 6 weeks in OPUS-1 (P < 0.0001 for both comparisons) and at 4 weeks vs lifitegrast at 6 weeks in OPUS-2 (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: This MAIC analysis demonstrates OC-01 VNS produced significantly greater improvement in mean STS and comparable or greater improvement in EDS compared with lifitegrast in phase 3 trials. These findings suggest a potentially greater magnitude of improvement achieved with OC-01 VNS compared with lifitegrast for the treatment of DED within the conditions of the analysis methodology.

BACKGROUND: Matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) is a validated and widely accepted statistical method that derives indirect comparisons between treatments when head-to-head studies have not been performed. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of OC-01 varenicline nasal spray (OC-01 VNS) 0.03 mg to cyclosporine A (CsA) 0.05% ophthalmic emulsion on tear production in patients with dry eye disease based on data from the respective phase 3 clinical trials using the MAIC technique. METHODS: Individual patient data were drawn from the phase 3 registry trial of OC-01 VNS; aggregate data were drawn from 2 phase 3 trials of CsA in the publicly available New Drug Application for CsA 0.05% ophthalmic emulsion (RESTASIS). Using unanchored MAIC methods, the individual patient data were weighted based on 4 clinically relevant baseline variables (age, race, sex, and baseline Schirmer test score [STS]) to produce a weighted OC-01 VNS dataset matched to the key demographics of the CsA dataset. Least-squares mean change from baseline in STS for OC-01 VNS was calculated using the identical analysis of variance model used to calculate the same value for CsA in the RESTASIS New Drug Application, which were then compared. Proportions of subjects with improvement of 10 mm or more from baseline in STS were compared in the weighted OC-01 VNS and CsA dataset. Time points available for comparisons were CsA trials at 3 and 6 months and OC-01 data at 2 and 4 weeks. RESULTS: Data from 511 subjects in the OC-01 VNS phase 3 trial and 585 in the CsA phase 3 trials were analyzed. The least-squares mean STS change from baseline for OC-01 VNS at 2 and 4 weeks was significantly higher than that for CsA at 3 and 6 months (P < 0.0001 for all comparisons). Mean STS improvements were approximately 6-7 mm for OC-01 VNS and approximately 1 mm for CsA. The proportion of subjects with improvement of 10 mm or more from baseline in STS was significantly higher for OC-01 VNS (50.2%) than CsA (11.7 and 17.1% in the 2 CsA studies; P < 0.0001 for both comparisons). CONCLUSIONS: This MAIC analysis demonstrates OC-01 VNS produces significantly greater improvement in mean STS and results in significantly greater numbers of patients with substantial improvement in STS (percentage ≥ 10 mm) compared with CsA. Together, absent more robust data from head-to-head trials, findings may suggest a potentially greater magnitude of improvement achieved with OC-01 VNS compared with CsA for the treatment of dry eye disease within conditions of the analysis methodology.
