ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare the costs of dupilumab and omalizumab for treating severe allergic asthma patients from the perspective of the Brazilian private healthcare system.

Methods:

Using clinical and demographic inputs from the literature, we simulated a cohort of 5,000 severe allergic asthma patients and estimated the treatment cost with omalizumab.

Results:

In the simulated cohort, 81.3% were female, the mean body weight was 75.1 kg (SD 13.1), and the mean serum IgE was 532 IU/mL (SD 688). All patients were eligible for treatment with dupilumab, but 830 (16.6%) were ineligible for treatment with omalizumab due to serum IgE level and/or body weight combinations, according to the product label. Over four weeks, the mean dose of omalizumab was 537 mg (SD 285). The annual mean per-patient cost for treatment with omalizumab was BRL 110,783.89 (SD 58,385.81), ranging from BRL 31,797.49 to BRL 246,643.15. The treatment cost with dupilumab is BRL 111,724.21 for the first year and BRL 107,599.91 for subsequent years.

Conclusions:

We observed slightly lower mean treatment costs with dupilumab than with omalizumab. However, while the treatment cost with dupilumab is fixed and predictable, the treatment cost with omalizumab is highly variable, depending on patients' characteristics. Health managers should consider these findings for reimbursement and clinical protocol development decisions.
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Comparar os custos de dupilumabe e omalizumabe para o tratamento de pacientes com asma alérgica grave na perspectiva do sistema de saúde privado brasileiro.

Métodos:

Utilizando parâmetros clínicos e demográficos a partir de dados da literatura, simulamos uma coorte com 5.000 pacientes com asma alérgica grave e estimamos o custo de tratamento com o omalizumabe.

Resultados:

Na coorte simulada, 81,3% eram do sexo feminino, com peso médio de 75,1 kg (DP 13,1) e IgE sérica de 532 IU/mL (DP 688). Todos os pacientes eram elegíveis para o tratamento com dupilumabe, porém 830 (16,6%) não eram elegíveis para o tratamento com omalizumabe devido a combinações específicas de IgE sérica e/ou peso corporal, de acordo com a bula do produto. Para o período de 4 semanas, a dose média de omalizumabe foi de 537 mg (DP 285). O custo médio anual por paciente do tratamento com omalizumabe foi de R$ 110.783,89 (DP 58.385,81), variando de R$ 31.797,49 a R$ 246.643,15. O custo do tratamento com dupilumabe é de R$ 111.724,21 no primeiro ano e R$ 107.599,91 nos anos seguintes.

Conclusões:

Foi observado que o custo médio do tratamento com dupilumabe é ligeiramente menor que o custo com omalizumabe. Todavia, enquanto o custo do tratamento com dupilumabe é fixo e previsível, o custo do tratamento com omalizumabe é altamente variável, dependendo de características dos pacientes. Esses achados devem ser considerados pelos gestores de saúde para decisões sobre reembolso e desenvolvimento de protocolos clínicos.
