PG - 59.e1-59.e6 LID - S2666-6367(22)01704-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jtct.2022.10.009 [doi] AB - Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies demonstrated efficacy in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) but are associated with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological events (NE). We wanted to estimate the total cost of CRS and NE management among patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL treated with lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), or tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) in the third- or later-line setting. An economic decision tree model was developed using clinical and economic data to estimate a weighted average per-patient adverse event (AE) management cost from a United States health care system perspective in 2020 dollars. In 2 predefined analyses, mean expected cost and 95% confidence intervals of the average treated patient were estimated via Monte Carlo simulations, with per-patient costs for each CAR T-cell therapy further stratified by AE and grade. In the base case, the overall weighted average per-patient cost was $18,718, $47,665, and $42,538 for liso-cel, axi-cel, and tisa-cel, respectively. The weighted average per-patient cost per CRS event was $8213, $20,442, and $26,009 for liso-cel, axi-cel, and tisa-cel, respectively; the weighted average per-patient cost per NE was $10,505, $27,223, and $16,528, respectively. Differences in the base-case scenario estimated total mean costs for liso-cel were -$28,947 and -$23,819 compared with axi-cel and tisa-cel, respectively. In the scenario analysis (alternative cost input), differences in the estimated total mean costs were -$24,498 for liso-cel versus axi-cel, and -$19,326 for liso-cel versus tisa-cel. Across the base case and scenario analysis, liso-cel had the lowest weighted average CRS and NE costs per treated patient compared with axi-cel and tisa-cel owing to lower incidence rates and symptom severity. These findings highlight the economic implications of differences in safety among CAR T-cell therapies. CI - Copyright (c) 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc.
