Resumo: | Cost-effectiveness analysis is essential in health decision making. Several countries use it as synthesis of evidence to incorporate health technologies. The protease inhibitors (PI) boceprevir (BOC) and telaprevir (TVR) are indicated for chronic hepatitis C treatment and were incorporated in guidelines worldwide. Pre-marketing clinical trials showed higher sustained virological response rates in relation to previous therapies, but the incorporation of PIs generated a significant financial impact. The aim of this study was to discuss the relevance of cost-effectiveness analysis through a study that involved the inclusion of PIs in a clinical protocol. The analysis was part of a real-life study that included patients infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 1 treated in a tertiary university hospital in Brazil. Triple therapies (TT) with ribavirin (RBV), peginterferon α-2a (Peg-INF α-2a) and BOC or TVR were compared to dual therapy with RBV and Peg-INF α-2a. Sensitivity analysis of the cost-effectiveness ratio indicated an 88.2% chance of TTs presenting a higher cost per cure. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) exceeded the Brazilian gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by three times in all proposed scenarios. The sensitivity of ICER showed an 88.4% chance of TT not being cost-effective. The impact of PI incorporation was negative and the conduct about this could have been different if a previous cost-effectiveness analysis had been conducted. |

El objetivo del estudio fue discutir la relevancia del análisis de coste-efectividad, a través de un estudio que implicó la inclusión de IPs en un protocolo clínico. El análisis formó parte de un estudio de vida real que incluyó a pacientes con infección por el virus de la hepatitis C, genotipo 1, tratados en un hospital universitario terciario en Brasil. Las terapias triples (TTs) con ribavirina (RBV), peg-interferon α-2a (Peg-INF α-2a) y BOC o TVR se compararon con las terapias dobles con RBV y Peg-INF α-2a. El análisis de sensibilidad del coste-efectividad indicó odds de 88,2% de que las TTs presentaran un coste más elevado por paciente curado. En todos los escenarios propuestos, las razones de coste-efectividad incremental (ICERs) superaron tres veces el producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita brasileño. La sensibilidad de la ICER mostró una probabilidad de que un 88,4% de las TTs no eran costo-efectivas. El impacto de la incorporación de los IPs fue negativo, y el resultado habría sido diferente si se hubiese realizado un análisis previo de coste-efectividad.A análise de custo-efetividade tem sido essencial para a tomada de decisões em saúde.

Cost-effectiveness analysis is essential in health decision making. Several countries use it as synthesis of evidence to incorporate health technologies. The protease inhibitors (PI) boceprevir (BOC) and telaprevir (TVR) are indicated for chronic hepatitis C treatment and were incorporated in guidelines worldwide. Pre-marketing clinical trials showed higher sustained virological response rates in relation to previous therapies, but the incorporation of PIs generated a significant financial impact. The aim of this study was to discuss the relevance of cost-effectiveness analysis through a study that involved the inclusion of PIs in a clinical protocol. The analysis was part of a real-life study that included patients infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 1 treated in a tertiary university hospital in Brazil. Triple therapies (TT) with ribavirin (RBV), peginterferon α-2a (Peg-INF α-2a) and BOC or TVR were compared to dual therapy with RBV and Peg-INF α-2a. Sensitivity analysis of the cost-effectiveness ratio indicated an 88.2% chance of TTs presenting a higher cost per cure. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) exceeded the Brazilian gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by three times in all proposed scenarios. The sensitivity of ICER showed an 88.4% chance of TT not being cost-effective. The impact of PI incorporation was negative and the conduct about this could have been different if a previous cost-effectiveness analysis had been conducted. |
