  1. A ‘dominant’ treatment strategy: Xeloda Jim Cassidy Beatson Oncology CentreGlasgow, UK

  2. Replacing 5-FU/LV with Xeloda: prospective evaluation of costs and cost effectiveness • X-ACT trial showed that adjuvant Xeloda is at least as effective as 5-FU/LV, with1,2 • strong trend toward superior disease-free survival (DFS) • fewer serious grade 3/4 toxicities • Additional benefits in terms of medical resource savings and reduced burden on patients expected • X-ACT trial included prospective evaluation of costs and cost-effectiveness of Xeloda versus 5-FU/LV3 1Cassidy J et al.

  3. Patients’ perspective: Xeloda reduces time spent travelling and receiving treatment

  4. Base-case assumptions: cost of patients’ time and travel for treatment F. Hoffmann-La Roche, data on file

  5. Xeloda reduces cost of patients’ travel and time associated with treatment Mean cost per patient (£) 1600 1200 800 400 0 Travel Travel and clinic time for treatment F. Hoffmann-La Roche, data on file

  6. Replacement of 5-FU/LV with Xeloda is net cost saving: travel costs Net costs per patient versus 5-FU/LV (£) 4000 2000 0 –2000 –4000 TotalTravel Travel time F. Hoffmann-La Roche, data on file

  7. Xeloda is cost-saving for the UK National Health Service (NHS) versus 5-FU/LV US and Italian data have been collected but have not been published yet

  8. Cost model • Direct medical costs during the trial period assessed • Data on medical resource use and safety were collected prospectively during the X-ACT trial • The model took the perspective of the UK NHS

  9. Base-case assumptions (direct costs) Costs were taken from: Monthly Index of Medical Specialties (September 2004); Unit Costs of Health and Social Care (UK-based Personal Social Services Research Unit); Health Service Database Douillard J-Y et al. Ann Oncol 2004;15 (Suppl. 3):iii73 (Abst 274PD)

  10. Fewer outpatient visits for chemotherapy administration with Xeloda versus 5-FU/LV Mean number per 100 patients 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 2804 738 Xeloda (n=995) 5-FU/LV (n=974) Douillard J-Y et al. Ann Oncol 2004;15(Suppl. 3):iii73 (Abst 274PD)

  11. Fewer hospitalizations for adverse events (AEs) with Xeloda versus 5-FU/LV Mean number per 100 patients Xeloda (n=995) 5-FU/LV (n=974) 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 Admissions Total days Douillard J-Y et al. Ann Oncol 2004;15(Suppl. 3):iii73 (Abst 274PD)

  12. Xeloda requires fewer costly medications for management of AEs Douillard J-Y et al. Ann Oncol 2004;15(Suppl. 3):iii73 (Abst 274PD)

  13. Replacement of 5-FU/LV with Xeloda is net cost saving: direct payer costs Net costs per patient versus 5-FU/LV (£) 4000 2000 0 –2000 –4000 TotalDrugs Administration Hospital Medications Consultations use Updated from Douillard J-Y et al. Ann Oncol 2004;15(Suppl. 3):iii73 (Abst 274PD)

  14. Xeloda increases quality-adjusted life expectancy* versus 5-FU/LV *Quality-adjusted life expectancy is a patient’s life expectancy adjusted to take into account their quality of life

  15. Cost-utility model • Considers time spent in three health states: stable (relapse-free), post-relapse, dead • Time in each health state extrapolated to the long-term by fitting relapse-free and overall survival data to a Weibull distribution1 • Incremental cost per quality-adjusted life month (QALM) • difference in total costs in each arm divided by the difference in expected survival • adjusted for time and utility of each health state 1Collett D. Modelling Survival Data in Medical Research. Chapman and Hall CRC, 1994. pp 107–49

  20. Xeloda is a uniquely ‘dominant’ treatment in cancer chemotherapy 1Aballéa S et al. Proc 2005 GI Cancers Symposium 2005;181 (Abst 194)2UK National Institute of Clinical Excellence website: http://www.nice.org.uk 3Messori A et al.

  21. Xeloda is a ‘dominant’ strategy: cost savings and superior outcomes • Xeloda reduces time travelling to and receiving treatment, and associated costs • Replacement of 5-FU/LV with Xeloda results in average savings of £1864 (€2721)* per patient as calculated by NHS costs • Efficacy and safety benefits of Xeloda provide a net gain in QALMs *Exchange rate: 1.46
