Description
Summary:Updated HCV clinical guidelines placed direct acting agents (DAAs) as the preferable the first line regimens.The objective of the study was PE assessment of HCV therapy among G1 naïve patientsMethods: Analysis is based on data of randomized clinical trials and average price of HCV medicines from state auctions placed in state procurement system in 2015.Results: PTV/OBV/DSV/r cost is 30,5% lower vs PegIFN/RBV/SMV. In comparison with PegIFN/RBV/BCV combination PTV/OBV/DSV/r is cost saving by 10,6% at patients without cirrhosis and 36,2% at patients with cirrhosis. DCV/ASV combination is chipper PTV/OBV/DSV/r and it would be used for G1 naïve patient (cost saving is 9,4-10,4%). DCV/ASV and PTV/OBV/DSV/r SVR12 costs are comparable and significantly lower than PegIFN-based regimen: PegIFN/RBV/SMV and PegIFN/RBV/BCV. 4 weeks stop rules due to therapy inefficiency for PegIFN/RBV/SMV regimen could cut cost by 12,6% и 28,0% among patients without and cirrhosis accordingly. By way PTV/OBV/DSV/r is the most cost effective versus PegIFN/RBV/SMV. PTV/OBV/DSV/r as the first line therapy for PegIFN experienced patients provides budget saving 118,2 thousand RUB or 12,2% of budget.Conclusion: Right now PTV/OBV/DSV/r regimen is the most cost effective the first line therapy for naïve patients.
