A cost-effectiveness and budget impact analysis of apremilast in patients with psoriatic arthritis in Italy.

Conclusion: The use of apremilast as a first option before the use of biologic agents may represent a cost-effective treatment strategy for patients with PsA who fail to respond to, or are intolerant to, previous DMARD therapy. In addition, based on a budget impact perspective, the use of apremilast may lead to cost savings to the Italian healthcare system. PMID: 31856609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
