Impact of Ebola epidemics on the daily operation of existing systems in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo: a brief review
CONCLUSION: National leadership has not yet taken the lead in strategic, operational, or financial aspects. Therefore, national leaders should double their efforts and awareness to encourage local fundraising, sufficient budget al.location, infrastructure construction, equipment provision, and staff training, to effectively support a holistic approach in response to outbreaks, providing effective results, and all types of research activities.PMID:38240249 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2305009 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Cost-effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus tisagenlecleucel for the treatment of 3L  + relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma in the United States: incorporating longer survival results
CONCLUSIONS: With longer-term survival data, axi-cel continues to represent a cost-effective option versus tisa-cel for treatment of r/r LBCL among patients who have previously received ≥2 lines of systemic therapy, from a US payer perspective.PMID:38240256 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2305558 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Validation of overall survival extrapolations made by TLV in the assessment of cost-effectiveness of oncology drugs in Sweden - A pilot study comparing extrapolated and observed life-years gained
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that it is feasible to validate OS extrapolations by comparing extrapolated and observed life-years. Even if survival extrapolations are reasonably accurate for the treatment group, this may still imply that extrapolations of LYs gained deviates to a larger extent. Follow-up studies on OS should be carried out to an increased extent to be able to validate, update and improve OS extrapolations in cost-effectiveness analysis of oncology drugs.PMID:38225911 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2304459 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Real-world economic burden of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer before and after first-line therapy initiation
CONCLUSION: Incremental costs of progression to mCRPC are significant, with the majority of costs driven by higher PC-related costs. Using contemporary data, this study highlights the importance of utilizing effective therapies that slow progression and reduce healthcare resource demands despite the initial investment in treatment costs.PMID:38204397 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2303890 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Adverse events and costs among non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients
CONCLUSION: There is significant HCRU and cost burden among nmCRPC patients treated with ARAs developing AEs, highlighting the need for treatments with improved tolerability.
