Post-approval indications and clinical trials for cardiovascular drugs and some implications of the US inflation reduction act
ConclusionsPost-approval FDA indication approvals and clinical trial starts and primary completion dates often occurred after or near new DPNP selection and MFP implementation dates. This has economic consequences for future investment incentives. Post-approval trials for small molecules, longer-duration trials, and larger-enrollment trials, and post-approval indications focused on limited patient populations and older patients could face particular economic challenges.PMID:38419523 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2323903 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Budget impact analysis for three glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist-based therapies for type 2 diabetes mellitus management in Saudi Arabia
Conclusions: CV cost-offsets and drug acquisition considerations may make semaglutide a favorable use of resources for Saudi budget planners and decision-makers. These results were robust to assumptions regarding the list price of tirzepatide.PMID:38420695 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2319458 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Characterizing the real-world economic burden of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer in the United States
Conclusion: This real-world study demonstrated a significant economic burden in mCSPC patients, and a propensity to use ADT monotherapy in clinical practice despite the availability and guideline recommendations of advanced life-prolonging therapies.PMID:38420699 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2323901 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)
