HPR183 Evaluating the Saving Potential of Lenalidomide Before and After Transition to the Reference Price System in Finland
The exclusive selling rights of several very expensive medicines are coming to an end and they are entering to the reference price system (RPS) and towards more competitive market. One of these medicines is the blockbuster cancer medicine lenalidomide, which has been among the ten best-selling medicines in Finland in terms of medicine reimbursement expenditure. The saving potential in the reimbursement expenditure of lenalidomide was evaluated before lenalidomide entered RPS in April 2022. The accuracy of our estimate was checked after lenalidomide had remained in RPS for almost one year, in the spring 2023. (Source: Value in Health)

EE691 Economic Evaluation and Budget Impact of RVd as Induction Regimen Prior to ASCT in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma from the Perspective of the Public Health Sector in Mexico
Compare the costs effectiveness of RVd (lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone) and D-VTd (daratumumab, bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone) as induction regimen prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and estimate the budget impact associated with the use of RVd in this indication, from the perspective of the public health sector in Mexico.

EE517 Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Tafasitamab in Combination With Lenalidomide for the Treatment of Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Greece
Tafasitamab is indicated in combination with lenalidomide followed by tafasitamab monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). We sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tafasitamab and lenalidomide combination followed by tafasitamab monotherapy versus polatuzumab vedotin, bendamustine and rituximab (Pola-BR), tisagenlecleucel, and rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) from a Greek third-party payer perspective.

EE209 Can the German Efficiency Frontier Approach Support Decision-Making Processes for Pricing New Medicines? An Application to Second-Line Interventions of Transplant-Ineligible Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
For patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), treatment options (interventions) are limited if their disease relapses or is refractory (r/r) to first-line therapy and they are ineligible for stem cell transplantation. Innovative interventions have been recently approved by the European Medicine Agency (tafasitamab-lenalidomide, Tafa-L; polatuzumab-bendamustine-rituximab, Pola-BR) for second-line (2L) treatment addressing this unmet medical need. Further interventions, e.g., CAR-T-cell therapies, are expected to be introduced for the 2L soon, albeit at rising treatment costs. (Source: Value in Health)

CO101 Multiple Myeloma (MM) Refractory to Lenalidomide: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs)
Lenalidomide is increasingly used in early lines of therapy for patients with MM. Patients treated with lenalidomide, especially in maintenance settings, often experience relapse and become refractory. RCTs in second line and beyond (2L+) feature patients with varying lenalidomide exposure resulting in variable outcomes. Evaluation of 2L+ RCTs focusing on first-line lenalidomide exposure and subsequent impact on outcomes is valuable; understanding the evidence supporting therapies and associated outcomes in 2L+ lenalidomide-refractory patients is vital.

CO24 Daratumumab in Combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone Improves Survival in Newly Diagnosed Transplant-Ineligible Multiple Myeloma: A Parametric Network Meta-Analysis in a United Kingdom Setting
Daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) is indicated for patients with newly diagnosed transplant-ineligible multiple myeloma. Previous hazard ratio network meta-analyses (NMA) have shown DRd to be clinically superior to other treatments. Proportional hazard assumption (PHA) violations in the network, however, required the exploration of advanced NMA methods. This research aimed to conduct a parametric NMA (PNMA) to evaluate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for DRd compared with relevant treatments in the United Kingdom (UK) setting.

P25 Association between Adherence to Lenalidomide and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients with Multiple Myeloma: A Systematic Literature Search
Lenalidomide, a molecular-targeted agent that binds to cereblon, is active in multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common haematological malignancy. Continuous exposure is associated with efficacy; however, the impact of adherence to lenalidomide oral maintenance therapy on quality of life is unclear. We assessed the available literature to assess the relationship between adherence and  patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in lenalidomide-treated MM patients. (Source: Value in Health)
