Cost-effectiveness of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma in the United States

Article

Author: Bavle, Abhi ; Aout, Mounir ; Babcock, Aram ; Li, Haojie ; Zhang, Shujing ; Lai, Yizhen ; Mamtani, Ronac ; Notinger, Spencer ; Brand-Wiita, Sarah ; Meng, Yang

OBJECTIVE:

Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (EV+Pem) was recently approved in the United States as the new first-line standard of care for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC). We assessed the cost-effectiveness of EV+Pem as first-line treatment for la/mUC from a US third-party payer perspective, using the most recent database lock (data cutoff: 8 August 2024) from the Phase III EV302/KEYNOTE-A39 study (NCT04223856).

METHODS:

A partitioned survival model assessed the cost-effectiveness of EV+Pem versus gemcitabine and cisplatin/carboplatin followed by maintenance avelumab if not progressed (GP/GC ± Ave) in la/mUC patients. Standard and flexible spline parametric models were fitted to patient-level overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) data from EV-302. Treatment discontinuation, utilities, and other clinical inputs were also based on EV-302. Cost inputs were sourced from literature or public databases. A cisplatin-eligible (Cis-E) subpopulation analysis compared EV+Pem versus nivolumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (Nivo + GP) and other platinum-based chemotherapies. A network meta-analysis based on the EV-302 and CheckMate-901 studies informed the OS and PFS hazard ratios for Nivo + GP versus EV+Pem.

RESULTS:

For the overall population, EV+Pem was projected to extend 2.58 life-years (LYs), or 1.76 quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), versus GP/GC ± Ave, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $180,631/QALY. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) showed that EV+Pem had a 77% probability of being more cost-effective versus GP/GC ± Ave at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $200,000/QALY. For the Cis-E subpopulation, EV+Pem was projected to extend 2.37 LYs (1.45 QALYs) versus Nivo + GP, with an ICER of $136,475/QALY. The PSA showed that EV+Pem had a 59% probability of being most cost-effective among all the treatment regimens considered, including platinum-based chemotherapies, at a WTP threshold of $200,000/QALY.

CONCLUSIONS:

EV+Pem is cost-effective compared to platinum-based regimens for the treatment of previously untreated la/mUC from a US third party payer perspective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $200,000/QALY.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced nephrotic syndrome: a pharmacovigilance analysis of 404 FAERS cases and literature case series

Article

Author: Huang, Jiangfeng ; Wang, Zhi ; Ye, Jingjing ; Shao, Leping

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related nephrotic syndrome is a rare but increasingly reported adverse event, where early-onset severe cases warrant heightened vigilance. This pharmacovigilance study assessed this correlation by analyzing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from Q1 2011 to Q1 2025. A total of 404 cases of ICI-related nephrotic syndrome were identified in the FAERS database, with 84.1% of cases related to programmed cell death protein 1 (58.9%) or programmed death-ligand 1 (25.2%) inhibitors. Disproportionality signals were observed for six ICI monotherapies and one combination therapy: atezolizumab (ROR 6.84; 95% CI: 5.58-8.40), avelumab (ROR 5.54; 95% CI: 2.64-11.63), nivolumab (ROR 4.37; 95% CI: 3.64-5.25), pembrolizumab (ROR 3.44; 95% CI: 2.88-4.10), durvalumab (ROR 2.03; 95% CI: 1.12-3.66), ipilimumab (ROR 2.05; 95% CI: 1.07-3.94), and the combination therapy of nivolumab and ipilimumab (ROR 4.56; 95% CI: 3.56-5.83). Firth multivariate logistic regression analysis identified several independent risk factors, including advanced age (>65 years), malignant renal neoplasm, malignant mesothelioma, and the concomitant use of bevacizumab or lenvatinib. The median onset time was significantly shorter for severe cases than for non-severe cases (22.5 vs. 96.5 days, respectively; p = 0.0479). Additionally, a literature review of 18 cases provided supplementary information on the clinical features. This study provides vital pharmacovigilance insights regarding nephrotic syndrome related to ICIs, enhancing the understanding of its clinical implications.

Late cutaneous metastasis of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma to the lower eyelid five years after radical nephrectomy: A case report

Article

Author: Šuráň, Miroslav ; Liegertová, Michaela ; Milota, Jan ; Horák, Vít ; Broul, Marek ; Hujová, Aneta

Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) metastasises widely, but cutaneous spread is uncommon and eyelid involvement exceptionally rare. We report a 55-year-old man who developed a painless 4-mm lower-eyelid nodule five years after curative left radical nephrectomy for pT1a ccRCC. Excision confirmed metastatic ccRCC (PAX8+, CD10⁺). Staging showed mediastinal nodal and pulmonary disease. First-line avelumab 800 mg IV every two weeks plus axitinib was initiated; in July 2025 axitinib was reduced to 5 mg once daily. After eight cycles, interim CT (August 2025) demonstrated regression with no locoregional recurrence. This case highlights continued vigilance and prompt biopsy of atypical eyelid lesions.

GST waiver for 36 drugs; formulations under 5% slab

New Delhi: Executing the much-awaited overhaul of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, the GST Council has brought a major relief for patients by reducing the indirect tax on medicines to 5 per cent, along with exempting as many as 36 life-saving medicines and other critical drugs. The GST council—a statutory body highest decision making body on indirect taxes led by the Union Finance Ministry at its 56th meeting in the national capital has recommended to reduce the GST on all drugs and medicines (finished formulations) from 12 per cent to 5 per cent under the new two-tier tax structure of 5 and 18 per cent slabs to be effective from September 22. Additionally the body has also recommended to exempt GST on 33 lifesaving drugs and on 3 other medicines used for treatment of cancer, rare diseases and other severe chronic diseases. Speaking at a press briefing after the council 10.5-hour long marathon meet, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “all recommendations have been cleared with zero reservations and have corrected various inverted duty structure problems, classification related issues and that this rationalization exercise will bring predictability and stability of GST.” “These reforms have been carried out with a focus on the common man, and after a rigorous evaluation process in most sectors including healthcare, the rates have come down drastically, she added. Previously, medicines in India were taxed at 5 per cent for life-saving and essential drugs, and at 12 per cent for others but following the announcement all medicines will attract a standard duty of 5 per cent with extensions for several medicines specified at the end of this article. Welcoming the move, Sudarshan Jain, Secretary General, IPA said, “the decision to exempt life-saving and cancer medicines from GST, is a step that will bring direct relief to patients and their families. and, the reduction in GST on a wide range of medicines from 12 per cent to 5 per cent will further help to ease the overall treatment burden and make essential therapies more affordable.” Meanwhile, for companies, the clarity on a 5 per cent slab and exemptions removes long-standing ambiguity, enabling transparent pricing and better market planning. The move will expand access in semi-urban and rural markets, ease litigation, and free up resources for innovation, said Manoj Mishra, Partner and Tax Controversy Management Leader, Grant Thornton Bharat LLP. Notably, on the issue of inverted duty involving APIs and key starting materials—which are currently taxed at 18 per cent against 12 or 5 per cent for finished formulations—further clarity is awaited from the industry. ETPharma earlier reported that, in a letter to the Finance Minister, the national chemist body, the All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) had urged, “to bring all medicines including vitamins, probiotics, nutritional, food supplements under the 5 per cent GST slab. The rate rationalization comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pitched for introducing next-gen reforms across sectors to “increase ease of living for the common man and strengthen the economy.” However, this rationalization brings a revenue shortfall challenge for governments with states likely to bear a greater share of the burden, as they receive over 40 percent of the inter-state inflows in addition to their own SGST collections. Responding to a media query at the media briefing Arvind Shrivastava, Revenue Secretary said that, based on the consumption of FY23-24 the ministry has estimated that the net revenue implication of this proposal will be around Rs 48,000 crore. “However the exercise will trigger buoyancy effects and will have a positive impact on consumer and compliance. And therefore we believe this proposal will be fiscally sustainable both for centers and the states,” Shrivastava noted. ' S.no.
