Modelling the resource implications of managing adults with Fabry disease in Italy.

Abstract:

AIMS:This study estimated the resource implications and budget impact of managing adults with Fabry disease in Italy, from the perspective of the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN). METHODS:A decision model was constructed using published clinical outcomes and clinician-derived resource utilisation estimates depicting the management of adults with Fabry disease in Italy. RESULTS:The expected annual cost of managing 220 existing and 20 new Fabry patients in Italy was estimated to be €28·3 million. In an average year, patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with 0·2 mg kg(-1) agalsidase alfa (Replagal; Shire Human Genetic Therapies, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK) or 1·0 mg kg(-1) agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme; Genzyme Europe BV, Naarden, The Netherlands) are collectively expected to make 4500 hospital attendances to a day ward for infusions, which equates to 2000 eight-h days on the day ward associated with ERT. If all ERT-treated patients received their infusions at home, there would be a marginal reduction in the annual health care cost to manage these patients, and the total annual number of days on the day ward associated with ERT in the second year could potentially be reduced from a mean 2000 to zero, thereby releasing substantial hospital resources for use by non-Fabry patients. Currently, only agalsidase alfa is licensed for home treatment in Italy; hence, only patients receiving this enzyme could be offered home treatment. CONCLUSION:Use of agalsidase alfa (0·2 mg kg(-1) ) instead of agalsidase beta (1·0 mg kg(-1)) has the potential to reduce health care costs and release hospital resources in different specialities for alternative use by non-Fabry patients, thereby improving the efficiency of the public health care system in Italy.
