Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The choice of antiplatelet therapy after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is complicated: Ticagrelor and prasugrel are novel alternatives to clopidogrel, patients with some genotypes may not respond to clopidogrel, and low-cost generic formulations of clopidogrel are available. OBJECTIVE:To determine the most cost-effective strategy for dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention for ACS. DESIGN:Decision-analytic model. DATA SOURCES:Published literature, Medicare claims, and life tables. TARGET POPULATION:Patients having percutaneous coronary intervention for ACS. TIME HORIZON:Lifetime. PERSPECTIVE:Societal. INTERVENTION:Five strategies were examined: generic clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, and genotyping for polymorphisms of CYP2C19 with carriers of loss-of-function alleles receiving either ticagrelor (genotyping with ticagrelor) or prasugrel (genotyping with prasugrel) and noncarriers receiving clopidogrel. OUTCOME MEASURES:Direct medical costs, quality-adjusted life years(QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). RESULTS OF BASE-CASE ANALYSIS:The clopidogrel strategy produced$179 301 in costs and 9.428 QALYs. Genotyping with prasugrel was superior to prasugrel alone, with an ICER of $35 800 per QALY relative to clopidogrel. Genotyping with ticagrelor was more effective than genotyping with prasugrel ($30 200 per QALY relative to clopidogrel). Ticagrelor was the most effective strategy($52 600 per QALY relative to genotyping with ticagrelor). RESULTS OF SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS:Stronger associations between genotype and thrombotic outcomes rendered ticagrelor substantially less cost-effective ($104 800 per QALY). Genotyping with prasugrel was the preferred therapy among patients who could not tolerate ticagrelor. LIMITATION:No randomized trials have directly compared genotyping strategies or prasugrel with ticagrelor. CONCLUSION:Genotype-guided personalization may improve the cost-effectiveness of prasugrel and ticagrelor after percutaneous coronary intervention for ACS, but ticagrelor for all patients may bean economically reasonable alternative in some settings.
