Abstract:
AIM:This analysis assessed the direct medical costs of newly-diagnosed, temozolomide (TMZ)-treated glioblastoma (GBM) from the perspective of a US commercial setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The analysis included subjects identified from the IMS PharMetrics LifeLink Plus™ claims database from January 1, 2008 to August 31, 2014 who were ≥18 years of age, had ≥1 malignant brain cancer diagnosis, had brain surgery ≤90 days prior to TMZ initiation, had TMZ treatment, and were continuously enrolled for ≥12 months pre-diagnosis and ≥1 month post-diagnosis. Per-patient per-month (PPPM) and cumulative costs from 3 months pre-diagnosis to various post-diagnosis follow-up time points were calculated. Multivariable analyses were used to estimate adjusted mean cost and identify contributors of cost. RESULTS:The study included 2,921 subjects (median age = 56 years; 60% male). After diagnosis, the median (interquartile range, IQR) number of inpatient, emergency department, and outpatient visits were 2 (1-4), 1 (1-3), and 19 (13-27); median (IQR) length of stay per hospitalization was 5 (3-9) days. Mean total cumulative costs per patient from 3 months pre-diagnosis to 12 months and to 5 years post-diagnosis were $201,749 (197,490-206,024) and $268,031 (262,877-274,416). Mean (SD) PPPM costs were $818 (1,128) and $7,394 (8,676) pre- and post-GBM diagnosis, respectively. The variables most predictive of cumulative costs included radiation therapy (+$81,732), ≥2 weeks of hospitalization (+$49,629), and ≥7 MRI scans (+$40,105). CONCLUSIONS:The direct medical costs of newly-diagnosed, TMZ-treated GBM in commercially insured patients are substantial, with estimated total cumulative costs of $268,031.
