Pharmacoeconomic characteristics of agonists of receptors for glucagon-like peptide-1 and medicines on their base
Abstract
The effective control of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an actual problem from optimal expenditures of health care system point of view. Agonists of receptors for glucagon like peptide-1 (aGLP-1) are one of the modern option for glycemia control in DM Type 2 and included in all current guidelines for the treatment control. The economic comparative aspects of the use of these drugs in the local conditions have not been studied. Materials and methods. Comparative economic evaluation of insulin glargine + lixisenatide (iGlaLixi), exenatide (Exe), dulaglutide (Dula), liraglutide (Lira) and combinations of their aGLP-1 with iGla 100 U has been performed base on published clinical data of efficacy. Number of patients with HbA1c <7 % was chosen as efficacy criterion. Non-direct comparison with Odds Ratio (OR) calculation was prepared. Direct and indirect costs (medications, treatment of CV-complications, GDP loses etc.) were indicated and calculated based on constructed model. Sensitivity analysis has been provided for validation of results. Results. Pharmacoeconomic analysis based on non-direct efficacy comparisons of iGlaLixi, Exe, Lira and Dula has shown of economic advantages of effective DM2T control. iGlaLixi has demonstrated economic advantages as well usage aGLP-1 only (direct costs decreasing vs Exe on 23,8 %, vs Dula on 15,6 %, vs Lira on 54,4 %) as their combinations with iGla 100 U (direct costs decreasing vs iGla 100 U + Exe on 23,8 %, vs iGla 100 U + Dula on 15,2 %). iGlaLixi decreased a total cost (direct and non-direct) better than Exe, Dula and Lira (on 19,9, 9,3 и 45,2 % accordingly). Conclusion. An effective control of DM2T with aGLP-1 and medicines on their base has an economic value because lead to expenditures for complications decreasing from government position.
