Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of niraparib combined with abiraterone compared to other first-line treatments for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
  • Conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis using a partitioned-survival model over a lifetime horizon.
  • Incorporated overall survival and progression-free survival data from previous trials.
  • Calculated drug costs from federal pricing and included other cost factors like administration and adverse events.
  • Estimated incremental cost-effectiveness ratios at various willingness-to-pay thresholds.
  • Performed deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses to assess uncertainty.
  • Lifetime treatment costs varied from $41K for ADT to $730K for DAD, with QALYs from 3.25 to 4.29.
  • DA was cost-effective with an ICER of $35,505/QALY compared to ADT, while AAP was less cost-effective at $189,589/QALY.
  • NAAP was dominated by other strategies in terms of cost and effectiveness.
  • DAD provided the highest QALYs (4.29) but had an ICER of $1.43M/QALY, indicating limited cost-effectiveness.

Abstract

47 Background: An increase in radiographic progression-free survival (PFS) was observed in the AMPLITUDE trial combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with niraparib + abiraterone acetate/prednisone (NAAP) for HRR-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients (pts). We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis from a U. S. public-payer perspective comparing NAAP with seven established first-line options for mHSPC of ADT alone and added to ADT; docetaxel (DA) ; abiraterone (AAP) ; apalutamide (AAT) ; enzalutamide (ET) ; darolutamide + docetaxel (DAD) ; enzalutamide + docetaxel (EAD). Methods: A partitioned-survival model with monthly cycles over a lifetime horizon (progression-free, post-progression, death) incorporated overall survival (OS) and PFS data derived from survival curves. Drug acquisition costs were from 2025 Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). Administration, subsequent-therapy, and adverse event costs and utilities were obtained from published literature. Costs and outcomes were discounted at 3% annually. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was estimated at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of 150, 000-200, 000/QALY. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses assessed parameter uncertainty. Results: Across eight treatment strategies (N= 9, 027 pts) lifetime costs ranged from 41K (ADT) to 730K (DAD) and Quality of Life Years (QALYs) from 3. 25 to 4. 29. ET, EAD, AAT, DAD, and NAAP regimens were more costly and less effective than alternatives. Among non-dominated options, DA had an ICER of 35, 505/QALY vs ADT, and AAP yielded 189, 589/QALY. Although DAD achieved the highest lifetime QALYs (4. 29), its incremental cost was large (ICER 1. 43M/QALY). Conclusions: From a U. S. public-payer perspective, ADT remains the least costly option, but DA is consistently cost-effective, and AAP may be considered cost-effective at higher WTP thresholds. The addition of NAAP offered incremental benefit for patients with HRR-positive mHSPC; however, the ICER using niraparib’s current FSS pricing, derived from the mCRPC setting may limit its overall cost-effectiveness. These findings describe relative economic profiles rather than direct head-to-head comparisons. Cost-effectiveness results (in 2025 US dollars).
