Cost-Effectiveness of Voncento Prophylaxis Versus On-Demand Treatment in von Willebrand Disease in the United Kingdom.

von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentrates may be required for on-demand treatment (ODT) or long-term prophylaxis (LTP) in von Willebrand disease (VWD). This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of LTP compared with ODT in VWD patients treated with Voncento in the United Kingdom (UK). A Markov structure was developed to estimate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and costs of VWD treatment over a lifetime horizon.

Analysis of long-term clinical and cost impact of etranacogene dezaparvovec for the treatment of hemophilia B population in the United States.

Introduction: Etranacogene dezaparvovec (EDZ), Hemgenix, is a gene therapy recently approved for people with hemophilia B (PwHB).

Objective: To estimate long-term clinical impact and cost of EDZ in the United States (US).

Methods: A decision-analytic model was developed to evaluate the long-term impact of introducing EDZ for PwHB over a 20-year time horizon.

Assessing health plan payer's budget impact of etranacogene dezaparvovec for the treatment of hemophilia B in the United States.

Background: Etranacogene dezaparvovec is a recently approved gene therapy for people with hemophilia B (PwHB). Current standard of care is prophylaxis with factor IX (FIX) to prevent bleeding. Etranacogene dezaparvovec increases blood FIX levels such that FIX prophylaxis could be eliminated.

Assessing Public Health Impact of Four Pediatric Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccination Strategies in the Netherlands.

Introduction: The 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10, Synflorix) was introduced into the Dutch pediatric national immunization program (NIP) starting in 2011. However, there is substantial pneumococcal disease burden due to increases in non-PCV10 covered serotypes. Higher-valent vaccines for pediatrics (PCV13, PCV15, and PCV20) may alleviate much of the remaining disease burden upon implementation through broader serotype coverage.

Historical Population-Level Impact of Infant 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) National Immunization Programs on Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Australia, Canada, England and Wales, Israel, and the United States.

Introduction: This study estimates the annual population-level impact of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) infant national immunization programs (NIPs) on vaccine-type and non-vaccine type invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence across all ages using national surveillance data.

Methods: We identified countries (Australia, Canada, England and Wales, Israel, and the US) with national IPD active surveillance data that introduced the seven-valent PCV (PCV7) followed by PCV13, which also reported annual serotype- and age group-specific incidence. We extracted IPD incidence by serotype groupings [PCV13 minus PCV7 (PCV13-7) serotypes; PCV13-7 serotypes excluding serotype 3; non-PCV13 serotypes; and the 20-valent (PCV20) minus PCV13 (PCV20-13) serotypes] and by age groups (< 2 years, 2-4 years, 5-17 years, 18-34 years, 35-49 years, 50-64 years, and ≥ 65 years).
