Methods: We developed an age-stratified mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and vaccination calibrated for New Caledonia and evaluated three alternative scenarios.
In 2018, dosing regimens of the two most prescribed immune check point inhibitors (ICI), nivolumab (Opdivo) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda), in the treatment of lung cancer were changed from weight-based dosing to fixed dosing.

A budget impact analysis (BIA) has been performed on the French public health insurance data.
