Therapeutic value

Current treatment options

None. There is no treatment for the patient population 4L after trifluridine/tipiracil (Lonsurf). Comparison of the therapeutic value of fruquintinib with placebo (FRESCO-2) therefore seems to be appropriate

Substantiation

De eindpunten van de klinische studie werden behaald. Patiënten die met fruquintinib behandeld werden behaalden een mediane overall survival van 7,4 maanden (95% CI, 6.7-8.2) versus 4,8 maanden (95% CI, 4.0-5.8) met placebo (HR, 0.662; 95% CI, 0.549-0.800; P < .001). Daarnaast leidde de behandeling met fruquintinib tot een PFS van 3,7 maanden (95% CI, 3.5-3.8) versus 1,8 maanden (95% CI, 1.8-1.9) met placebo (HR, 0.321; 95% CI, 0.267-0.386; P<.001). In Nederland zal dit hoogstwaarschijnlijk alleen voldoen aan de PASKWIL criteria bij de RAS WT groep ( overall survival winst 3,3 maanden en HR 0,667).

Additional remarks
Gemetastaseerde coloncarcinoom betreft 2.085 patiënten in stadium 4 en gemetastaseerde rectumcarcinoom betreft 612 patiënten in stadium 4 in 2021. Samen gaat het dus om maximaal 2.697 patiënten in de eerstelijns. Er wordt verwacht dat er maximaal 500 patiënten in aanmerking komen op basis van gebruikersaantallen van Lonsurf. Dit volume zal lager uit vallen doordat het later in de lijn wordt ingezet en waarschijnlijk alleen de RAS WT patiënten in Nederland de indicatie krijgen.

Expected cost per patient per year

Cost

< 49,000.00
