Abstract:

Objective Through the establishment of the Markov model, the pharmacological economic evaluation of tenofovir alafenamide and tenofovir disoproxil for the first-line treatment of chronic hepatitis B was conducted to provide evidence for clinical drug use. Methods The Markov model was established with reference to drug prices, treatment costs, and health utility values. The effectiveness and economics of the two programs were evaluated and sensitivity analysis was performed. Results The composition of tenofovir alafenamide was 1 077 244.03 yuan, 7.89QALYs was obtained, and the effect of tenofovir disoproxil was 932 456.65 yuan, and 7.48QALYs was obtained. The incremental cost-effective ratio was 353 139.95 yuan. Conclusion Compared with the tenofovir dipivoxil group, the tenofovir alafenamide group can achieve longer survival results, but its incremental cost effect is greater than 3 times GDP per capita, and has no economic benefit.

慢性乙型肝炎(Chronic hepatitis B,CHB)是由乙型肝炎病毒(Hepatitis B Virus,HBV)感染引起慢性传染性疾病,在全球范围内对人类健康造成严重的威胁。据估计,2016年全球慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染率为3.5%,2.57亿人患有慢性感染[1]。最近的研究显示,病毒性肝炎已成为全球第七大发病和死亡原因,每年死亡145万人,超过艾滋病、疟疾和结核病[2],由HBV引起的如肝硬化、肝细胞癌等并发症是CHB致死的主要原因[3],仅在2015年,就有68万人死于乙肝病毒相关的肝硬化和肝癌[4]。CHB的治疗费用也给患者造成沉重的经济负担,有研究[5]表明,由CHB导致各类肝脏疾病的治疗费用人均20 818元/年,占家庭年均收入的87.3%,占个人年均收入的261.8%。

CHB的治疗目标是最大限度地长期抑制HBV复制,减轻肝细胞炎性坏死及肝纤维化,延缓和减少肝功能衰竭、肝硬化失代偿、肝细胞癌及其他并发症的发生,从而改善生活质量和延长生存时间,抗病毒是治疗HBV的主要手段[6]。替诺福韦艾拉酚胺(tenofovir alafenamide,TAF)是一种口服生物利用度有限的核苷酸类似物,可抑制HBV和人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(human immunodeficiency Virus-1,HIV-1)的逆转录,是美国食品药物管理局(FDA)最近批准的一种用于治疗HBV感染的新药,与替诺福韦酯(tenofovir disoproxil fumarate,TDF)均为抗HBV一线用药[7]。TAF和TDF同为替诺福韦(tenofovir,TFV)的前体药物,它们在细胞内具有相同的活性代谢物二磷酸替诺福韦(tenofovir diphosphate,TFV-DP),TAF在血浆中比TDF更稳定,向靶细胞(HBV感染的肝细胞和HIV感染的淋巴样细胞)提供更高水平的TFV-DP。在治疗活性剂量下,TAF与TDF比较,循环中的TFV水平降低约90%,因此TAF对肾功能和骨密度的不良影响较少[8]

TAF是中国近年来唯一获批上市的治疗HBV感染的新药,而TDF在治疗HBV感染方面已被广泛使用,评价治疗策略除了有效性和安全性外,药物经济性也是重要考量因素。强效治疗方案带来更好疗效的同时也可能会增加患者的经济负担,因此通过运用卫生经济学的评价技术,结合决策分析的原理,评价长期治疗 CHB 患者的成本-效果,是十分重要的研究课题。而马尔科夫(Markov)模型由于能通过转移概率矩阵实现在不同疾病状态之间的转归,被认为更加适用于模拟慢性病的病程。国内目前尚未发表关于TAF和TDF治疗HBV感染的相关药物经济学评价,本研究从患者支付角度出发,通过建立Markov模型对两种药物在治疗HBV感染方面进行药物经济学评价,为临床用药提供循证医学证据。

1 资料与方法
1.1 Markov模型设计

Markov模型的基本原理是利用某一变量的现在状态和动向,去预测该变量未来的状态及其动向的一种分析手段。由于其具有的马尔科夫性(无后效性),对历史数据需求不多,预测方法具有很多优点 ,因此在现代统计学中占有重要的地位[9]。参考RUGGERI等[10]的研究,使用TreeAgePro2011软件构建Markov模型。由于TAF和TDF在治疗HBV感染时发生耐药的概率极低[11],同时国内肝移植较少且非常规治疗,故构建模型时未考虑耐药及肝移植两个状态,最终模型包含CHB 、HBeAg 血清学转换( HBeAg 阳性患者独有)、代偿性肝硬化(compensated cirrhosis,CC) 、失代偿性肝硬化(decompensated cirrhosis,DC)、肝癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)与死亡等6个状态,其中死亡为吸收态。各状态转换关系见图1。

1.2 模型参数

1.2.1 研究对象 检索PubMed英文数据库,检索范围“Title/Abstract”,检索词“Chronic hepatitis B、tenofovir alafenamide、tenofovir disoproxil fumarate、randomized controlled trial”及其对应的MeSH词。检索时间为建库至今。由于HBV DNA水平已被确定为与慢性乙型肝炎患者肝并发症有关的重要指标[12],因此排除HBV DNA报道不足、不良事件发生率报道不全的文献,最终选择样本量较大,且治疗周期长的1篇文献,作为本次研究的数据来源[13]。该文献是基于两项(GS-US-320-0110和GS-US-320-0108)大规模的、正在进行的、随机、双盲的国际III期试验,旨在比较TAF和TDF在治疗中的疗效和安全性。试验共计纳入门诊患者1 298例,服用TAF患者866例,服用TDF患者432例,每日分别服用TAF25 mg和TDF300 mg,随访时间2年。第96周时,HBeAg阳性患者病毒抑制率差异无统计学意义(P=0.47)、HBeAg阴性患者病毒抑制率差异无统计学意义(P=0.84)。患者数据基线见表1。模型将模拟患者的终身治疗,根据2018年中国统计年鉴数据显示,我国居民平均预期寿命为76.34岁,纳入研究的患者平均年龄40岁,因此设置模型循环40个周期,每个周期代表1年。

1.2.4 治疗成本 因TDF已在国内上市多年,且存在通过一致性评价的仿制药物,故本研究最终选择进口药物作为治疗药物。以2018年重庆市药品挂网价格为准,确定富马酸替诺福韦二吡呋辛酯片(TDF,韦瑞德,Gilead Sciences,Inc,0.3g/p,H20171313)每天治疗成本为人民币10.98元;富马酸丙酚替诺福韦片(TAF,韦立德,Gilead Sciences International Ltd,25 mg/p,H20180060)每天治疗成本为人民币39.33元,根据患者每日服用量确定药品治疗费用。参考文献确定CHB各状态下产生的治疗费用[20],治疗费用=直接费用+间接费用+隐形费用,成本和效用值年贴现率设置为5%[21]。治疗过程中有13例(2%)接受TAF治疗和4例(1%)接受TDF治疗的患者因不良事件而停止治疗,比例均较低。两种治疗均耐受良好,大多数患者仅发生轻度至中度的不良反应。不良反应集中表现为头痛TAF98例(11.3%)TDF43例(10%);鼻咽炎TAF105例(12.1%)TDF44例(10.2%);上呼吸道感染、鼻咽炎TAF105例(12.1%)TDF45例(10.4%)。因此由治疗引发的不良反应治疗费用及效用值降低未计算在内,结果见表4。

1.2.5 评价指标 本次研究将质量调整生命年(QALYs)做为评价指标,使用增量成本-效果比(ICER)作为2种药品的药物经济学评价标准。因国内目前尚无具体标准,故本次研究根据世界卫生组织建议,设定ICER<1倍人均GDP为极有成本-效果;1倍人均GDP<ICER<3倍人均GDP为有成本-效果;ICER>3倍人均GDP为不具有成本-效果[22]。本次研究选定2018年1倍人均GDP即64 644元为阈值标准,数据来源于中国统计年鉴。

1.3 敏感性分析

1.3.1 单因素敏感性分析 为了考察模型的稳定性,分别对2种药品的成本、贴现率、各状态治疗费用、各状态效用值进行单因素敏感性分析。各成本值按基线±25%计算,效用值按基线±10%计算,所有费用贴现率浮动0~8%。

1.3.2 概率敏感性分析 根据各不确定性因素的参数分布特征进行1 000次二阶Monte Carlo模拟,成本服从Gamma分布,效用值服从Beta分布。根据支付意愿(WTP)绘制成本-效果可接受曲线及散点图。

2.2 回乘分析

对TAF组和TDF组进行回乘分析,成本-效果分析结果见表5。结果显示TAF组成本为1 077 244.03元,获得7.89QALYs,TDF组成本效果为932 456.65元,获得7.48QALYs,增量成本-效果比为353 139.95,大于2018年3倍人均GDP193 932元,说明TAF组相较与TDF组不具有经济学效益。

3 讨论

相关研究表明,TDF比较与其他核苷酸类似物具有更好的病毒学应答,不良反应少,耐药率低等优点[23]。2008年FDA批准TDF用于CHB治疗,2014年中国食品药品监督管理局批准TDF用于CHB患者抗病毒治疗[24]。TAF比较TDF具有更高的生物利用度,TAF25 mg与TDF300 mg的抗病毒作用无明显差异。MURAKAMI等[25]的实验结果显示,TAF系孵育的肝细胞中 TFV-DP的浓度分别是TFV系和TDF系的120倍和5倍,说明TAF的抗病毒复制的活性最强。而正是由于起给药剂量远低于TDF,因此TAF对肾和骨骼的毒性较小,安全性较高[26]

TAF作为近年国内唯一获准上市的抗HBV感染药物,且和TDF同为TFV的前体药物,国内目前尚无文献对两者进行比较。参考加拿大卫生部药品和技术局(Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health,CADTH)的TAF药物经济学报告[27],采用TAF治疗的患者(7 137美元·人-1)比采用TDF治疗的患者(1 784美元·人-1)每年治疗费用多出5 353美元·人-1,报告结果提示TAF比较TDF并不具有成本效益。本研究采用增量成本-效果做为评价标准,从药物经济学的角度出发对TAF和TDF进行评价,结果提示现阶段TAF较TDF并不具有经济学效益,结果与CADTH一致。

本研究尚存在以下不足:①因国内缺乏TAF和TDF的大型随机对照试验,本研究采用的是多地区、多种族的文献资料,与国内患者的身体体质可能存在一定差异。②采纳文献目前仅报道96周的治疗效果,尚需后续报道对模型进行论证。③研究过程对疾病临床状态及计算进行了简化,死亡状态仅考虑与疾病相关死亡率,实际结果可能会存在一定偏倚。

本研究结果提示虽然TAF较TDF具有更好的抗病毒活性、安全性以及更长的生产结局,但从药物经济学角度考虑TDF更具有经济学效益。本研究旨在为临床治疗慢性乙型肝炎选择治疗方案时提供一定的循证医学证据。

Chronic hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) continues to pose a serious global health threat in many areas of the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, the Western Pacific Region and areas of Eastern Europe. Endemicity is heterogeneous within and across regions owing to variable implementation of childhood and birth-dose vaccination programs, inconsistent screening of blood products, injection drug use, and poor education initiatives. This review aims to provide comprehensive up-to-date estimates of global seroprevalence of chronic HBV across six World Health Organization (WHO) regions, noting patterns of change over time and highlighting potential region-specific barriers to the diagnosis and elimination of HBV.

Tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF), a new prodrug of tenofovir and a potential successor of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), has been approved in the United States and Europe for treating adolescents and adults with chronic hepatitis B infection. TAF is formulated to deliver the active metabolite to target cells more efficiently than TDF at lower doses, thereby reducing systemic exposure to tenofovir. In patients with chronic hepatitis B, TAF appears to be as effective as TDF, with lower bone and renal toxicity. TAF has the potential advantages that dose adjustment is not required in patients with renal impairment, and monitoring can be less intense because of the better safety profile. Results from 2 large, randomized, phase 3 studies after 48 weeks of therapy have shown that TAF may be a good alternative to TDF for treating chronic hepatitis B. Whether the short-term benefits observed in these 48-week trials will translate into improvements in bone and renal health in patients receiving long-term treatment remains to be seen.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a new prodrug of tenofovir developed to treat patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection at a lower dose than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) through more efficient delivery of tenofovir to hepatocytes. In 48-week results from two ongoing, double-blind, randomized phase III trials, TAF was non-inferior to TDF in efficacy with improved renal and bone safety. We report 96-week outcomes for both trials. METHODS: In two international trials, patients with chronic HBV infection were randomized 2:1 to receive 25mg TAF or 300mg TDF in a double-blinded fashion. One study enrolled HBeAg-positive patients and the other HBeAg-negative patients. We assessed efficacy in each study, and safety in the pooled population. RESULTS: At week 96, the differences in the rates of viral suppression were similar in HBeAg-positive patients receiving TAF and TDF (73% vs. 75%, respectively, adjusted difference -2.2% (95% CI -8.3 to 3.9%; p=0.47), and in HBeAg-negative patients receiving TAF and TDF (90% vs. 91%, respectively, adjusted difference -0.6% (95% CI -7.0 to 5.8%; p=0.84). In both studies the proportions of patients with alanine aminotransferase above the upper limit of normal at baseline, who had normal alanine aminotransferase at week 96 of treatment, were significantly higher in patients receiving TAF than in those receiving TDF. In the pooled safety population, patients receiving TAF had significantly smaller decreases in bone mineral density than those receiving TDF in the hip (mean % change -0.33% vs. -2.51%; p<0.001) and lumbar spine (mean % change -0.75% vs. -2.57%; p<0.001), as well as a significantly smaller median change in estimated glomerular filtration rate by Cockcroft-Gault method (-1.2 vs. -4.8mg/dl; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: In patients with HBV infection, TAF remained as effective as TDF, with continued improved renal and bone safety, two years after the initiation of treatment. Clinicaltrials.gov number: NCT01940471 and NCT01940341. LAY SUMMARY: At week 96 of two ongoing studies comparing the efficacy and safety of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B patients, TAF continues to be as effective as TDF with continued improved renal and bone safety. Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov number: NCT01940471 and NCT01940341.

Abstract

Objectives

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a condition that results in substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide because of progressive liver damage. Investigators undertaking economic evaluations of new therapeutic agents require estimates of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate that differences in cultural backgrounds have a quantifiable impact on perceptions of health. The objective was to elicit utilities for six health states that occur after infection with the hepatitis B virus from infected and uninfected respondents living in jurisdictions with low and with high CHB endemicity.

Methods

Standard gamble utilities were elicited from hepatitis patients and uninfected respondents using an interviewer-administered survey in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Hong Kong, and mainland China. Generalized linear models were used to the effect on utilities of current health, age and sex, jurisdiction and, for infected respondents, current disease state.

Results

The sample included 534 CHB-infected patients and 600 uninfected respondents. CHB and compensated cirrhosis had a moderate impact on HRQOL with utilities ranging from 0.68 to 0.80. Decompensated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma had a stronger impact with utilities ranging from 0.35 to 0.41. Significant variation was observed between countries, with both types of respondents in mainland China and Hong Kong reporting systematically lower utilities.

Conclusions

Health states related to CHB infection have substantial reductions in HRQOL and the utilities reported in this study provide valuable information for comparing new treatment options. The observed intercountry differences suggest that economic evaluations may benefit from country-specific utility estimates. The extent that systematic intercountry differences in utilities hold true for other infectious and chronic diseases remains an open question and has considerable implications for the proper conduct and interpretation of economic evaluations.

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is a prodrug of tenofovir (TFV) currently in clinical evaluation for treatment for HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. Since the target tissue for HBV is the liver, the hepatic delivery and metabolism of TAF in primary human hepatocytes in vitro and in dogs in vivo were evaluated here. Incubation of primary human hepatocytes with TAF resulted in high levels of the pharmacologically active metabolite tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP), which persisted in the cell with a half-life of >24 h. In addition to passive permeability, studies of transfected cell lines suggest that the hepatic uptake of TAF is also facilitated by the organic anion-transporting polypeptides 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, respectively). In order to inhibit HBV reverse transcriptase, TAF must be converted to the pharmacologically active form, TFV-DP. While cathepsin A is known to be the major enzyme hydrolyzing TAF in cells targeted by HIV, including lymphocytes and macrophages, TAF was primarily hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in primary human hepatocytes, with cathepsin A making a small contribution. Following oral administration of TAF to dogs for 7 days, TAF was rapidly absorbed. The appearance of the major metabolite TFV in plasma was accompanied by a rapid decline in circulating TAF. Consistent with the in vitro data, high and persistent levels of TFV-DP were observed in dog livers. Notably, higher liver TFV-DP levels were observed after administration of TAF than those given TDF. These results support the clinical testing of once-daily low-dose TAF for the treatment of HBV infection.
