Study

Main Conclusion

Chaudhary (2021)

Trial data demonstrated that nivolumab is associated with increased OS and response rates compared with docetaxel in patients with advanced pre-treated squamous, and suggested that nivolumab generates more favorable ICERs

Gao (2018)

The treatment with nivolumab cannot be considered cost-effective.

Goeree (2016)

For patients with advanced squamous NSCLC, nivolumab was found to have the highest expected per patient cost, but also higher LYs and QALYs compared to docetaxel.

Chouaid (2019)

Pembrolizumab appears cost-effective versus chemotherapy for first-line treatment of PD-L1positive (50%) metastatic NSCLC patients

Rothwell (2021)

Nivolumab versus docetaxel is cost effective for treating locally advanced/metastatic squamous NSCLC

Hu (2023)

Nivolumab yielded survival and quality-adjusted survival benefits at incremental cost versus docetaxel in aNSCLC.

Zhao (2023)

Paclitaxel and platinum combined with camrelizumab are the cost-effective treatment

Cheng (2022)

For Chinese patients with driver-negative advanced or metastatic sqNSCLC, reserving the use of sintilimab until the second-line represents a cost-effective treatment strategy compared with the first-line treatment.

Insinga (2019)

The addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy is projected to approximately double life expectancy, and can be a cost-effective first-line treatment for eligible metastatic squamous NSCLC patients for whom chemotherapy is currently administered.

Liu (2022)

For the squamous NSCLC patient population, the first-line Pembro + Chemo as a cost-effective treatment.

Zhou (2023)

Toripalimab plus chemotherapy was an optimal choice as first-line treatment.

Li (2022)

Sugemalimab plus chemotherapy was not cost-effective in comparison to placebo plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for NSCLC, regardless of PD-L1 tumor expression level and pathological subtype.

Chen (2022)

Compared with pembrolizumab + chemotherapy, sintilimab + chemotherapy is more cost-effective for first-line treatment in Chinese patients with advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC.

Shao (2022)

Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy was unlikely to be cost-effective compared with chemotherapy in the first line therapy of sq-NSCLC from a perspective of the Chinese healthcare system

Zhang (2023)

Toripalimab plus chemotherapy was cost-effective compared to chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC in China.
