2024P - Supportive measures to control myelosuppression and costs for patients with SCLC with lurbinectedin, CAV or topotecan with or without trilaciclib: A review on the basis of clinical trials

Background

Chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression (CIM) has an important impact on patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Health Systems. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF), platelet and red blood cell (RBC) transfusions or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (EPO) are standard treatments. Trilaciclib is indicated to decrease the incidence of CIM when administered before topotecan. The occurrence of CIM events with standard of care (SoC) chemotherapies for relapsed SCLC and supportive care interventions were investigated.

Methods

Inputs were obtained from clinical trials with lurbinectedin (Basket NCT02454972), topotecan after trilaciclib or placebo (NCT02514447), CAV and topotecan (ATLANTIS, NCT02566993) that reported key measures of CIM and supportive care. Therapies were offered mainly as 2L. Cost analysis was performed for grade ≥3 events. Unit costs were obtained from the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set (€, 2023).

Results

Patients treated with lurbinectedin experienced fewer CIM events than those treated with topotecan, either with or without prior administration of trilaciclib, or with CAV and require less supportive treatments (Table). Lurbinectedin would reduce costs of managing CIM events by 43% - 69% (58% compared to trilaciclib followed by topotecan). Table: 2024P

Conclusions

Patients with relapsed SCLC treated with lurbinectedin require fewer resources and less cost for managing CIM episodes than other SoC, including topotecan with prior trilaciclib, based on clinical trials.
