Emerging Trends and Focus on Value
2 Introduction Owing to advances in early detection and treatment of cancer, people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis. Consequently, this has led to a growing proportion of long-term survivors and a subsequent rise in cancer costs. 1 As pressures to control costs escalate, stakeholders are pursuing methods to lower spending while preserving quality of care. 2
3 Increased Focus on the Value Several Drivers Have Led to an Increased Focus on the Value of Oncology Drugs Costs associated with cancer care are rising faster than costs in other medical sectors. For patients with cancer, two issues of critical importance are the cost of cancer drugs and the increased patient burden associated with rising deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. 2 This growing cost of care has led to an increased focus on the value of oncology drugs. The Number of Newly Diagnosed Cancers Increased by 35 % From 1.25 million in 1995 to 1.6 million in 2016 3,4 The growing and aging population drives demand for oncology services 5,6 Estimated Total Direct Cost of Cancer Care 11,12 $173 billion 2020 The Number of People Living After a Cancer Diagnosis in the US Increased by 100 % From 7 million in 1992 to 14 million in 2014 And is expected to rise to nearly 19 million by 2024 7 Once diagnosed, cancer patients are living longer than in the past, which is a driver of cost 1 $89 billion 2007 +94 % The role of personalized medicine grew From 13 products* in 2006 to 113 products* in 2014. 8 35% of novel new oncology drugs approved in 2015 were personalized medicines. 9 The continual innovation of targeted therapies contributes to the rising cost of cancer care 10 *Including personalized medicines, treatments, and diagnostics.
4 Measuring and Defining the Value of Oncology Drugs Key Stakeholders Have Developed New Ways to Measure Value of Oncology Drugs 13 Three major organizations NCCN Guidelines, ASCO, and ICER and a top cancer hospital Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have each launched their own approach to measuring value. These frameworks are representative of how costs are now being systematically considered in determining value. 13 Developed as tools to assist the physician and patient in shared decision making NCCN Guidelines with NCCN Evidence Blocks TM ASCO Value Framework 5 4 3 2 1 E = Efficacy of Regimen/Agent S = Safety of Regimen/Agent Q = Quality of Evidence C = Consistency of Evidence A = Affordability of Regimen/Agent E S Q C A Developed as methods to determine a value-based price for drugs Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Drug Abacus ICER Value Framework NCCN=National Comprehensive Cancer Network ; ASCO=American Society of Clinical Oncology; ICER=Institute for Clinical and Economic Review.
5 The Frameworks Have Varying Approaches for Assessing the Value of Drugs 13 ASCO Framework NCCN Evidence Blocks MSK Drug Abacus ICER Value Framework Developed as tools to assist the physician and patient in shared decision making Developed as methods to determine a value-based price for drugs Efficacy 3 3 3 3 Evidence Strength 3 3 Side Effects/Toxicity 3 3 3 Treatment Cost 3 3 3 3 Cost to Patient 3 Other Benefits 3 3 3 Disease Rarity/Severity 3 3 Population Health Burden (QALY) 3 3 Treatment Duration 3 Economic Evaluations 3 The key parameters used by all organizations to define value are: Clinical performance Cost No single tool is likely to emerge as the determiner of value, as stakeholders need multiple characteristics in a value tool, including 13 : Flexibility in accommodating any mitigating factors that influence value Evidence support for population health decisions Ability to personalize based on individual preferences Drug Abacus and ICER include other metrics such as: Disease burden Other economic evaluations QALY=quality-adjusted life-year.
6 Potential Implications of Current Trends and the Focus on Value for Stakeholders Value initiatives in oncology have potential implications for both payers and providers. 13 IMPACT ON PAYERS Coming from respected professional societies (ASCO and NCCN), these frameworks are likely to be considered for informational purposes at Pharmacy & Therapeutics drug reviews and, where applicable, may be used to create step edits or preferred therapies when multiple options and large price differentials exist In contrast, the framework produced by ICER is designed to identify the clinical rationale for a numerical value price of treatments, and there is some interest from payers, including Medicare, in applying its findings in this way IMPACT ON PROVIDERS In regards to emerging approaches to assessing value in cancer care, according to ASCO, oncologists have not only a role, but a responsibility to help address and manage the issue of high drug costs 14 The frameworks will likely be restricted to use on a case-by-case basis since there may be a need for the ability to accommodate individual preference and allow for personalization
ACCC s annual survey provides key insight into nationwide developments in the business of cancer care. This tool allows ACCC-member programs to evaluate their own organization s performance relative to similar organizations through a consistent and meaningful benchmark by highlighting Year 5 Survey results. The content is selected and controlled solely by the Association of Community Cancer Centers and is funded by Lilly USA. Lilly USA was not involved in the survey process, and the results and findings do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of Eli Lilly and Company.
