Here, we report the first comparative analysis of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy vs standard-of-care (SOC) in second-line relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL) from pivotal randomized phase 3 ZUMA-7 study axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) SOC. PRO instruments were administered at baseline, day 50, 100, 150, month 9, and every months randomization until 24 or an event-free survival event. The quality life (QoL) set comprised...

Deucravacitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor, is approved in the United States to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO). This study compared long-term efficacies of deucravacitinib and adalimumab using results from extension (LTE) trials. Open-label LTE trials were identified for indirect treatment comparison (deucravacitinib: POETYK PSO-LTE [NCT04036435]; adalimumab: REVEAL [NCT00195676]). To ensure design comparability, patients initially randomized...

Abstract Aims The Cardiovascular Outcomes for People Using Anticoagulation Strategies (COMPASS) trial demonstrated that rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID with aspirin 100 was more effective than daily alone the prevention of cardiovascular (CV) death, stroke, or myocardial infarction in patients stable coronary artery disease (CAD) peripheral (PAD). We aimed to examine cost-effectiveness using patient-level data from COMPASS trial. Methods and results performed an in-trial analysis extrapolated our 33...

African American men have a higher burden of prostate cancer compared with other populations. We sought to determine if they experience disparities in access clinical trials.We created database all US counties by linking trial data county-level socioeconomic, demographic, and health-care facility derived from several external sources. Using this linkage, we examined 2 potential barriers. investigated the relationship between proportion Americans facilities, adjusting for county population...

Abstract Objectives: Evidence on the comparison of treatments for hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) in a US population is limited. An indirect terlipressin plus albumin versus midodrine and octreotide (MO) may provide further insight into treatment efficacy. Methods: Cohorts patients treated HRS-AKI characterized by serum creatinine [SCr] < 5 mg/dL, baseline acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) grades 0-2, exclusion listed transplant if MELD ≥ 35 were pooled from 1)...

Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily with aspirin 100 was shown to be better than for preventing cardiovascular (CV) death, stroke or myocardial infarction in patients either stable coronary artery disease (CAD) peripheral (PAD). The cost-effectiveness of this regimen population is essential decision-makers know. US direct healthcare system costs (in USD) were applied hospitalized events, procedures and study drugs utilized by all patients. We determined the mean cost per participant full duration...

Aim: To evaluate the economic and humanistic burden of ovarian cancer in USA. Methods: Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data (2007-2018) were used to estimate all-cause healthcare resource use costs for examine activities daily living quality-of-life (QoL) measures between patients a non-cancer population. Results: Compared with controls, had more comorbidities worse QoL. Their predicted number annual hospitalizations office-based visits was significantly higher, as their estimated total...

Previous analyses using the SEER-Medicare database have reported substantial underutilization of hypomethylating agents (HMAs) among patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and an association between poor HMA persistence high economic burden. We aimed to compare rates hospitalizations emergency room (ER) visits MDS according use or non-use therapy, explore factors associated early discontinuation therapy.We used 2010-2016 identify aged ≥66 years a new diagnosis refractory...

Deucravacitinib demonstrated superior efficacy to apremilast in patients with moderate severe plaque psoriasis the POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2 clinical trials. In study reported here, we aimed determine overall 52-week cumulative benefit of treatment initiated deucravacitinib versus compare initiating staying on continuing or switching at week 24 treatment. This post hoc analysis data (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03624127) determined 6 mg once daily 30 twice adults psoriasis. Patients...

Meta-analyzing count data can be challenging when follow-up time varies across studies. Simply pooling aggregate over time-periods would result in biased estimates, which may erroneously inform clinical decision-making. In this study, we exploit the convolution property of Poisson distribution to develop a likelihood for observed cumulative counts varying periods, where different distributions are used represent generating processes latent pre-defined successive intervals follow-up. We...
