A cost-effectiveness analysis comparing pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for advanced biliary tract cancer: US and China perspectives

In the US and China, pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy may not be a cost-effective treatment option. This study provides evidence-based pricing strategies that may benefit decision makers and clinicians as they make clinical decisions. For a better understanding of the impact on budgets and the affordability of care for patients, more evidence is required.

Abstract

In the US and China, pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy may not be a cost-effective treatment option. This study provides evidence-based pricing strategies that may benefit decision makers and clinicians as they make clinical decisions. For a better understanding of the impact on budgets and the affordability of care for patients, more evidence is required.
