1 COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION TREATMENT GUIDELINES IN AFRICA Eran Bendavid Philip Grant, Annie Talbot, Douglas Owens, Andrew Zolopa Stanford University

2 Motivation (1) – new guidelines 2  When to start: CD4 count of 350 cells/mm 3  What to start: one of four regimens containing AZT, TDF, NVP, or EFV  What not to start: regimens containing d4T

3 Motivation (2) – resource environment 3

4 Next few slides 4  Framing the question  Approach 1. Model structure 2. Assumptions  Results 1. Comparative effectiveness 2. Cost-effectiveness  Implications

5 Evaluating the WHO guidelines 5 What is the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the 1 st line regimens recommended in the new guidelines, as well as the regimen in most common use? 1. Tenofovir + lamivudine + efavirenz (TDF/3TC/EFV) 2. Tenofovir + lamivudine + nevirapine (TDF/3TC/NVP) 3. Zidovudine + lamivudine + efavirenz (AZT/3TC/EFV) 4. Zidovudine+ lamivudine+ nevirapine (AZT/3TC/NVP) 5. Stavudine + lamivudine + nevirapine (d4T/3TC/NVP)

6 Model structure Badri (Lancet 2006), Lawn (AIDS 2009), Holmes (JAIDS 2006) 6  Simulation of HIV disease and treatment calibrated to South African data  Simulated individual patient histories  Calculate population average life expectancies, quality-adjusted life expectancies, and costs  A few illustrative patient histories look like this…

20 Implications 13  d4T-containing regimens are more expensive and less effective than AZT-containing regimens, supporting their elimination from the guidelines  While there are no trials directly comparing AZT/3TC/EFV with TDF/3TC/NVP, the latter appears to be more effective and less costly than the former under a broad set of assumptions  Consideration should be given to recommending TDF/3TC/NVP over AZT/3TC/EFV in usual circumstances  Using World Health Organization thresholds for cost-effectiveness TDF/3TC/NVP may be considered cost-effective in most African settings, but AZT/3TC/NVP is the least costly regimen

26 Assumption 1 – virologic failure 8 Risk of virologic failure varies by ART regimen  Lowest failure: tenofovir + lamivudine + efavirenz  2 nd lowest: zidovudine + lamivudine + efavirenz  3 rd and 4 th lowest: tenofovir + lamivudine + nevirapine ; stavudine + lamivudine + nevirapine  Highest failure: zidovudine + lamivudine + nevirapine

27 Assumption 2 of 3 9 ARV drugs have associated risk of toxicities  Stavudine (lipoatrophy, neuropathy, lactic acidosis)  Zidovudine (lipoatrophy, anemia)  Tenofovir (lipoatrophy, renal failure)  Nevirapine (hepatotoxicity) Quality of life is decreased with toxicities (least with lipoatrophy, most with lactic acidosis)
