https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gdc6036.html Background In patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), tafamidis reduces all-cause mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations, and slows decline in quality-oflife compared with placebo. In May 2019, tafamidis received expedited approval from the US FDA as a breakthrough drug for a rare disease. However, at $225,000 per year, it is the most expensive cardiovascular drug ever launched in the US, and its long-term cost-effectiveness and budget impact are uncertain. We therefore sought to estimate the cost-effectiveness of tafamidis and its potential effect on US health care spending. Methods We developed a Markov model of patients with wild-type or variant ATTR-CM and heart failure (mean age 74.5 years) using inputs from the Transthyretin Amyloidosis Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trial (ATTR-ACT), published literature, US Food and Drug Administration review documents, healthcare claims, and national survey data. We compared no disease-specific treatment ("usual care") with tafamidis therapy. ThA 92.6% price reduction from $225,000 to $16,563 would be necessary to make tafamidis cost-effective at $100,000/QALY. Results were sensitive to assumptions related to long-term effectiveness of tafamidis. Treating all eligible patients with ATTR-CM in the US with tafamidis (n = 120,000) was estimated to increase annual healthcare spending by $32.3 billion. Conclusions Treatment with tafamidis is projected to produce substantial clinical benefit but would greatly exceed conventional cost-effectiveness thresholds at the current US list price. Based on recent US experience with high-cost cardiovascular medications, access to and uptake of this effective therapy may be limited unless there is a large reduction in drug costs.Abnormal blood pressure during pregnancy is associated with impaired fetal growth, predisposing the offspring to cardiometabolic abnormalities over the life-course.
