The within-trial cost-effectiveness analysis from a UK health-care perspective is presented using the resource usedata, quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), time on treatment (ToT), disease-free survival after treatment (DFS) and overall survival (OS) data.Quality-adjusted partitioned survival analysis and Kaplan–Meier Sample Average Estimator estimated QALYs and costs. Probabilisticsensitivity and subgroup analysis was undertaken.RESULTS: The 3M arm is less costly (-£4881; 95% CI: -£6269; -£3492) and entails (non-significant) QALY gains (0.08; 95% CI: −0.086;0.230) due to a better significant quality of life. The net monetary benefit was significantly higher in 3M under a wide range ofmonetary values of a QALY. The subgroup analysis found similar results for patients in the CAPOX regimen. However, for theFOLFOX regimen, 3M had lower QALYs than 6M (not statistically significant).CONCLUSIONS: Overall, 3M dominates 6M with no significant detrimental impact on QALYs. The results provide the economiccase that a 3M treatment strategy should be considered a new standard of care.
