Cost-effectiveness analysis of increased adalimumab dose intervals in Crohn's disease patients in stable remission: the randomized controlled LADI trial
Background and Aims
We aimed to assess cost-effectiveness of increasing adalimumab dose intervals compared to the conventional dosing interval in patients with Crohn’s disease [CD] in stable clinical and biochemical remission.
Design
We conducted a pragmatic, open-label, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial, comparing increased adalimumab intervals with the 2-weekly interval in adult CD patients in clinical remission. Quality of life was measured with the EQ-5D-5L. Costs were measured from a societal perspective. Results are shown as differences and incremental net monetary benefit [iNMB] at relevant willingness to accept [WTA] levels.
Results
We randomized 174 patients to the intervention [n = 113] and control [n = 61] groups. No difference was found in utility (difference: −0.017, 95% confidence interval [−0.044; 0.004]) and total costs (−€943, [−€2226; €1367]) over the 48-week study...

We randomized 174 patients to the intervention [n = 113] and control [n = 61] groups. No difference was found in utility (difference: −0.017, 95% confidence interval [−0.044; 0.004]) and total costs (−€943, [−€2226; €1367]) over the 48-week study period between the two groups. Medication costs per patient were lower (−€2545, [−€2780; −€2192]) in the intervention group, but non-medication healthcare (+€474, [+€149; +€952]) and patient costs (+€365 [+€92; €1058]) were higher. Cost–utility analysis showed that the iNMB was €594 [−€2099; €2050], €69 [−€2908; €1965] and −€455 [−€4,096; €1984] at WTA levels of €20 000, €50 000 and €80 000, respectively. Increasing adalimumab dose intervals was more likely to be cost-effective at WTA levels below €53 960 per quality-adjusted life year. Above €53 960 continuing the conventional dose interval was more likely to be cost-effective.
Conclusion
When the loss of a quality-adjusted life year is valued at less than €53 960, increasing the adalimumab dose interval is a cost-effective strategy in CD patients in stable clinical and biochemical remission.
