Build a Budget Impact Analysis Model
You are an employee at Novartis. The company is currently addressing potential exclusions from formulary due to the introductions of generic versions as well as the introduction of other branded competitors. The company would like to develop a budget impact analysis and understand the budget impact in the treatment of Newly diagnosed adult with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) in chronic phase for both the Commercial and Medicare populations. You are tasked with developing this analysis as an economic model and providing your senior management with the budget impact and per member per month (PMPM) impact for both payer types.
Additional key question to answer: What is the discount needed to stay cost neutral with generic versions as well other branded products that fall within the same therapeutic class (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) of the market uptake that must occur such that the budget impact to payers exceeds $0.05 PMPM at 3 years?
DMS:Dasatinib
Dosing: One pill, once daily, either in the morning or in the evening
Dosing is the same for both newly diagnosed and imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CP Ph+ CML patients. For patients taking Dasatinib 100 mg daily, a dose decrease to 20 mg should be considered.
