Building a Healthcare Alliance for Resourceful Medicine Offensive Against Neoplasms in Hematology Added Value Framework for Hematologic Malignancies: A Comparative Analysis of Existing Tools
clinical value framework, hematology, Healthcare Alliance for Resourceful Medicine, Offensive Against Neoplasms in hematology, patient-reported outcomes, HARMONY, analysis
Current Value Frameworks (VFs) have limitations and do not meet HARMONY's ambitions for assessing the therapeutic/clinical value of innovative health technologies. There is a need for a cross-stakeholder agreement on the definition of "value," which varies among patients, clinicians, and payers. …

Assessment of Whether the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Value Framework and the European Society for Medical Oncology's Magnitude of Clinical Benefit
ASCO, ESMO, value frameworks, randomized controlled trials, ASCO-CBS, ESMO-PMCBG
The ASCO-VF and ESMO-MCBS frameworks currently lack the ability to measure absolute survival benefit, which limits their effectiveness in comparing clinical benefits across different drugs and in establishing value. The authors of the ASCO framework have acknowledged the need for both relative and a…

Comparison of Long-term Survival Benefits in Trials of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor vs Non-Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Anticancer Agents Using ASCO Value Framework and ESMO Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale
immunotherapy-triggered LTP, RCTs, FDA, ICI
Importance: Anticancer agents, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have shown potential for long-term durable survival in some patients. However, traditional clinical benefit measures may not accurately capture this, leading to proposed amendments in valuation frameworks. Objectives: …
