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: …

Estimation of the Percentage of US Patients With Cancer Who Are Eligible for and Respond to Checkpoint Inhibitor Immunotherapy Drugs
checkpoint inhibitor drugs, immunotherapy drugs, FDA, checkpoint, inhibitor, drugs
If FDA-approved checkpoint inhibitor drugs are universally available, we estimated that the proportion of US patients with cancer who could be eligible for such drugs is approximately 44%, while approximately 13% have a response to these drugs. These estimates, although modest, are better than estim…
