Outline•

Rationale for using decision analysis modeling in HIV•

Overview of CEPAC model•

Model validation and calibration•

Examples of analyses using CEPAC model–

Life expectancy projections–

Cost-effectiveness of specific treatment strategies–

Informing design of clinical trials•

Challenges–

Need to make decisions in the absence of data•

Policy decisions in developing countries

Finding the ‘right’

data–

Prospective collaboration vs. retrospective secondary data analysis

Question

• How can we use epidemiologic, clinical, and economic data to understand current and project future impact and value of strategies for HIV treatment?

Ideal Means of Evaluation

• Evaluations of strategies related to timing and sequencing of antiretroviral agents would require large-scale randomized trials with HIV-related mortality as the primary outcome

Page 6: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

Barriers to Design of Such Trials• Feasibility:–

Size

– Recruitment

– Cost

– Time horizon

– Concern about results being outdated

INITIO study of initial HIV therapy was designed, enrolled, and conducted over six years. By the time results were presented in 2005, none of the original regimens were considered standard because of new evidence regarding toxicity or potency.

Role of Decision Sciences

• Synthesize data from multiple sources

• Help decision-makers understand the likely impact of different strategies and set priorities for further data acquisition

• Offer a practical framework for managing uncertainty via sensitivity and “what-if”

analyses• Permit analyses that extrapolate beyond the limitations of time horizons, geographic settings, and target populations

Goal to Convince You …

1.

Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy

2.

Data collected within epidemiologic studies can provide tremendous insight into policy

HIV Clinical Policy Questions•

U.S.–

When should we start ART? Will RCT provide the answers? When?–

How do we identify patients earlier? Is routine HIV testing cost-

effective?

What are lifetime costs of HIV-infected patients?–

Should we be doing genotypic resistance testing on all naïve patients before starting ART? At what prevalence of resistance?

What is the per-person and population level impact of late initiation and premature discontinuation?

International –

What will be the impact on life expectancy, cost and cost-

effectiveness of ART in South Africa? Côte d’Ivoire? India?

Are second-line regimens cost-effective?–

When to start?

Cost Analysis

HIV Cost and Services Utilization Study (HCSUS) US$18,300/patient/year 1998–

Bozette, N Engl J Med 2001•

Estimated HIV care cost is $618,900 per person/2004 US$ –

Schackman, Med Care 2006, CEPAC, based on HIVRN data•

$9.2 Billion for HIV/AIDS care in low-middle income countries –

Schwartlander, Science 2001

Page 11: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

Cost-effectiveness Analysis

• Two different outcome measures– Cost ($)– Effectiveness: Years of life saved (YLS)

QALYs• Cost-effectiveness ratio:

Additional Cost:Additional QALYs

• The value of resources spent

Page 12: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

Who Cares?

• All about limited resources

• Need and capability exceed resources–

Individual, state, national, global

• Challenges–

Medicaid

– HDAP

– South Africa Ministry of Health

– PEPFAR

Informing the Design of Clinical Trials

Page 43: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

New Motivation to Address “When to Start”

ART

• Increased stability in ART regimens

• ‘ART effect’

may be greater at higher CD4

• SMART study suggests that AIDS and non-AIDS related events were decreased on ART• Another reason to consider earlier therapy

Page 44: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

To ‘Trial’ or Not to ‘Trial’

Will results will be obsolete by the time they are available?•

Long enrollment period: are there enough patients to study?•

Is it too expensive given the information to be learned?•

Where should it be done: developed vs. developing countries?

Is there enough data to inform the design of a trial?• US

• Developing countries

Main Findings

Hazard ratios change over time•

Hazard ratios for immediate therapy are further from 1.0 early and closer to 1.0 later

Time dependence of hazard ratios is partially due to:

The independent “ART effect”–

Differential incidence of ‘outcomes’

high CD4 cell strata: 200-350, 350-500, >500

Including non-CD4-dependent, “non-HIV” events

increases the needed sample size (not shown)

Page 51: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

Lessons Learned• Optimal timing of when to start ART is of fundamental importance

• The answer is critical to individual survival, costs of care and global health policy

• The trial feasibility is a function of –

Definition of primary endpoint

– OI incidence in different regions of the world

– Diagnostic criteria

– Prevalence and incidence of HIV

Page 52: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

Challenges

• Data are incomplete in many areas

• Models are approximations of reality

• Tension between model complexity and data availability

Page 53: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

How to Overcome Challenges

• Prospective collaborations vs. retrospective secondary data analysis

• Participation in the design of study instruments

• Collaborative analyses–

ALLRT

Page 54: Using Decision Analysis Modeling to Translate ... · Decision science and cost-effectiveness analysis are critical for informing health policy 2. Data collected within epidemiologic

Conclusions

• Critical questions at the interface of HIV clinical care, epidemiology and policy in every country in the world

• Decision analysis is a method to integrate data from many sources to help inform optimal testing and treatment strategies for HIV
