Aakash Desai: Efficacy, Innovation and Cost of FDA-Approved NSCLC Drugs
Aakash Desai, Assistant Professor at O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, shared on LinkedIn:
“We’re excited to share our poster from ESMO24 on the ‘Efficacy, Innovation and Cost of FDA-Approved NSCLC Drugs’, co-authored with Daniel Michaeli and team.
Key Insights:
- 64% of FDA-approved drugs for NSCLC have biomarker-based targets like EGFR, ALK, and PD-L1.
- The average time from IND to FDA approval is 1.8 years shorter for NSCLC drugs.
- Drugs with biomarkers demonstrated significantly greater overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
- Median monthly cost for NSCLC treatments is $18,822, with biomarker-based therapies often priced higher.
These findings highlight the balance between innovation and cost in lung cancer treatment. Let’s continue working towards more effective and accessible options for patients!”
