Background:

A brand name oral chemotherapy drug used to treat white blood cell cancers (lymphomas) is available in 70mg capsules and 140mg capsules.  

Opportunity:

Result:

Drug titration regimen is unique and requires thoughtful evaluation to determine the most cost-effective dose. This simple regimen switch led to thousands of dollars in savings per day for the client and also reduced the member’s daily medication burden.    

Savings:

Cost Savings per Day: $2,446.93
