Background:
A brand name oral chemotherapy drug used to treat white blood cell cancers (lymphomas) is available in 70mg capsules and 140mg capsules.
Opportunity:
We identified members taking six 70mg capsules (lower strength) daily—a higher-cost regimen compared to three 140mg capsules (higher strength) daily.
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
