Results of the first-ever cost-effectiveness study of a Factor XI inhibitor were presented today during sessions of the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) annual meeting.

Key Points: 
  • Results of the first-ever cost-effectiveness study of a Factor XI inhibitor were presented today during sessions of the Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) annual meeting.
  • The analysis indicates that abelacimab could offer a potential cost-savings of $50,000 USD and improvements of 1.5 quality-adjusted life years (QALY’s) per person over a lifetime horizon as compared to rivaroxaban, a commonly used direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC).
  • If approved by US regulatory authorities, abelacimab could be a highly cost-effective anticoagulant option.
  • The great promise of a factor XI inhibitor such as abelacimab, rests largely with the ability to prevent thrombosis with minimal disruption of hemostasis.
