Popis: Objective: to evaluate the pharmacoeconomic feasibility of using monoclonal antibodies or their combinations vs standard therapy in patients with mild and moderate-severe COVID-19 in order to prevent the severe course of the disease.Material and methods. The decision tree and Markov models for calculation of costs and outcomes were used for patients with COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome, respectively. The cost-effectiveness of tixagevimab and cilgavimab was evaluated in persons ≥18 years old not vaccinated against COVID-19 with a high risk of progression to severe COVID-19. Effectiveness and safety of tixagevimab and cilgavimab combination was assessed based on TACKLE phase III study results. The quantities of life years gained (LYG) and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) were calculated. Results were compared with the wiliness-to-pay threshold measured as tripled gross domestic product per capita according the World Health Organization recommendations.Results. Treatment of COVID-19 with tixagevimab and cilgavimab results in additional 0.2657 LIGs or 0.2255 QALYs. The cost of 1 LIG was 213,4 thousand rubles, the cost of 1 QALY was 251,5 thousand rubles. Both costs of LIG and QALY appeared to be significantly less compared to the wiliness-to-pay threshold equal to 3.09 million rubles in 2022.Conclusion. Treatment of mild and moderate-severe COVID-19 is economically feasible and may be recommended for wide use in the Russian healthcare system.
