OBJECTIVES: As the treatment landscape evolves for Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), understanding treatment patterns and burden of illness may inform clinical decision-making. We assessed real world healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs for patients (pts) with MCL in the 1L and R/R setting.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study using administrative claims data from Optum Clinformatics Data Mart of pts diagnosed with MCL from Jan 2017 to Sept 2023. Pts were required to be ≥18 years of age and received ≥1 approved medication for MCL. All-cause and MCL-specific total healthcare costs were obtained as a sum of medication and medical costs. Healthcare costs and HRU were expressed as per pt per month (PPPM).
RESULTS: A total of 949 pts in 1L [CT/CIT: 71.2%; BTKis: 10.6%; antiCD20s: 13.1%; other targeted agents: 5.0%; CAR-T: 0.1%] were included with a median age of 73.0 years. Mean all-cause costs were $20,826 PPPM [BTKi: $24,410; CT/CIT: $20,948; CAR-T: $19,143]. 57.4% and 55.5% of pts receiving BTKis and CT/CIT, respectively, had ≥1 hospitalization with a mean duration of 3.3 and 2.1 days.
In second line (n=262), pts demonstrated increased utilization of BTKis and CAR-T [54.2% and 2.3%, respectively] and a decrease of CT/CIT [25.6%]. Mean all-cause total costs increased to $26,536 PPPM [BTKi: $28,888; CT/CIT: $25,210; CAR-T: $47,670]. 48.6%, 60.0% and 100% of pts receiving BTKis, CT/CIT and CAR-T, respectively had ≥1 hospitalization PPPM [mean duration 4.4, 3.2 and 6.6 days, respectively].
Similar trends were observed in third line (n=79). MCL-specific costs and HRU also showed a similar pattern across lines of therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased utilization and higher mean costs were observed with BTKis and CAR-Ts across line of therapies in MCL. These results demonstrate the need for consideration of costs/HRU in MCL clinical decision-making, especially with respect to possible financial toxicity for patients.
