With increasing health care spending and drug prices, it is important to quantify the value of newly available treatment options for PMO. Objective: To determine cost-effectiveness of ABL compared with teriparatide (TPTD) for treatment of women with PMO in the United States. Methods: A discrete-event simulation (DES) model was developed to assess cost-effectiveness of ABL from the US health care perspective. The model included three 18-month treatment strategies with either placebo (PBO), TPTD, or ABL, all followed by additional 5-year treatment with alendronate (ALN). High-risk patients were defined as women with PMO \u2a7e65 years old with a prior vertebral fracture. Baseline clinical event rates, risk reductions, and patient characteristics were based on the Abaloparatide Comparator Trial in Vertebral Endpoints (ACTIVE) trial. Results: Over a 10-year period, the DES model yielded average total discounted per-patient costs of $10 212, $46 783, and $26 837 and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of 6.742, 6.781, and 6.792 for PBO\/ALN, TPTD\/ALN, and ABL\/ALN, respectively. Compared with TPTD\/ALN, ABL\/ALN accrued higher QALYs at lower cost and produced an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $333 266\/QALY relative to PBO\/ALN. In high-risk women, ABL\/ALN also had more QALYs and less cost over TPTD\/ALN and yielded an ICER of $188 891\/QALY relative to PBO\/ALN. Conclusion and Relevance: ABL is a dominant treatment strategy over TPTD. In women with PMO at high risk of fracture, ABL is an alternative cost-effective treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1060028018798034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]],"date-time":"2018-08-30T07:32:01Z","timestamp":1535614321000},"page":"134-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Sequential Treatment of Abaloparatide Followed by Alendronate Versus Teriparatide Followed by Alendronate in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4968-9334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Quang A.","family":"Le","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel W.","family":"Hay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Russell","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Russell Becker Consulting, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yamei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radius Health, Inc, Parsippany, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.285.6.785"},{"key":"bibr2-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-004-1702-6"},{"key":"bibr3-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-009-0920-3"},{"key":"bibr4-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.2269"},{"key":"bibr5-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.061113"},{"key":"bibr6-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2011-2332"},{"key":"bibr7-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.11136"},{"key":"bibr8-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2016.10.009"},{"key":"bibr9-1060028018798034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2018-00163"},{"key":"bibr10-1060028018798034","unstructured":"Davis S, Stevenson M, Tappenden P, Wailoo AJ.
