AbstractAim: To estimate financial implications of adopting niraparib as maintenance treatment in recurrent ovarian cancer. Materials & methods: A model was developed to estimate the budget impact of treating patients with niraparib compared with alternative maintenance treatment options (olaparib, rucaparib, bevacizumab or 'watch and wait') over 3 years. Results: For a hypothetical plan with 1 million lives representative of US/Medicare-only populations, projected cost savings with niraparib were US$78,721/$293,723, $276,671/$1,009,729 and $353,585/$1,289,712 at years 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Sensitivity analyses showed prices of niraparib, rucaparib and olaparib to have the most significant impact on the budget. Conclusion: Factoring in all treatment-related costs, the use of niraparib could result in significant cost savings compared with other maintenance treatment options.
