Cost-effectiveness

Cost-minimisation analysis; no ICER calculated by design.

The PBAC noted that the VIKING-3 study used a dose of 50 mg dolutegravir twice daily in patients with documented INI resistance mutations. The PBAC considered that this difference in dose would affect the cost-minimisation analysis and should be accounted for in the determination of the appropriate cost-minimised price for dolutegravir.
