From the public summary
The PBAC did not recommend ixazomib, in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (ILd), for the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) after at least two prior therapies. The PBAC considered that although ILd appeared to have a benefit in terms of progression free survival (PFS) over the nominated comparator, lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (Ld), the impact on overall survival (OS) was uncertain.PSD · Mar 2022
The PBAC noted that the comments from consumers and from Myeloma Australia, Myeloma Australia’s Medical and Scientific Group (MSAG) and The Leukaemia Foundation were all in support of the requested listing for ILd, describing the ongoing need for additional treatment options for RRMM patients.PSD · Mar 2022
The resubmission presented a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and a cost-utility analysis (CUA). Health benefits were reported as life years (LYs) gained and quality adjusted life years (QALYs) gained. The key points from the economic evaluation are summarised in Table 12. 23PSD · Mar 2022

The PBAC noted and welcomed the input from individuals (10) and organisations (3) via the Consumer Comments facility on the PBS website. The comments from individuals described the impact of multiple myeloma, the desire for access to additional treatments and the benefits associated with ILd as it is an oral triplet regimen.PSD · Mar 2022
