Abstract

Treatment options in oncology have increased in recent years due to the quick pace of innovation. In the cancer care landscape, therapies that enable patients to live to the next innovation have additional value, “option value,” from the benefit of surviving to the next innovation. In such disease areas, providers and payers should consider this value when gauging the value of new therapies. The purpose of this study is to develop a model to estimate the additional survival patients attain from a therapy that allows them to live to benefit from further advances in care, and to apply the model to immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma.
