description <p><strong>Aims:&nbsp;</strong>To estimate the potential cost-effectiveness of adalimumab compared with standard care alone for the treatment of early-stage Dupuytren&rsquo;s disease (DD) and the value of further research from an NHS perspective.</p> <p><strong>Methods:&nbsp;</strong>We used data from the Repurposing anti-TNF for Dupuytren&rsquo;s disease (RIDD) randomized controlled trial of intranodular adalimumab injections in patients with early-stage progressive DD. RIDD found that intranodular adalimumab injections reduced nodule hardness and size in patients with early-stage DD, indicating the potential to control disease progression. A within-trial cost-utility analysis compared four adalimumab injections with no further treatment against standard care alone, taking a 12-month time horizon and using prospective data on EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and resource use from the RIDD trial. We also developed a patient-level simulation model similar to a Markov model to extrapolate trial outcomes over a lifetime using data from the RIDD trial and a literature review. This also evaluated repeated courses of adalimumab each time the nodule reactivated (every three years) in patients who initially responded.</p> <p><strong>Results:&nbsp;</strong>The within-trial economic evaluation found that adalimumab plus standard care cost &pound;503,410 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained versus standard care alone over a 12-month time horizon. The model-based extrapolation suggested that, over a lifetime, repeated courses of adalimumab could cost &pound;14,593 (95% confidence interval &pound;7,534 to &pound;42,698) per QALY gained versus standard care alone. If the NHS was willing to pay &pound;20,000/QALY gained, there is a 77% probability that adalimumab with retreatment is the best value for money.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:&nbsp;</strong>Repeated courses of adalimumab are likely to be a cost-effective treatment for progressive early-stage DD. The value of perfect parameter information that would eliminate all uncertainty around the parameters estimated in RIDD and the duration of quiescence was estimated to be &pound;105 per patient or &pound;272 million for all 2,584,411 prevalent cases in the UK.</p>
