Resource impact summary report

Resource impact summary report

This summary report is based on the NICE assumptions used in the resource impact template. Users can amend the 'Population and treatments' and 'Unit costs' worksheets in the template to reflect local data and assumptions.

Financial and capacity resource impact

The key driver of resource impact is that there is no alternative treatment to teplizumab that is being displaced. So, teplizumab is an add-on cost to existing established clinical management.

The company has a commercial arrangement. This makes teplizumab available to the NHS at a discount.

Users can input the confidential price of teplizumab and amend other variables in the resource impact template.

The payment mechanism for the technology is determined by the responsible commissioner and depends on whether the technology is classified as high cost.

Table 1 shows the impact on capacity activity in each of the next 3 years, based on people tested who have a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes.

Table 2 shows the potential savings resulting from delaying the onset of type 1 diabetes by prescribing teplizumab. This is based on the expected uptake shown in table 3.

Eligible population for teplizumab

Table 3 shows the population who are eligible for teplizumab per 10,000 people tested with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes. It also shows the number of people who are expected to have teplizumab in each of the next 3 years, excluding forecast population growth.

The following assumptions have been used to calculate the eligible population:

  • The eligible population is based on testing 10,000 people with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes for autoantibodies per year.

  • The results of testing are based on the ELSA study.

The uptake for teplizumab is based on company information.

Treatment options for the eligible population

The comparator treatments for the eligible population are established clinical management. No costs are included in the tools for this because it is expected to continue with the addition of teplizumab.

For more information about the treatments, such as dose and average treatment duration, see the resource impact template.

About this resource impact summary report

This resource impact summary report accompanies the NICE technology appraisal guidance on teplizumab for delaying the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes in people 8 years and over with stage 2 type 1 diabetes and should be read with it.
