Results

Testing for CDX2 followed by FOLFOX for CDX2-negative patients had an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $5,500/QALY compared to no CDX2 testing and no FOLFOX (6.874 vs. 6.838 discounted QALYs, and $89,991 vs. $89,797 discounted USD lifetime costs). In sensitivity analyses, considering a cost-effectiveness threshold of $100,000/QALY, testing for CDX2 followed by FOLFOX on CDX2-negative patients remains cost-effective for hazard ratios less than 0.975 of the effectiveness of FOLFOX in CDX2-negative patients in reducing the rate of developing a metastatic recurrence.

Conclusion

Testing stage II colon cancer patients’ tumor for CDX2 and administration of adjuvant treatment to the subgroup found CDX2-negative is a cost-effective and high-value management strategy across a broad range of plausible assumptions.
