The study was based on indirect comparison between omalizumab and reslizumab in patients with severe asthma using published data. Costs of treatment with omalizumab, reslizumab, combinations of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-agonists (ICS/LABA), outpatient treatment, treatment of exacerbations and adverse events were also compared. Сost-effectiveness analysis and budget impact analysis were used. Results. According to results of cost-effectiveness analysis, therapy with reslizumab dominated over therapy with omalizumab in patients with severe asthma in term of exacerbation rate requiring treatment with systemic steroids. According to results of budget impact analysis, switching of 100 patients from omalizumab to reslizumab could save RUB 51.99 million per year that corresponds to 36.6% reduction in general direct costs for treatment of severe asthma. Conclusion. The results of this study demonstrated economic advantage of reslizumab over omalizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma.
