Reported list price of tavapadon, attributed to a William Blair analyst and to ICER public meeting slides; no AbbVie price statement published Launch pricing not disclosed at approval Placeholder annual price and comparator annual drug costs used in the ICER evidence report “Because tavapadon had not yet received regulatory approval, a placeholder price of $15,000 per year (as reported by IPD Analytics) was used as the intervention acquisition cost in both models. In Model 1, levodopa was costed at the median generic wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) from RED BOOK ($289 per year), consistent with ICER Reference Case guidance for generic agents. In Model 2, the dopamine agonist comparator used a market-basket approach: market-share weights were derived from a 2024 Merative MarketScan Medicare Supplemental analysis restricted to the three most-dispensed agents and normalized to 100% (ropinirole 51.9%, pramipexole 41.6%, rotigotine 6.4%), and annual WAC for each agent was sourced from RED BOOK (with the SSR Health net price applied for rotigotine), yielding a weighted-average annual dopamine agonist cost of $3,588.” (opens the source at this quote in a new tab) Copy Flag
