Patients receiving galcanezumab had lower all-cause and migraine-related office visits over a 24-month follow-up period when compared with patients receiving standard-of-care preventive migraine treatments. Total all-cause and migraine-related costs were higher for patients receiving galcanezumab; however, patients receiving galcanezumab had lower all-cause and migraine-related costs for office visits compared with patients receiving standard-of-care treatment.

A recent study set out to determine whether a pharmacy service affects total health care costs, amounts paid by individuals plus insurance. The pharmacy service is called the appointment-based model (ABM), in which pharmacists work with their patients to allow them to pick up their medications on the same day and address other medication-related issues. Total costs for patients who participated in the ABM were lower than for those matched controls who did not participate.

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in men, affecting 3.3 million individuals in the United States in 2020. Although most patients present with localized disease at diagnosis, 1 in 9 have PC that will eventually progress to metastasis, with a 5-year survival rate of 34.1%. Visit JMCP to review a study in which it was determined that nearly two-thirds of men who advanced from stage IV prostate cancer to stage IV castration-resistant prostate cancer received substandard treatment before progression. Following disease progression, total health care costs were 1.5 to 2 times higher, and these men used more medical services, including hospital and outpatient visits.
