bythe factor iFPFS. Now, one entity in a pair will have a PFS determined by
SoC, and its duplicate will have the PFS attained with MetaMin.
4.3.4 Accruing Values Until Recurrence
After treatment has been assigned, each entity will live until the cancer recurs.
By denition, no other events happen during this time. The only aspect that
needs to be accounted for is the value of that time itself. In this HTA, the time is
valued in two ways. One is based on the cost of living—here simplied to only
the cost of treatment. The other value is given by the QoL adjustment over that
period. ...
