id="ch3.s1.1"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Spasticity is a specific form of increased muscle tone (hypertonia) associated with a number of neurological disorders. The prevalence of lower limb spasticity reported in a <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905098/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">systematic review</a> was 28&#x02013;37% in people with stroke, 41&#x02013;69% in people with multiple sclerosis, 13% in people with traumatic brain injury and 75% moderate-severe spasticity in people with cerebral palsy. The impact of spasticity and co-existing disorders on the individual varies. Common problems include motor developmental delay (in children), pain from muscle spasms, impaired motor function affecting the person&#x02019;s ability to participate in society, and difficulties with daily care due to the onset of secondary complications of spasticity. Management should be tailored to meet the problems faced by the individual and achieve their goals.</p><p>The NICE guidelines on <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg145" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Spasticity in under 19s</a>, <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg186" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Multiple sclerosis</a>, <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng119" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Cerebral palsy in adults</a>, <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng119" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Cerebral palsy in under 25s</a> and <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng42" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Motor neurone disease</a>, include recommendations on how to manage spasticity in these conditions.</p><p>The aim of this review is to examine the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products (CBMP) for people with spasticity.

<u>(2018)</u>. A review protocol was developed to encompass the 4 review questions around effectiveness, adverse events, contraindications and monitoring requirements. This review protocol can be found in <a href="#ch3.appa">Appendix A</a>. Methods specific to the review questions are described in the review protocol in <a href="#ch3.appb">Appendix B</a>.</p><p>Declarations of interest were recorded according to <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/Media/Default/About/Who-we-are/Policies-and-procedures/declaration-of-interests-policy.pdf" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NICE&#x02019;s 2018 conflicts of interest policy</a>.</p><p>A broad search strategy was used to identify all studies that examined the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products (CBMP) in the treatment of intractable nausea and vomiting, chronic pain, spasticity and severe treatment-resistant epilepsy. Review protocol highlighted in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch3tab1" rid-ob="figobch3tab1">Table 1</a> and <a href="#ch3.appa">Appendix A</a> was used to identify studies associated with spasticity.</p><p>For the adult population, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic review of RCTs were considered. The committee noted that a minimum of 5 RCTs were required to provide adequate evidence. If fewer than 5 RCTs were identified, prospective cohort studies would also be considered for inclusion.</p><p>For children, RCTs and systematic reviews of RCTs were considered. The review protocol also specified that in the event of fewer than 5 RCTs being identified, prospective and retrospective cohort studies would also be considered for inclusion.</p><p>Additional information on safety concerns and contraindications will be obtained from the Summary of Product Characteristics and other relevant sources, such as the U.S Food and Drugs Administration.</p><p>Studies were also excluded if they examined the use of:
<ul id="ch3.l5"><li id="ch3.lt19" class="half_rhythm"><div>Synthetic cannabinoids in schedule 1 of the 2001 regulations,</div></li><li id="ch3.lt20" class="half_rhythm"><div>Smoked cannabis-based products</div></li></ul></p><p>The review protocol also specifies that where possible, subgroup analyses would be conducted to explore the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products in young people, children and babies, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding, people with existing substance abuse and people with hepatic and renal failure.</p><p>For THC:CBD spray (THC:CBD spray), some studies used a dose greater than the maximum 12 sprays per day recommended in the product SPC. As the higher doses could have a different level of effectiveness or number of adverse events, the results for THC:CBD spray were split into subgroups: those within the recommended dose and those above the recommended dose. Two of the studies that used a dose within that recommended by the SPC were enriched enrolment trials. This design split the trials into two phases: Phase A where all participants were given THC: CBD spray and Phase B (RCT phase) where only those participants who responded to the treatment were included. This study design may result in more favourable outcomes for the intervention and fewer cases of adverse events. As a result, the studies that used an enriched enrolment design were highlighted in the forest plots and brought to the attention of the committee while they were discussing the evidence. There was not a large evidence base for any of the CBMP for spasticity and so it was decided not to group the results by length of follow-up period.</p><p>Some results were presented as the least squares mean. These results were included in the meta-analysis and a sensitivity analysis was used to assess their impact on the outcomes. Sensitivity analysis revealed that none of the least squares means changed the outcomes of the meta-analyses and so the results were included. Any results that were presented as least squares means have been identified in the footnotes of relevant forest plots.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.3"><h3>Clinical evidence</h3><p>The overall search for evidence of effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products for spasticity, nausea and vomiting, severe treatment resistant epilepsy and chronic pain returned a total of 19,491 results. After removing duplicates, 9,341 references were screened on their titles and abstracts. 75 studies were obtained for treatment of spasticity and reviewed against the inclusion criteria as described in the review protocol for spasticity (<a href="#ch3.appa">Appendix A</a>). Overall, 15 RCTs (12 parallel and 3 crossover) were included (see <a href="#ch3.appe">Appendix E</a> for evidence tables). The effectiveness and safety of CBMP was investigated for people with spasticity related to multiple sclerosis (13 studies), motor neurone disease (2 studies) and spinal cord injury (1 study). All studies investigated spasticity in adults (see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch3tab2" rid-ob="figobch3tab2">Table 2</a>).

The analysis was a Markov model comparing the standard of care (SoC) plus cannabis to the standard of care alone over the 5-year time horizon. The target population are patients with spasticity who had not responded adequately to any standard spasticity treatment. The standard of care is defined as any interventions that would usually be used in this patient group, including licensed oral anti-spasticity medications if appropriate.</p><p>Cohorts of patients were followed from the initiation of the treatment. In the cannabis strategy, patients who did not achieve a response may discontinue cannabis. Responders remained on treatment but were subject to treatment discontinuation, after which they transitioned to the non-responder state. In the SoC strategy, the model assumed that a proportion of responders would lose the treatment benefit and become non-responders. This was modelled as discontinuation of the treatment benefit. The model assumed that all patients would always receive SoC in the background.</p><p>The treatment effects of THC: CBD spray, derived from the meta-analysis of four relevant RCTs of THC: CBD spray in patients with MS spasticity (see <a href="#ch3.appf">Appendix F</a> for details), were presented as odds ratios (ORs) compared to the placebo from the RCTs (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref9" rid="ch3.appm.ref9">Collin et al., 2007</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref10" rid="ch3.appm.ref10">2010</a>; <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref35" rid="ch3.appm.ref35">Novotna et al., 2011</a>; <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref27" rid="ch3.appm.ref27">Markova et al., 2019</a>).

Treatment response was defined as a reduction of &#x02265;30% on the numerical rating scale (NRS) for spasticity.</p><p>Health state utilities in the model were based on a published utility regression model of EQ-5D, spasticity NRS and EDSS (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref41" rid="ch3.appm.ref41">Svensson, Borg and Nilsson, 2014</a>). The committee agreed that medicinal cannabis was unlikely to have an impact on EDSS scores, but that mean EDSS should be reflected, based on their experience and published evidence. We simulated 10,000 hypothetical patients with NRS and EDSS scores based on the baseline NRS (mean 7.5; SD 1.45) and mean EDSS (mean 6.4; SD 1.2) data from <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref28" rid="ch3.appm.ref28">Messina et al. (2017)</a>. We used data on the patients who had improved by at least 30% from the <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref28" rid="ch3.appm.ref28">Messina et al. (2017)</a> dataset and estimated the proportion of patients achieving greater levels of response (for example, 45&#x02013;49% response). The weighted average utility of response and no response were 0.44 and 0.288, respectively. The utility difference between response and no response was much greater compared with the ones applied in <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref23" rid="ch3.appm.ref23">Lu et al. 2012</a> (response and no response utility were 057 and 0.48, respectively), which were based on data observed in the underpinning trial.</p><p>Drug acquisition costs were estimated using pack/vial costs and the number of doses required per 4-week model cycle. The model applied the Sativex (THC: CBD spray) discount: NHS Pay for Responder scheme that first 3 &#x000d7; 10ml vial (90 doses per vial) for free and pay for responder only. The background management costs associated with spasticity were taken from a published UK study (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref40" rid="ch3.appm.ref40">Stevenson, Gras, Bardos, &#x00026; Broughton, 2015</a>), which reported spasticity management costs by NRS categories. Some of the reported resource use from <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref40" rid="ch3.appm.ref40">Stevenson et al. (2015)</a> might not be spasticity specific, such as wheelchair use. The model assumed that 50% of the resource use costs from <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref40" rid="ch3.appm.ref40">Stevenson et al. (2015)</a> were attributed to spasticity alone and therefore could be influenced by the treatment effect, based on a suggestion from the committee.</p><p>The model incorporated adverse events (AEs), based on the estimated incidence rate of serious and non-serious AEs for cannabinoid and control (placebo) (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref44" rid="ch3.appm.ref44">Wang et al., 2008</a>). Costs and disutility associated with AEs were incorporated into the model.</p><p>Base-case results showed that, compared with standard of care alone, THC: CBD spray plus SoC was &#x000a3;1,580 more expensive and produced 0.081 more QALYs over a 5-year time horizon. The ICER was &#x000a3;19,512 per QALY gained. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed a 47.7% probability that, compared with standard treatment alone, THC: CBD spray plus SoC is associated with an ICER of &#x000a3;20,000/QALY or better and a 66.0% probability of an ICER of &#x000a3;30,000/QALY or better.</p><p>Parameter uncertainty was explored on the baseline characteristics, treatment effects, adverse events, discontinuation, mortality, utilities, THC: CBD average daily sprays, cost of spasticity management. Several scenario analyses, particularly on the assumptions on discontinuation, treatment response and utility estimation, were also conducted. The model was most sensitive to treatment effects. When varied over their plausible ranges, a large number of the examined parameters had the potential to change model outputs to one side or the other of a &#x000a3;20,000 / QALY threshold. However, the model was relatively robust if QALYs are valued at &#x000a3;30,000 each: only the main effectiveness parameter (relative likelihood of response to THC:CBD spray), the probability of adverse events, and the proportion of costs that are attributable to spasticity had sufficient impact that the ICER could exceed &#x000a3;30,000/QALY.</p></div></div><div id="ch3.s1.5"><h3>Summary of evidence</h3><p>The summary of evidence in this section reflects the evidence on effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products.

compared oromucosal THC: CBD spray plus standard of care with standard of care alone for the treatment of spasticity in multiple sclerosis. An independently produced study with potentially serious limitations found that THC: CBD spray is associated with an ICER of &#x000a3;49,300 per QALY, with 10.2% probability that the ICER is &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY or better. The other, a manufacturer-sponsored analysis with very serious limitations, found that THC: CBD spray is associated with an ICER of &#x000a3;11,000 per QALY, with 100% probability that the ICER is &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY or better.</p><p>One directly applicable UK cost&#x02013;utility analysis with minor limitations conducted for this guideline compared THC: CBD spray plus standard treatment with standard treatment alone for the treatment of spasticity. THC: CBD spray plus standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone was &#x000a3;1,580 more expensive and produced 0.081 more QALYs over five years (ICER = &#x000a3;19,512/QALY). Probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed a 47.7% probability that that the ICER is &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY or better.</p></div></div><div id="ch3.s1.6"><h3>The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="ch3.s1.6.1"><h4>Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="ch3.s1.6.1.1"><h5>The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The committee decided that outcomes including reduction in spasticity from baseline and the proportion of patients achieving 30% or greater improvement in spasticity were key outcomes for assessing effectiveness. The number of adverse events was also considered important to evaluate the safety of cannabis-based medicinal products. Other outcomes considered by the committee included the dose, treatment duration, contraindications, monitoring requirements and stopping criteria.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.6.1.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>Most of the evidence examined the use of THC:CBD spray for people with multiple sclerosis. However, the outcomes for these were low quality and had short follow up periods. Only 2 studies examined the use of cannabis-based medicinal products for people with motor neurone disease and 1 evaluated their use for people with spinal cord injury. The committee therefore agreed that they only had sufficient evidence to assess the effectiveness and adverse events for the use of THC:CBD spray for people with spasticity due to multiple sclerosis. Additionally, no paediatric studies were identified. Seven studies examined the use of THC:CBD spray for spasticity in people with multiple sclerosis. All were directly applicable, but some were downgraded for risk of bias, most commonly because of an enriched enrolment design or limited information on randomisation, allocation concealment and blinding. Three of these studies used maximum doses of between 24&#x02013;48 sprays per day, higher than the maximum dose of 12 sprays per day recommended in the SPC, although the mean dose in two of these was similar to that in the dose-capped studies. The effectiveness and adverse events associated with allowing higher doses could differ to those which would be experienced when in the maximum dose is restricted, as in current clinical practice. Consequently, we conducted subgroup analysis on the studies that did and did not have their maximum daily dose restricted to 12 doses per day.</p><p>Two of the studies that used THC:CBD spray within the recommended dose used an enriched-enrolment study design (Markova 2018, <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref35" rid="ch3.appm.ref35">Novotna 2011</a>). This design split the trials into two phases: Phase A where all participants were given THC:CBD spray and Phase B (RCT phase) where only those participants who responded to the treatment were included. Both studies classified responders as people who showed a 20% reduction in spasticity during Phase A. The Markova trial also specified that patients who experienced a 20% improvement had to show an 80% reduction in that improvement during a 4-week washout period before the RCT began. The committee discussed the risk of bias of these studies, with some stating that, in comparison to a standard RCT, this study design is more similar to the process that would be followed in clinical practice. However, others highlighted that this design may favour responders and result in more positive outcomes and fewer adverse events once the RCT phase is reached. Given these potential effects on the outcomes, the studies were downgraded for risk of bias but were evaluated as directly applicable.</p><p>The committee highlighted potential issues with the sensitivity of some of the outcomes used to assess spasticity. Clinician-measured spasticity was assessed using the 5-point Ashworth or 6-point Modified Ashworth scale and although these are commonly used to measure spasticity in research they are not often used in clinical practice and can be insensitive to change that would be considered meaningful to individual patients. As a result, improvements in spasticity may not register on the Ashworth or Modified Ashworth scales but this change may still be considered an improvement by the patient. A bigger treatment effect may therefore be seen in other outcomes, such as patient-reported change in spasticity, which is often scored using a 10-point numerical rating scale or 100-point visual analogue score.</p><p>Although there were limitations to some of the studies, most of the evidence for THC:CBD spray was from recent studies. The committee were therefore satisfied that the treatments used in the trials before the addition of cannabis-based medicinal products reflected current practice.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.6.1.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>The committee agreed that there were benefits for the use of THC:CBD spray for the treatment of spasticity in multiple sclerosis. The clinical evidence showed improvements in patient-reported spasticity and could not differentiate between adverse events for THC:CBD spray and placebo. Also, economic modelling showed that THC:CBD spray would offer sufficient QALY gains if reduction in spasticity led to a halving of management costs and acquisition cost of THC:CBD spray (Sativex) was also reduced (in addition to the existing pay-for-responders scheme). Therefore, the committee agreed that under these conditions Sativex could be recommended to treat moderate to severe spasticity in adults with multiple sclerosis if other pharmacological treatments had not been effective.</p><p>There was limited evidence for the use of other cannabis-based medicinal products for the treatment of spasticity in other conditions. As a result, the committee could not confidently assess either the benefits or harms associated with these treatments and could not recommend them for use. The committee therefore made a research recommendation designed to help improve the understanding of the effects of cannabis-based medicinal products other than Sativex. The committee also highlighted that it is important to understand the effects of these products for people with conditions other than multiple sclerosis. People with cerebral palsy are a group that could particularly benefit from treatments that may help to reduce spasticity and so were included as a consideration for subgroup analysis.</p><p>Although one of the main concerns over the use of cannabis-based medicinal products is the potential for adverse events, the evidence could not differentiate between THC:CBD spray and placebo for the majority of the adverse event-related outcomes. However, it was suggested that the number of adverse events in the meta-analysis may have been reduced due to the studies which used enriched enrolment designs. The committee decided that despite the potential effect of the enriched enrolment studies, adverse events may not be a major concern. This decision was based on reports from some of the studies that many of the adverse events occurred near the beginning of treatment and could often be resolved during the dose titration phase. This was supported by the clinical experience of the committee, suggesting that the longer-term benefits of THC:CBD spray may outweigh the potential harms.</p></div></div><div id="ch3.s1.6.2"><h4>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>The committee considered the evidence from two published economic evaluations that had been included in the clinical review. One manufacturer funded study (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref18" rid="ch3.appm.ref18">Gras 2016</a>) found that THC: CBD spray was associated with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of around &#x000a3;10,000/QALY gained over standard care (SoC) in the MS population. This study found that THC: CBD spray was associated with a QALY gain of 0.35 over 30 years and an incremental cost of &#x000a3;3,836 which was derived from &#x000a3;98,501 costs in the SoC arm and &#x000a3;102,337 in the THC: CBD spray arm. The relatively small incremental (and high absolute) costs arise in this model because it uses estimates of resource use associated with different spasticity NRS scores that reflect the totality of background MS management costs and then makes the assumption that use of these resources is entirely related to NRS. Because of the wide variety of reasons that a patient might receive more or less intense management, the committee found this assumption highly implausible and so considered this study had overestimated the resource savings associated with reducing spasticity and therefore had serious limitations for decision-making. The other study included in the review was <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref23" rid="ch3.appm.ref23">Lu 2012</a>. This study was funded by the National Institute for Health Research and concluded that THC: CBD spray was associated with an additional 0.15 QALYS over 5 years at an additional &#x000a3;7,627, leading to an ICER of &#x000a3;49,257/QALY gained. This was the economic evaluation that underpinned the 2014 MS guideline committee&#x02019;s decision not to recommend THC: CBD spray on the grounds of cost-ineffectiveness. This study&#x02019;s clinical evidence is based solely on the <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref35" rid="ch3.appm.ref35">Novotna 2011</a> RCT and had a number of other potential limitations including the sources of utility and cost data, not considering costs associated with adverse events and a different threshold for treatment response. Overall the committee considered this study relevant but with potentially serious limitations for decision-making.</p><p>A <i>de novo</i> economic model was produced for this review question which aimed to improve upon the published analyses by including evidence from all the relevant RCTs in the area along with recently published longer term patient registry data, adverse event data and the flexibility to conduct sensitivity and scenario analyses.</p><p>The committee noted that despite THC: CBD spray being found to be clinically effective at reducing spasticity, no studies found any significant differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures whether using the EQ-5D, SF-36 or VAS 0&#x02013;100 instruments. Additionally, differences in point estimates between the two arms of all trials collecting HRQoL measures were very small. They considered that this might be because HRQoL measures have some level of insensitivity to changes in spasticity NRS and are therefore not capturing the benefits of the treatment appropriately. Another contributory factor could be condition severity in the population in the trials, as patients with advanced MS typically have many other important symptoms that can influence their HRQoL and reducing spasticity might not change their self-reported scores by much. The economic model estimated a fairly large difference in HRQoL between responders and non-responders of 0.15, which may therefore have been an overestimate. This difference was 0.09 in data that Lu et al report was observed in the Novotna trial, but using a lower response cut-off, which might also explain the discrepancy.</p><p>The economic model was mostly based on short term data from the RCTs and single arm discontinuation data from a registry of advanced MS patients treated with THC: CBD spray. The short-term response data was extrapolated over a 5 year time horizon, making use of the discontinuation data as well as estimated spasticity management costs and adverse event data. The committee discussed these limitations and requested a series of scenario analyses that examined discontinuation from response in both arms of the model over time.</p><p>The model only included data on &#x0003e;30% responders but the committee felt that THC:CBD spray might be prescribed on an ongoing basis for &#x0003e;20% responders in clinical practice, who would receive all of the treatment cost but less of the benefit. It&#x02019;s results may therefore be biased in favour of THC:CBD spray.</p><p>Over 5 years, the model produced costs of &#x000a3;30,630 in the SoC arm and &#x000a3;32,210 in the SoC + cannabis arm with incremental QALYs of 0.081, leading to an ICER of &#x000a3;19,512/QALY gained. A large number of sensitivity and scenario analyses were conducted on the model and, in most of the plausible analyses, the ICER remained in the range normally considered cost-effective by NICE&#x02019;s advisory committees. The committee discussed the use of the SoC + THC: CBD spray and SoC + placebo arms of the RCTs to model the THC: CBD spray and SoC arms of the economic analysis. While this method is standard for Health Technology Assessment, they noted that the response levels were reasonably high in both arms of the RCTs although the economic model, which combined the RCT with patient registry data predicted this value at ~13%. Some element of this response would be attributable to regression to the mean and some to the placebo effect, the latter of which they suspected would wane over time. They noted that without longer term data on differential response rates it was difficult to be confident that the extrapolations used in the model represented clinical reality. Nevertheless, most plausible variations in parameters and assumptions led to ICERs that were within or below the normal range of cost-effectiveness of &#x000a3;20&#x02013;30,000/QALY gained, following a change of the list price of THC: CBD spray from &#x000a3;375 to &#x000a3;300. The model&#x02019;s most important limitations were likely to overestimate the cost-effectiveness rather than underestimate it. A scenario analysis using 20% instead of 30% as the cut-off for treatment response and continuation produced an ICER of &#x000a3;24,992/QALY.</p><p>There was little direct evidence and no cost-effectiveness data on the quality of life improvements and resource savings associated with using other CBMPs in spasticity in general so the committee decided to make a recommendation against using them outside the context of a clinical trial.</p></div><div id="ch3.s1.6.3"><h4>Other factors the committee took into account</h4><p>It was highlighted that one of the difficulties faced when trying to determine the effects of a treatment in multiple sclerosis is that it is a progressive disease. Most studies appeared to control for this by stating that patients must have had stable treatment for a specified period before the beginning of the trial. This may have helped to identify treatment effects rather than changes due to disease progression. However, it was suggested that this criterion may have meant that the people included in these trials had less severe spasticity than some of those who might be prescribed cannabis-based medicinal products. Many studies also specified that people should have an Ashworth or Modified Ashworth score of 2 or above. This suggests that many participants had less severe spasticity than those who may be prescribed cannabis-based medicinal products, who often have more severe spasticity categorised by an Ashworth score or 3 or 4. Taking this limitation into consideration along with the clinical and cost effectiveness evidence, the committee agreed that there was scope for THC: CBD spray to be offered as part of a 4-week trial to treat moderate to severe spasticity in adults with multiple sclerosis if other pharmacological treatments are not effective and the company provides THC:CBD (Sativex) according to its pay-for-responders scheme.</p><p>The committee noted that there was a lack of evidence for the use of cannabis-based medicinal products for children with spasticity. Additionally, THC: CBD spray (Sativex) is not currently licensed in children. Due to this, the committee were unable to make recommendations for the use of THC: CBD spray (Sativex) in children. However, the committee did identify this as an area where further research was needed. Therefore, the committee drafted a research recommendation to explore the clinical and cost effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products other than Sativex for people with spasticity which includes children as a subgroup.</p><p>The committee also discussed the need for improved tools to assess outcomes for people with spasticity. This was particularly important for quality of life, where a reduction in spasticity is not always accompanied by improvements in quality of life scores. Although there are a number of questionnaires available to assess quality of life, such as the EQ-5D, none of these are specifically designed for people with spasticity. The committee thought that this was an important factor to consider when assessing treatment effectiveness and so this was included as part of the research recommendation.</p><div id="ch3.box2" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>This evidence review supports <a href="/books/n/niceng144/?report=reader" class="toc-item">recommendations 1.3.1</a> and <a href="/books/n/niceng144/?report=reader" class="toc-item">1.3.2</a> and the research recommendation on spasticity.</p></div></div></div></div><div id="ch3.s2"><h2 id="_ch3_s2_">Glossary</h2><div id="ch3.s2.1"><h3>Cannabis-based medicinal products</h3><p>In this guideline cannabis-based medicinal products include:

This uses a machine learning algorithm (specifically, an SGD classifier) to take information on features (1, 2 and 3 word blocks) in the titles and abstract of papers marked as being &#x02018;includes&#x02019; or &#x02018;excludes&#x02019; during the title and abstract screening process, and re-orders the remaining records from most likely to least likely to be an include, based on that algorithm.

For continuous outcomes analysed as mean differences, where change from baseline data were reported in the trials and were accompanied by a measure of spread (for example standard deviation), these were extracted and used in the meta-analysis. Where measures of spread for change from baseline values were not reported, the corresponding values at study end were used and were combined with change from baseline values to produce summary estimates of effect. These studies were assessed to ensure that baseline values were balanced across the treatment groups; if there were significant differences at baseline these studies were not included in any meta-analysis and were reported separately. For continuous outcomes analysed as standardised mean differences, where only baseline and final time point values were available, change from baseline standard deviations were estimated, assuming a correlation coefficient of 0.5.</p></div><div id="ch3.appb.s3"><h3>Evidence of effectiveness of interventions</h3><div id="ch3.appb.s3.1"><h4>Quality assessment</h4><p>Parallel RCTs and crossover RCTs were quality assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0.</p><p>Each individual study was classified into one of the following three groups:
<ul id="ch3.l19"><li id="ch3.lt45" class="half_rhythm"><div>Low risk of bias &#x02013; The true effect size for the study is likely to be close to the estimated effect size.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt46" class="half_rhythm"><div>Some concern around risk of bias &#x02013; There is a possibility the true effect size for the study is substantially different to the estimated effect size.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt47" class="half_rhythm"><div>High risk of bias &#x02013; It is likely the true effect size for the study is substantially different to the estimated effect size.</div></li></ul></p><p>Each individual study was also classified into one of three groups for directness, based on if there were concerns about the population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes in the study and how directly these variables could address the specified review question. Studies were rated as follows:
<ul id="ch3.l20"><li id="ch3.lt48" class="half_rhythm"><div>Direct &#x02013; No important deviations from the protocol in population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt49" class="half_rhythm"><div>Partially indirect &#x02013; Important deviations from the protocol in one of the population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt50" class="half_rhythm"><div>Indirect &#x02013; Important deviations from the protocol in at least two of the following areas: population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes.</div></li></ul></p></div><div id="ch3.appb.s3.2"><h4>Methods for combining intervention evidence</h4><p>Meta-analyses of interventional data were conducted with reference to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins et al. 2011).</p><p>A pooled relative risk was calculated for dichotomous outcomes (using the Mantel&#x02013;Haenszel method) reporting numbers of people having an event. Both relative and absolute risks were presented, with absolute risks calculated by applying the relative risk to the pooled risk in the comparator arm of the meta-analysis (all pooled trials).</p><p>Fixed- and random-effects models (der Simonian and Laird) were fitted for all syntheses, with the presented analysis dependent on the degree of heterogeneity in the assembled evidence. Fixed-effects models were the preferred choice to report, but in situations where the assumption of a shared mean for fixed-effects model were clearly not met, even after appropriate pre-specified subgroup analyses were conducted, random-effects results are presented. Fixed-effects models were deemed to be inappropriate if one or both of the following conditions was met:
<ul id="ch3.l21"><li id="ch3.lt51" class="half_rhythm"><div>Significant between study heterogeneity in methodology, population, intervention or comparator was identified by the reviewer in advance of data analysis. This decision was made and recorded before any data analysis was undertaken.</div></li><li id="ch3.lt52" class="half_rhythm"><div>The presence of significant statistical heterogeneity in the meta-analysis, defined as I<sup>2</sup>&#x02265;50%.</div></li></ul></p><p>Meta-analyses were performed in Cochrane Review Manager V5.3</p></div><div id="ch3.appb.s3.3"><h4>Minimal clinically important differences (MIDs)</h4><p>The Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database was searched to identify published minimal clinically important difference thresholds relevant to this guideline. Identified MIDs were assessed to ensure they had been developed and validated in a methodologically rigorous way, and were applicable to the populations, interventions and outcomes specified in this guideline. In addition, the Guideline Committee were asked to prospectively specify any outcomes where they felt a consensus MID could be defined from their experience. In particular, any questions looking to evaluate non-inferiority (that one treatment is not meaningfully worse than another) required an MID to be defined to act as a non-inferiority margin.</p><p>One study [<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appn.ref1" rid="ch3.appn.ref1">Farrar 2008</a>] determined the clinical importance of change on a 0&#x02013;10 numerical rating scale (NRS). The study estimated the level of change from baseline on the 0&#x02013;10 NRS spasticity scale that constituted a minimal clinically important difference as anchored to the patient&#x02019;s global impression of change (PGIC). The findings showed that &#x02018;minimally improved&#x02019; or better on the PGIC produced cut-off point of &#x02212;0.9 for the raw score change. Therefore, &#x02212;0.9 was used as a MID for the NRS scale.</p><p>No MIDs were identified for other outcomes. Therefore, line of no effect was used to assess imprecision.</p><p>When decisions were made in situations where MIDs were not available, the &#x02018;Evidence to Recommendations&#x02019; section of that review should make explicit the committee&#x02019;s view of the expected clinical importance and relevance of the findings. In particular, this includes consideration of whether the whole effect of a treatment (which may be felt across multiple independent outcome domains) would be likely to be clinically meaningful, rather than simply whether each individual sub outcome might be meaningful in isolation.</p></div><div id="ch3.appb.s3.4"><h4>GRADE for pairwise meta-analyses of interventional evidence</h4><p>GRADE was used to assess the quality of evidence for the selected outcomes as specified in &#x02018;Developing NICE guidelines: the manual (2018)&#x02019;. Data from all study designs was initially rated as high quality and the quality of the evidence for each outcome was downgraded or not from this initial point, based on the criteria given in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch3tab1" rid-ob="figobch3tab1">Table 1</a></p><p id="ch3.appb.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appb.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch3appbtab1" class="figpopup">Table 1.

Summary of evidence is stratified by comparison and reflects evidence that was statistically significant.</p><p>Where the data are only consistent, at a 95% confidence level, with an effect in one direction (i.e. one that is &#x02018;statistically significant&#x02019;), and the magnitude of that effect is most likely to meet or exceed the MID (i.e. the point estimate is not in the zone of equivalence). In such cases, we state that the evidence showed that there is an effect. In all other cases, we state that the evidence could not differentiate between the comparators.</p></div><div id="ch3.appb.s3.6"><h4>Quality assessment</h4><p>Single arm studies were also included in this review. These studies were quality assessed using the Institute of Health Economics (IHE) Quality Appraisal Checklist. Studies were assessed on the methods of participant recruitment, retention and outcome measurement (as appropriate), with each individual study classified into one of the following three groups:

<b>What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of cannabis based medicinal products other than Sativex for people with spasticity? In particular, what is the impact of spasticity on improvements in quality of life?</b>
</p></dd></dl></dl><p>Sixteen studies were identified which examined the clinical effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products. These studies identified the effectiveness of interventions such as THC:CBD oromucosal spray for treating spasticity in people with multiple sclerosis. However, there was limited evidence for other cannabis-based medicinal products and for conditions other than multiple sclerosis. In particular, there was limited evidence on the effects of a change in spasticity on quality of life.</p><p>Further research is needed using a robust study design such as a parallel RCT to explore the clinical and cost effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products other than Sativex as an adjunct to optimal therapy in children and adults with spasticity. This should include the development of a quality of life questionnaire validated specifically for people with spasticity. Studies should be UK based. Research in this area is essential to inform future updates of key recommendations in this guidance which in turn can help improve patient outcomes.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figch3appktab1"><a href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appk.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figch3appktab1" rid-ob="figobch3appktab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appk.tab1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appk.tab1/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="ch3.appk.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appk.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch3appktab1">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin"><i>Population:</i> Adults and children with spasticity who haven&#x02019;t fully responded to optimal treatment Specific subgroups:

Economic model</h2><div id="ch3.appm.s1"><h3>Background</h3><p>Following the legislation changes and the Home Office announcement in October 2018, doctors on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council will be able to prescribe cannabis-based medicinal products.</p><p>NICE has never produced an economic analysis to determine the cost-effectiveness of medicinal cannabis in spasticity, albeit THC: CBD spray (Sativex) has been licensed by the MHRA as a treatment for spasticity in multiple sclerosis (MS) under Schedule 4 of the 2001 Regulations.</p><p>NICE has previously considered a published cost-effectiveness analysis of THC: CBD spray in MS spasticity within the guideline of multiple sclerosis in adults (CG186) and the advisory committee did not recommend its use because they concluded it was not a cost-effective treatment.</p><p>Given the recent legislation changes and more recent data became available, the committee was interested in developing a de novo economic model to examine the cost-effectiveness of medicinal cannabis in patients with spasticity who had not responded adequately to any standard oral anti-spasticity medications.</p></div><div id="ch3.appm.s2"><h3>Methods</h3><div id="ch3.appm.s2.1"><h4>Population, interventions/comparators and outcomes</h4><p>The objective of this analysis is to develop a de novo economic model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of the cannabis-derived medicinal products as a treatment option for spasticity. The target population in the model are patients with spasticity who had not responded adequately to any standard spasticity treatment, before undergoing invasive interventions or surgery.</p><p>The model compared the costs and effectiveness of the standard of care (SoC) plus cannabis to the standard of care alone. The standard of care is defined as any interventions that would usually be used in this patient group, including licensed oral anti-spasticity medications if appropriate (although our group are, by definition, non-responders to these). It is assumed that all patients in the cannabis strategy received a cannabis-derived medicinal product as an add-on treatment to the standard of care. The committee agree that this is consistent with the existing clinical practice.</p><p>Outcomes were measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is expressed as a cost per QALY.</p><p>The analysis was conducted from the perspective of NHS and Personal Social Services (PSS) in the UK and considered only the costs and outcomes which were relevant to this guideline. Productivity loss and carer&#x02019;s QALYs were not considered.</p></div><div id="ch3.appm.s2.2"><h4>Model structure</h4><p>This section is intended to give a structural overview of the model and its underpinning assumptions. Derivation of parameters is discussed in the <a href="#ch3.appm.s2.3">Model Parameters</a> section.</p><p>A Markov model was constructed in Excel. The model adopted a 4-week cycle length. All transition probabilities were adjusted accordingly using a standard methodology (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref29" rid="ch3.appm.ref29">Miller and Homan, 1994</a>). The time horizon for the base case analysis was 5 years. The committee agreed that there is no evidence to suggest that medicinal cannabis would impact the mortality of patients with spasticity and that most of the available evidence is short term in nature. A short time horizon is therefore appropriate. A longer time horizons of 10, 20 and 30 years were considered in the sensitivity analysis.</p><p>We considered structuring our model in a similar way to the chronic pain model produced for this guideline, which tied NRS scores to costs and HRQoL but this structure would have required treatment effects to be assigned specific probability distributions. We tested the assumption that spasticity NRS treatment effects were normally distributed in two ways. Firstly we calculated change from baseline in a publicly available dataset that included &#x0003e;1,500 MS patients treated with CBD:THC oromucosal spray (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref28" rid="ch3.appm.ref28">Messina et al. 2017</a>) and examined the histogram on percentage improvement (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK577084/figure/ch3.appm.fig1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch3appmfig1" rid-ob="figobch3appmfig1">Figure 1</a>).</p><p id="ch3.appm.fig1"><a href="/books/NBK577084/figure/ch3.appm.fig1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch3appmfig1" class="figpopup">Figure 1.

This was based on the observational study (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref28" rid="ch3.appm.ref28">Messina et al., 2017</a>), which followed up the patients on THC: CBD spray for 2 years. These patients were treated for a period of 1 month with responders remaining on treatment and non-responders discontinuing. We selected only the responders, subtracted 28 days from the total time on treatment, converted the time on treatment from days to years and performed survival analysis on these patients where discontinuations were classed as events. The model contains multiple options for discontinuation. Option 1 was to fit a parametric curve to the data. Based on AIC/BIC statistics we selected a gompertz parametric curve to use within our economic model (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appm.tab4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch3appmtab4" rid-ob="figobch3appmtab4">Table 5</a>).</p><p id="ch3.appm.tab4"><a href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appm.tab4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch3appmtab4" class="figpopup">Table 5. Model fit statistics for discontinuation survival curve</a></p><p>The committee agreed that patients in the SoC alone strategy would also experience loss of treatment response over time. Option 1 assumed loss of response would be equal in the SoC arm and the CBMP arm. For Option 2 we fitted a competing risks model to the Messina data, coding adverse events alone as a separate, competing risk to other discontinuations. We followed the methodology in section 6.3 of the CRAN-R documentation on the flexsurv package<sup><a href="#ch3.fn1">a</a></sup> but used a gompertz model instead of the Weibull example given (because the original gompertz model provided the best fit to the data [<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK577084/table/ch3.appm.tab4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch3appmtab4" rid-ob="figobch3appmtab4">Table 5</a>]). The survival curve for the CBMP arm took account of both competing risks whereas the survival curve for the SoC arm included only non-adverse event related discontinuations. Option 3 was to fit an exponential curve and assume various levels of arbitrary discontinuation and hazard ratios to see how these might affect the results.</p><p>There were no deaths recorded in the dataset although there were a number of censoring events with no reason recorded and it is possible that some of these were in fact deaths. By handling deaths separately from discontinuation it is possible that there is a small amount of double counting in the economic model. Given the relatively low average age in the dataset and therefore low mortality rate, and the fact that this issue would apply to both model arms, we assessed this limitation as minor.</p><p>Clearly there are limitations with all these approaches but in the absence of long-term data on changes in response in either the active treatment or standard of care arm the committee acknowledged that they were the best available, noted them as limitations and explored them in sensitivity analysis. Overall, Option 2 (the competing risks model with differential discontinuation) was preferred in the base case.</p><p id="ch3.appm.fig3"><a href="/books/NBK577084/figure/ch3.appm.fig3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch3appmfig3" class="figpopup">Figure 3.

The ICER results were lower than another UK cost-effectiveness model by <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref23" rid="ch3.appm.ref23">Lu et al., 2012</a>, which reported an ICER of &#x000a3;49,257, which is probably due to the more favourable utility estimates we used in our model. Using the Lu et al utility estimates, the model produces an ICER of &#x000a3;42,344/QALY. This difference may be due to a number of input parameters, particularly the use of all 4 RCTs and a patient registry within our model rather than the results of a single RCT.</p><p>The clinical evidence showed THC: CBD spray + SoC improved the spasticity NRS compared to SoC alone and accrued cost saving in the resource use related to spasticity management. The clinical evidence also showed that THC: CBD spray had little impact on the disability scale (EDSS) (Ball et al. 2015, Kilestein et al. 2012, <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref27" rid="ch3.appm.ref27">Markova et al. 2019</a>, van Amerongen et al. 2018, Zajicek et al. 2012) which importantly influences patients&#x02019; quality of life. This was reflected in the minimal EQ-5D difference observed in the THC: CBD spray trials (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref35" rid="ch3.appm.ref35">Novotna et al., 2011</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref10" rid="ch3.appm.ref10">Collin et al., 2010</a>). Nevertheless, using a published regression analysis, our model estimated utility values of 0.29 and 0.44 for responders and non-responders. This 50% gain in HRQoL for treatment response may be an overestimate, given the lack of empirical data in support of this finding. In the committee&#x02019;s experience, observable differences in quality of life are common in patients who achieve a spasticity response following treatment with THC: CBD spray, however.</p><p>The model was most sensitive to the cost of treatment, number of sprays per day, the treatment effects and treatment response parameters, which was expected. However, the THC: CBD spray strategy had much lower ICERs in the scenarios where we assumed medicinal cannabis had a strong impact on patients&#x02019; disability scale (EDSS), which the committee decided were not credible.</p><p>It is worth noting that the model was highly sensitive to the assumptions related to resource use. Doubling background management cost, effectively assuming that 100% of MS management was related specifically to spasticity, the cannabis strategy became dominant. A published study estimated that worse spasticity NRS was associated with higher resource use for spasticity management in MS (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref40" rid="ch3.appm.ref40">Stevenson et al. 2015</a>). It was unclear how much of the reported resource use from <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref40" rid="ch3.appm.ref40">Stevenson et al. (2015)</a> attributed to spasticity only as there appeared to be large overlaps between the resource used managing spasticity and that used managing patients&#x02019; underlying disease. The manufacturer&#x02019;s published model assumed that all reported resource use from <a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref40" rid="ch3.appm.ref40">Stevenson et al. (2015)</a> were attributed to spasticity (<a class="bibr" href="#ch3.appm.ref18" rid="ch3.appm.ref18">Gras et al. 2016</a>), which may have led to an overestimate of cost-saving from THC: CBD spray and therefore a very low ICER of &#x000a3;10,891 per QALY.</p><p>The model produces somewhat different total costs and QALYs to the published cost-effectiveness analyses. On the cost side, this is principally due to the omission of social care costs in Lu and the inclusion of probable non-spasticity social care costs in Gras as well as the much longer time horizon in the case of the latter. Our model produced the lowest overall QALYs because its baseline utility values were the lowest but it also included the most optimistic QoL differential for treatment effect. The manufacturer funded Gras study only produced 0.35 incremental QALYs over a 30 year time horizon.</p><p>In the base case, the model assumed patients in the SoC alone strategy would have a response similar to the placebo response observed in the RCTs. Due to lack of long-term data, the model assumed that the treatment effect (the relative difference between THC: CBD spray + SOC and SoC alone) remain constant throughout the 5-year time horizon. As the long-term observational study of THC: CBD spray indicated that the treatment response was sustained over at least 2 years, the model assumed the response in the SoC alone strategy sustained as well. This preserved the regression to the mean and placebo effect components of the changes from baseline observed in the trials, which should be the same in both arms. To discontinue more patients from response in the SoC arm than in the cannabis arm would either imply a differential placebo effect or a strengthening treatment effect and we did not have any evidence of either. This might be a limitation as the committee thought that the placebo response from the RCTs would diminish after 6 months or so, however. We experimented with different shaped discontinuation curves: assuming that there is a 10% year-on-year discontinuation in both arms, for example, resulted in a lower ICER of &#x000a3;14,958/QALY.</p><p>The model included the current publicly available discount scheme offered by the only manufacturer of THC: CBD to the NHS, in which that treatment is provided for free during the first cycle but that the NHS pays for responders thereafter. Because the indication for responders is 20% improvement rather than the 30% cutoff used in the clinical trials it is likely that THC: CBD, as it is used in practice, will be offered to patients who have seen between a 20% and 30% improvement. The primary analysis attempts to adjust for this by assuming that 10% of people in the treatment arm would continue treatment even if they didn&#x02019;t achieve a 30% response. Without this adjustment, the model produces an ICER of &#x000a3;8,759/QALY, which would be an overestimate of the cost-effectiveness of THC:CBD spray as if people with less than a 30% response would continue treatment as they would gain fewer QALYs and management savings and incur the same treatment costs as their full-responder counterparts. It is unclear whether the 10% adjustment produces an under or over-estimate of the true cost-effectiveness of this intervention. We then conducted a specific scenario analysis adjusting multiple parameters to model 20% responders receiving ongoing treatment and the model produced an ICER of &#x000a3;24,992/QALY. This was principally because there was an expected lower utility differential between responders and non-responders, fewer resource savings between the two groups and greater response in the SoC arm. Overall, this is an important limitation of the analysis but the explorations we have conducted on the model do not indicate that plausible adjustments lead to ICERs that are qualitatively different from those produced by the primary analysis.</p><p>When varied over their plausible ranges, a large number of the examined parameters had the potential to change model outputs to one side or the other of a &#x000a3;20,000 / QALY threshold. However, the model was relatively robust if QALYs are valued at &#x000a3;30,000 each: only the main effectiveness parameter (relative likelihood of response to THC:CBD spray), the probability of adverse events, and the proportion of costs that are attributable to spasticity had sufficient impact that the ICER could exceed &#x000a3;30,000/QALY.</p><p>The model did not compare different medicinal cannabis products against each other. Due to a lack of clinical evidence, the model could not accurately determine the cost-effectiveness of any other medicinal cannabis except THC: CBD spray. It is worth noting that THC: CBD spray had one of the lowest daily costs compared to most of the other medicinal cannabis products. Hence, if assuming all medicinal cannabis had the same treatment effects, THC: CBD spray would potentially dominate all the other cannabis products for treating patients with spasticity.</p></div><div id="ch3.appm.rl.r1"><h3>References</h3><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="ch3.appm.ref1">Ara, R. &#x00026; Brazier, J.
