Authors' recommendations: We assessed the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of seven new drugs used for inoperable or metastatic malignant melanoma patients relative to each other in the Norwegian setting. None of the interventions are cost-effective at the maximum pharmacy retail prices, and the budget impact if the interventions are accepted in clinical practice are substantial. Drug price reductions in the region of 63 to 84 percent would be necessary to improve the cost-effectiveness and reduce the budget impact.
