  1. aHighly favourable scenarios to assess the lower limit of ICER
  2. bThe average cost of subsequent-lines treatments was calculated based on the cost of drugs commonly used in local practice (capecitabine, eribulin and doxorubicin), weighted according to the proportion of use
  3. cCost of drugs and the associated administration and monitoring fees were calculated assuming nab-paclitaxel was given for a maximum of 6 months (in line with potential clinical practice)
