Rheumatoid Arthritis – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Rheumatoid Arthritis (US)

The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) typically begins with cost-effective conventional DMARDs (cDMARDs) such as methotrexate or hydroxychloroquine. For patients who fail cDMARD treatment or have an inadequate response, the U.S. market is crowded with efficacious biologics and targeted oral therapies, including blockbuster TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g., AbbVie’s Humira, Amgen’s Enbrel) and non-TNF-alpha inhibitors, such as Bristol Myers Squibb’s Orencia and Roche’s Actemra and the oral JAK inhibitors Xeljanz (Pfizer), Olumiant (Eli Lilly), and Rinvoq (AbbVie). Indeed, the FDA’s approval of Rinvoq has increased the competition in the JAK inhibitor class and among the non-TNF biologics. However, the FDA’s safety warnings regarding the JAK inhibitor class may impact overall use of these drugs, leading to greater uptake of other targeted agents.
