Dry and Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Wet Age-Related Macular Edema | US | 2021

MARKET OUTLOOK

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of visual impairment in the United States, and more than half of advanced AMD patients have the wet (exudative, neovascular) form of the disease. Currently available therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been shown to maintain and even improve visual acuity in wet AMD patients, including Roche / Genentech’s Avastin (bevacizumab), Roche / Genentech’s Lucentis (ranibizumab), Regeneron’s Eylea (aflibercept), and Novartis’s Beovu. Using national, longitudinal, patient-level U.S. claims data, this report examines recent trends in the management of wet AMD both for newly diagnosed patients and patients filling a prescription for a key therapy in the first six months of 2020.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed wet AMD patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed wet AMD patients, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic?
• How has Novartis’s Beovu been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what is its source of business? How are concerns about safety impacting its uptake?
• What percentage of wet AMD patients receive drug therapy within 365 days of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within 365 days of diagnosis?
• What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among drug-treated patients?
