Parkinson’s Disease | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018

Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment is complex. The disease is heterogeneous, requiring individualized treatment and frequent adjustments to achieve symptom control. New therapies that address PD motor and nonmotor symptoms have reached the U.S. market, and more are set to emerge from a dynamic pipeline. Understanding treatment pathways in PD today will be crucial for developers of new therapies facing a complicated, increasingly generic market. Our Treatment Algorithms offering provides national patient-level claims data to explore the use of key therapies in both newly diagnosed and recently treated patients.
