Rheumatoid Arthritis | Unmet Need | TNF-Alpha Refractory | US/EU | 2023

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who are refractory to one or more tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors are generally prescribed a non-TNF-targeted therapy (e.g., Bristol Myers Squibb’s Orencia, Roche’s Actemra / RoActemra, Roche’s Rituxan / MabThera, AbbVie’s Rinvoq, Pfizer’s Xeljanz, Eli Lilly / Incyte’s Olumiant). The launch of noninvasive targeted therapies like JAK inhibitors offers more treatment options, but recent safety data are raising new concerns about JAK inhibitors, highlighting an unmet need for less risk of serious infections, cardiovascular events, and/or malignancy and restricting the use of JAK inhibitors in older patients with comorbidities. Although the RA therapy market offers multiple efficacious and relatively safe agents, patients refractory to TNF-α inhibitors have limited options; therefore, substantial unmet need remains in the treatment of TNFi-refractory RA.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What are the treatment drivers and goals for TNFi-refractory RA?
  • Which drug attributes are key influencers, which have limited impact, and which are hidden opportunities?
  • How do current therapies perform on key clinical and nonclinical attributes for TNFi-refractory RA?
  • What are the prevailing areas of unmet need and opportunity in TNFi-refractory RA?
  • What trade-offs across different clinical attributes and price are acceptable to U.S. and European rheumatologists for a hypothetical new TNFi-refractory RA drug?
