Urticaria | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Chronic Inducible Urticaria | US | 2024
Chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) encompasses various chronic urticaria subtypes caused by specific triggers. CIndU seems to be more resistant than chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) to standard doses of antihistamines, although claims data analysis reveals positive uptake trends among some first- and second-generation antihistamines. Vistaril (hydroxyzine) and montelukast are also key drugs in the CIndU therapy market and are often used in combination therapy, despite the removal of leukotriene receptor antagonists (i.e., montelukast) from current treatment guidelines. Although no biologics have been approved for CIndU, certain biologics (e.g., TNF inhibitors, Roche / Novartis’s Xolair, Sanofi / Regeneron’s Dupixent) are used off-label for this indication, mainly as later-line therapy. Thus, more-effective drugs targeting CIndU have good potential for uptake.
Questions answered
- What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed CIndU patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed CIndU patients?
