Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease | Access and Reimbursement | US | 2018
The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) market is experiencing increased competition as newer combination therapies vie with long-marketed stalwarts Spiriva, Advair, and Symbicort. Current treatment includes several distinct drug classes with emerging therapies in the pipeline. Because of the age of patients with COPD, market access is driven by Medicare-related payers such as Medicare Advantage and Part D plans that leverage competition to extract rebates from industry in exchange for preferred coverage. By 2021, additional therapies for COPD will increase options and competition, but generic erosion of blockbuster agents will influence reimbursement decisions.
