Multiple Sclerosis | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020
With more than a dozen immunomodulatory disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) available to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) and more in the pipeline, the treatment journey for U.S. MS patients continues to evolve. To date, the MS market has accommodated a role for all current therapies due to disease heterogeneity, individualized treatment decisions, and the unique clinical profile that defines each DMT. That said, with each new launch, players in the MS space—both new and established—must assess where their products fit in an increasingly crowded market, especially next-in-class alternatives offering incremental benefits. Meanwhile, competing paradigms of escalation versus early intervention with high-efficacy drugs remain, stoked by the clean clinical profile of Roche/Genentech’s Ocrevus. This national patient-level claims data analysis explores the current DMTs’ positioning, examines line of therapy progression, and assesses persistence and compliance by brand.
