Borderline Personality Disorder | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018

Treatment of borderline personality disorder is multimodal, involving psychotherapy and prescription pharmacotherapy. Prescription drug treatment involves an array of drug classes, including, but not limited to, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), anxiolytics/benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers, and atypical antipsychotics. Although the borderline personality disorder drug market is extensively genericized, the range of symptoms experienced by patients with borderline personality disorder, together with patients’ heterogeneous responses to treatment, has yielded a complex treatment algorithm in which even brand-only therapies may be used, albeit often as later-line therapies. In this report, we use national patient-level claims data to explore the use of key therapies for borderline personality disorder in both newly diagnosed and recently treated patients.

Questions answered

• What patient share do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed borderline personality disorder patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed borderline personality disorder patients?
• How have antidepressants, anxiolytics/benzodiazepines, and atypical antipsychotics been integrated into the treatment algorithm?
• What proportion of borderline personality disorder patients receive drug therapy within two years of diagnosis and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within two years of diagnosis?
• What percentage of borderline personality disorder patients are treated with monotherapy versus combination therapy? What are the most widely used combination therapies?
• What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among drug-treated patients with borderline personality disorder?
