Chronic Heart Failure | Reduced Ejection Fraction | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020

Drug treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is well established with a wealth of supporting evidence from clinical trials. ACE inhibitors or ARBs, beta blockers, and loop diuretics are typically used in first-line treatment of HFrEF patients. Given the heavily genericized nature of the market, branded agents, such as Novartis’s Entresto and Amgen’s Corlanor, have had difficulty establishing a foothold; nevertheless, use of Entresto has been steadily growing since its launch in 2015. This HFrEF treatment algorithm offers insight into the U.S. prescribing patterns in this CHF subpopulation.

• What percentage of HFrEF patients receive drug therapy within one year of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within one year of diagnosis?
• What percentage of HFrEF patients are treated with monotherapy versus combination therapy? What are the most commonly used combinations?
• What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among drug-treated HFrEF patients?
