Coronary Heart Disease | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) | US | 2020

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is broadly defined here as coronary artery disease (CAD), including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a history of myocardial infarction (MI), and stable or unstable angina; cerebrovascular disease, including stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA); peripheral arterial disease (PAD); and other atherosclerotic diseases. The principal goal of treating ASCVD is to reduce recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events and decrease mortality. Drug treatment is individualized to the diagnosis but generally involves lipid-modifying, neurohormonal blocking, and antithrombotic therapies. Despite the heavy entrenchment of generics, branded options of note include the lipid-modifying agents Repatha, Praluent, and Vascepa and the oral antithrombotics Brilinta and Xarelto. Using a longitudinal claims data analysis, we demonstrate how ASCVD is being pharmacologically managed for newly diagnosed and recently treated patients in the United States.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed ASCVD patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed ASCVD patients?
• How have Praluent and Repatha been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what is their source of business?
• What percentage of ASCVD patients receive drug therapy within 365 days of diagnosis, and how quickly do they receive it? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within 365 days of diagnosis?
• What percentage of ASCVD 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 patients?
