Crohn’s Disease | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult | US | 2019

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. The primary goal of CD treatment is to induce and maintain remission. Treatment of CD typically begins with safe, albeit often less-efficacious, conventional agents (e.g., 5-ASAs) but often progresses to more-potent drugs, such as immunosuppressants and/or biologics. However, this scenario is changing, and more physicians are prescribing biologics for recently diagnosed CD. Among the biologics, TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g., Janssen/Merck’s Remicade, AbbVie/Eisai’s Humira) are the mainstays of treatment, but newer therapies, including Takeda’s Entyvio and Janssen’s Stelara, have a growing market share.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What patient share do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in adult patients with newly diagnosed CD? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among adult patients with recently treated and newly diagnosed CD?
• How have Entyvio and Stelara been integrated into the treatment algorithm?
• What proportion of adult CD patients receive drug therapy within 365 days of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within 365 days of diagnosis?
• What percentage of adult CD 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 adult patients with CD?
