Psoriatic Arthritis | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018
MARKET OUTLOOK
Treatment for PsA typically begins with a cDMARD, but often progresses to a tsDMARD or bDMARD within two years. TNFi are the mainstay of treatment for recently treated patients, but newer therapies including two IL-17 inhibitors have a growing market share. Persistency and compliance are highest for Remicade, but Enbrel and Humira continue to capture the largest portion of the bDMARD market.
