Ulcerative Colitis | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult | US | 2021

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intermittent relapsing disorder of the large intestine and rectum. Treatment typically begins with conventional agents (e.g., 5-ASAs), which are often effective for those patients with mild to moderate disease, but then progresses to more-potent drugs, such as immunosuppressants and/or biologics, as needed. Among the biologics, TNF-alpha inhibitors (Janssen’s Remicade and AbbVie’s Humira) and the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) inhibitor (Takeda’s Entyvio) are the mainstays of treatment. However, therapies such as Pfizer’s Xeljanz / Xeljanz XR, the first approved oral Jak inhibitor, and Janssen’s Stelara are increasing the competition in the later-line settings.

• How have Stelara, Entyvio, and Xeljanz / Xeljanz XR been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what is their source of business?
• What percentage of adult UC 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 UC 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?
