Crohn’s Disease | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Pediatric | US | 2020

Children with Crohn’s disease (CD) have a more-complicated disease course compared with adult patients. However, similar to adult CD, the primary goal of the treatment of pediatric CD is to induce and maintain remission as quickly as possible. Historically, treatment of pediatric CD would begin with safe, albeit often less-efficacious, conventional agents (e.g., 5-ASAs) and then progress to more-potent drugs, such as biologics and/or immunosuppressants. However, the pediatric CD treatment algorithm continues to evolve, and physicians increasingly initiate treatment with TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g., Janssen/Merck’s Remicade, AbbVie/Eisai’s Humira), especially in patients with more-severe disease symptoms. The non-TNF biologics, including Takeda’s Entyvio and Janssen’s Stelara, may also be prescribed, particularly after anti-TNF failure.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed pediatric CD patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed pediatric CD patients?
• How have Stelara and Entyvio been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what are their sources of business?
• What percentage of pediatric 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 pediatric CD 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?
