Alopecia | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2019

Alopecia areata (AA) is an inflammatory autoimmune skin disease characterized by targeting of anagen hair follicles by the host immune system resulting in varying degrees of hair loss. Topical corticosteroids and topical contact allergens are commonly prescribed to treat AA; however, AA treatment guidelines are sparse, as is clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of current therapeutic options. As the AA pipeline fills in (e.g., Pfizer’s PF-6700841, Incyte’s Jakafi), this content will offer insights from real-world claims data into prescribing trends in AA to help new players seeking to better understand current treatment practices in AA and define the market niche for their emerging product.

• What percentage of AA patients receive drug therapy within one year of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within one year of diagnosis?
