Type 2 Diabetes | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2017
Historically, biguanides and sulfonylureas were the most heavily prescribed T2D drug classes. However, the DPP-IV inhibitors have recently overtaken sulfonylureas to become the second-most heavily prescribed drug class. Numerous branded agents jostle for position as second-line treatment options, including the DPP-IV inhibitors, the SGLT2inhibitors Jardiance, Invokana and Farxiga, the GLP-1 receptor agonists Victoza and Trulicity, and the insulins. Adding to the complexity of the market dynamics, the biosimilar insulin Basaglar is also picking up significant patient share.
