Retinal Vein Occlusion | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | RVO with Macular Edema | US | 2020

Like other retinal disease therapy markets, the retinal vein occlusion (RVO) with macular edema (ME) market in the United States is unique in that it is dominated by Genentech’s Avastin, an oncology drug used off-label for RVO with ME, despite the availability of two effective approved therapies—Genentech’s Lucentis and Regeneron’s Eylea. These therapies, all of which target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and have been shown to improve visual acuity in RVO with ME patients, compete directly for patient share. The intravitreal corticosteroid implant Ozurdex, also approved for RVO with ME, is an alternative option. As the RVO with ME pipeline becomes more active, it is essential to understand where the current players fit in the RVO with ME treatment algorithm.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed RVO with ME patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed RVO with ME patients?
• How have each of the VEGF inhibitors (Avastin, Eylea, and Lucentis) been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what are their sources of business?
• What percentage of RVO with ME 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 RVO with ME 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?
