Osteoarthritic Pain | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2019

Osteoarthritic (OA) pain is the second-largest segment of the chronic pain therapy market and is expected to grow, driven by an aging population and the increasing prevalence of obesity. Yet a comprehensively effective and tolerable analgesic class alternative has not become available for this indication in nearly two decades. A successful launch of a new analgesic requires a deep understanding of current treatment patterns in this highly generic market. Over the past few years, several new therapies have launched for OA pain, providing incremental safety, tolerability, and/or dosing benefits to overcome drawbacks of the current standards of care─nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics─but how have agents in these drug classes, particularly brand-only products, fared in this highly generic market in which cost-effectiveness is a primary driver of coverage?

Questions answered:

  • What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed OA pain patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed OA pain patients?
  • How have branded agents such as abuse-deterrent opioid analgesics been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what is their source of business?
  • What percentage of OA pain 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?
  • What percentage of OA pain 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?
