Market Outlook

Osteoarthritis (OA) pain is an extremely prevalent type of chronic pain, affecting more than 30 million individuals in the United States, and is the second-largest segment of the overall chronic pain market. Treatment of OA pain is dominated by cost-effective generic treatments, in addition to costly abuse-deterrent reformulations of opioid analgesics and new combinations of existing analgesics that attempt to mitigate side effects; no truly novel or mechanism-based therapies are currently available. The key drug classes prescribed to treat OA pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics, are associated with a host of side effects including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and/or abuse risks. As such, treatment of this indication can be challenging for physicians because existing therapies are frequently inadequate in achieving long-term analgesia in many patients.

Questions Answered

  • How is OA pain being treated in the United States today, and what are the drivers and constraints influencing physicians’ treatment decisions?
  • What impact have the recent launches of new analgesics such as Iroko’s Vivlodex and Purdue’s Hysingla ER had on physician prescribing behavior for OA pain?
  • What factors drive switching between or discontinuation of select analgesics (e.g., Depomed’s Nucynta ER, Horizon’s Vimovo, Pfizer’s Embeda)?
  • How does patient risk for abuse/history of abuse influence physicians’ prescribing of opioid analgesics for OA pain?
