Direct dispensing enables physicians to more comprehensively manage their patients\u2019 medical and therapeutic needs and provides an extra revenue stream. However, some managed care organizations (MCOs) are concerned that physician dispensing diverts prescriptions from their specialty pharmacy or from their pharmacy benefit manager\u2019s contracted specialty pharmacy. Understanding physician dispensing and its effect on payer reimbursement and on oncologists\u2019 and urologists\u2019 prescribing habits is essential to creating a sound market-access strategy for drugs to treat prostate cancer and other cancers with oral options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTIONS ANSWERED<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How common is it for oncologists and urologists to dispense oral prostate cancer drugs\u2500 such as Janssen\u2019s Erleada and Zytiga and Pfizer\u2019s Xtandi\u2500from within their practices or in-house dispensing pharmacies?<\/li>\n<li>What advantages do physicians report from in-office dispensing?<\/li>\n<li>How do MCOs view and react to in-office dispensing, and how does its affect physician reimbursement?<\/li>\n<li>What is the coverage and prescribing environment for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) therapies in general, including the IV agents Provenge, Xofigo, and Jevtana?<\/li>\n<li>What is the market access outlook for emerging therapies for nonmetastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), including Erleada and Xtandi, as well as Bayer HealthCare\/Orion\u2019s darolutamide?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>PRODUCT DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Access &#038; Reimbursement<\/em> provides in-depth insight regarding the impact of payer policy on physician prescribing behavior so that clients can build their market access strategy and optimize their brand positioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GEOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>United States<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRIMARY RESEARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Survey of 50 medical oncologists and 51 urologists in the United States.<\/li>\n<li>Survey of 40 U.S. MCO pharmacy and medical directors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>KEY DRUGS COVERED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Erleada, Jevtana, Provenge, Xofigo, Xtandi, Zytiga, darolutamide<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reimbursement and contracting.<\/li>\n<li>Access and prescribing.<\/li>\n<li>Special topic: in-office dispensing of oral therapies.<\/li>\n<li>Opportunities and challenges for emerging therapies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-390587","report","type-report","status-publish","hentry","report-gateway-biopharma","biopharma-therapy-areas-diabetic-neuropathy","biopharma-therapy-areas-painful-diabetic-neuropathy","biopharma-therapy-areas-prostate-cancer","biopharma-geography-us","biopharma-date-920"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/390587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/report"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/390587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":576708,"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report\/390587\/revisions\/576708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/life-sciences-healthcare\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
