Alzheimer’s Disease | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2017

For the estimated 3 million people in the United States who have Alzheimer’s disease (AD), approved treatment is limited to five procognitive symptomatic therapies (e.g., donepezil, memantine) that deliver modest efficacy of limited duration. All other treatment, including those for disruptive behavioral symptoms, is off- label and no drugs impact the underlying course of the disease. Understanding the current treatment landscape is crucial context for emerging players as the market braces for the entry of a variety of novel therapies including potentially landmark disease-modifying therapies, new procognitive symptomatic adjuncts, and targeted behavioral treatments. Our Treatment Algorithms offering provides national patient-level claims data to explore the use of key therapies in both newly diagnosed and recently-treated patients.
