In the United States a plethora of pharmacological treatments from an array of drug classes are available to patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), a highly drug-treated condition. Though the MDD drug market is highly entrenched with generic therapies, MDD patients’ heterogeneous responses to antidepressants and/or atypical antipsychotics afford branded drugs (e.g., Trintellix [Lundbeck / Takeda], Rexulti [Otsuka / Lundbeck]) the opportunity to be introduced into the treatment paradigm, often as later-line therapies. Given MDD’s highly crowded and competitive landscape, it is valuable for drug marketers and developers to understand how MDD patients are being treated using real-world data.
