With over a dozen immunomodulatory disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) available to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) and many more in the pipeline, the treatment journey for U.S. MS patients continues to evolve. To date, the MS market has accommodated a role for all current therapies due to disease heterogeneity, individualized treatment decisions, and the unique clinical profile that defines each DMT. That said, with each new launch, players in the MS space—new and seasoned alike—must assess where their products fit into an increasingly crowded market. Meanwhile, competing paradigms of escalation versus early intervention with high-efficacy drugs remain a source of debate, further stoked by the launch of Roche / Genentech’s Ocrevus. This national patient-level claims data analysis explores the current DMTs’ positioning, examines line of therapy progression, and assesses persistence and compliance by brand.
