Peripheral Arterial Disease | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018
Treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has not changed significantly in recent years, and the typically prescribed drug classes for the prevention of atherothrombotic events are awash with generic options. Merck & Co. launched Zontivity for PAD in 2014, but performance has been much lower than initially expected; Aralez Pharmaceuticals now has US rights to this product. PAD Treatment Algorithms presents insights into the treatment practices of a disease that holds huge market opportunity for an agent that significantly outperforms current treatment approaches.
