Alopecia | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2021

Alopecia areata (AA) is an inflammatory autoimmune skin disease characterized by the targeting of anagen hair follicles by the host immune system, resulting in varying degrees of hair loss. While no therapies are approved for AA, topical corticosteroids and topical contact allergens are commonly prescribed; JAK inhibitors (Pfizer’s Xeljanz, Eli Lilly’s Olumiant, Incyte’s Jakafi) may also be prescribed, albeit infrequently. This claims data analysis offers insight into the current treatment landscape and physicians’ prescribing practices in AA.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed AA patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed AA patients?
  • How have finasteride and corticosteroids been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what is their source of business? To what extent are JAK inhibitors (e.g., Pfizer’s Xeljanz) used off-label for AA?
  • What percentage of AA patients receive drug therapy within one year of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within one year of diagnosis?
  • What percentage of AA patients are treated with monotherapy versus combination therapy? What are the most commonly used combinations?
  • What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among drug-treated patients?
