Obesity/Overweight | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018

MARKET OUTLOOK

Obesity is arguably the most pressing public health issue in the United States. The prevalence of obesity is extremely high, and its chronic progression is associated with type 2 diabetes and adverse cardiovascular health. Because lifestyle modifications are hard to maintain and metabolic surgery is inaccessible for many obese patients, there is considerable market opportunity for prescription weight-loss agents. Following a long period with a desperate lack of treatment options, a comparative rush of new treatment options has emerged since 2012. As drug therapies struggle to achieve the optimal balance between efficacy, safety, and affordability, gaining traction in the market and the confidence of physicians has been challenging.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What patient share do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed obese patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed obese patients?
  • How has Saxenda been integrated into the treatment algorithm?
  • What proportion of obese 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 obese patients are treated with monotherapy versus combination therapy? What are the most widely used combination therapies?
  • What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among drug-treated patients with obesity?
