Dyslipidemia – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis (US) – Treatment Algorithms – Claims Data Analysis: Hypertriglyceridemia
Hypertriglyceridemia is characterized by elevated triglyceride (TG) levels. In addition to lifestyle changes, current treatment focuses on improving patients’ TG levels with the aim to reduce the associated CV risk. Fibrates, statins, and omega-3 fatty acids are predominantly prescribed to manage hypertriglyceridemia patients. Using a longitudinal claims data analysis, we demonstrate how hypertriglyceridemia is being treated in the United States and provide insight into what is driving current prescribing practices for newly diagnosed and recently treated patients.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed hypertriglyceridemia patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed hypertriglyceridemia patients?
- How has Vascepa been integrated into the hypertriglyceridemia treatment algorithm compared with the available generic omega-3 fatty acids?
- What percentage of hypertriglyceridemia patients receive drug therapy within six months of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within one year of diagnosis?
- What percentage of hypertriglyceridemia patients are treated with monotherapy vs. combination therapy? What are the most commonly used combinations?
- What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among drug-treated hypertriglyceridemia patients?
