Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has the potential to be a large and lucrative therapy market owing to the prevalence of the disease and the lack of approved agents. Patients with NASH are at risk of liver fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Currently, physicians are limited to off-label therapies that have limited evidence to support prescribing. Consequently, there is a pressing need for new, effective drug treatments. With the launch of the first labeled / branded therapy on the horizon, we use claims data to examine how NASH is currently treated in the United States in both newly diagnosed and recently treated patients.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What patient shares do key off-label therapies garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed NASH patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed NASH patients?
  • How have off-label therapies, including Intercept Pharmaceuticals’ Ocaliva, been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what is their source of business?
  • What percentage of NASH patients receive off-label drug therapy within a year of diagnosis and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within a year of diagnosis?
  • What percentage of NASH 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?
