Essential Thrombocythemia – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis (US) Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a rare chronic myeloproliferative disease characterized by the overproduction of platelets. While the etiology of ET is not fully understood, a genetic mutation may be accountable in most cases. With proper treatment, patients with the disease generally have normal life expectancies that are of excellent quality. Depending on the severity of the patient’s diagnosis, different drug classes can be used to target appropriate mechanisms. Anticoagulant therapies, for example, can be used to prevent clotting, while PDE-3 inhibitors such as anagrelide (Takeda’s Agrylin, generics) can be used to reduce the number of platelets.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed ET patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed ET patients?
- How have therapies such as anagrelide and rivaroxaban (Janssen’s Xarelto) been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what are their sources of business?
- What percentage of ET patients receive drug therapy after diagnosis and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy after diagnosis?
- What percentage of ET 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?
