Diabetic Macular Edema / Diabetic Retinopathy – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis: Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis (US)
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the accumulation of fluid in the macula due to leaking blood vessels resulting from diabetic retinopathy. Therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been shown to improve visual acuity in DME patients. The anti-VEGF agents used in the treatment of DME are Lucentis and Eylea—both approved for the treatment of DME—and off-label Avastin. In addition to the anti-VEGF therapies, two long-acting intravitreal corticosteroid implants, Ozurdex and Iluvien, were approved in the United States in 2014 for the treatment of DME. Given the competitive DME market, it is essential to understand how DME patients are currently being treated using real-world data.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What patient share do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed DME patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed DME patients?
- How have intravitreal corticosteroid implants been integrated into the treatment algorithm?
- What proportion of DME 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 DME 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 DME?
