Psoriatic Arthritis – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis (US)
Several new drugs have recently entered the PsA market, including new entries into the biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (tsDMARD) classes. However, the impact of these newer therapies on the treatment algorithm is not yet understood; the data in this report provide insight into this question. Physicians are choosing among six tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, including a biosimilar version of Remicade, but they may also select from two interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors, an IL-12/23i, a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor (PDE4) inhibitor, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, and a selective costimulation modulator. With this plethora of drugs, understanding what choices physicians make and why they prefer or avoid certain drugs is increasingly important for manufacturers.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How do dermatologists and rheumatologists differ in their approach to treating PsA? How many patients have received a previous diagnosis of a related disease?
Where in the treatment algorithm will new therapies such as Taltz, Xeljanz, and Orencia fall?
What factors drive physicians to switch patients away from the heavilyused TNF inhibitors? How many TNF inhibitors will be tried for a given patient before physicians move to an alternative class of therapy?
Under what circumstances will physicians select a biosimilar TNF inhibitor instead of a branded version? How important is cost when making prescribing decisions?
