Psoriasis | Emerging Therapies | Tremfya (IL-23) (guselkumab) | Wave 3 | US | 2018

In the past decade, TNF-α inhibitors Humira (AbbVie) and Enbrel (Amgen), as well as Janssen’s IL-12/23 inhibitor Stelara, have been leading the U.S. psoriasis biologics market. However, the recent wave of U.S. approvals for novel psoriasis agents—Celgene’s Otezla (2014), Novartis’s Cosentyx (2015), Eli Lilly’s Taltz (2016), Valeant’s Siliq (2017), Janssen’s Tremfya (2017), and Sun Pharma’s Ilumya (2018)—is anticipated to substantially alter the market landscape. The Psoriasis Emerging Therapy series includes three waves that will track the awareness, trial, and use of Tremfya following its launch in July 2017 for the treatment of psoriasis. In addition, the series will examine physicians’ anticipation of future trends in psoriasis treatment, particularly Tremfya’s uptake, and assess Janssen’s promotional efforts.

  • What is the awareness of, familiarity with, and perceptions related to Tremfya among U.S. dermatologists?
  • According to prescribers, to which patients are they prescribing Tremfya, why are they prescribing Tremfya, and how satisfied are they with Tremfya?
