Rheumatoid Arthritis – Current Treatment – Detailed, Expanded Analysis: Patient Profiler (US)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment is typically initiated with cost-effective conventional DMARDs, such as methotrexate. The U.S. market for conventional DMARD-refractory RA patients is crowded with efficacious biologics, including blockbuster tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors Amgen’s Enbrel, AbbVie’s Humira, and Janssen’s Remicade, as well as non-TNF-α inhibitors such as Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Orencia and Roche/Genentech’s Rituxan and Actemra. In addition, Pfizer’s Jak inhibitor Xeljanz, the first targeted oral molecule approved for RA, has been approved for more than five years in the United States and is experiencing steady uptake. The RA therapy market is expected to become increasingly competitive with the upcoming approvals of additional agents and the entry of biosimilars, making brand differentiation and understanding of key patient characteristics ever more critical for marketers.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- What is the patient share in RA of TNF-α inhibitors and other key drug classes?
- What are the demographic characteristics and clinical profiles of RA patients on biologics and Xeljanz?
- What are the key risk factors, comorbidities, and coprescribed/additional therapies by patient segment for RA?
- How do RA patient cohorts compare in care utilization and outcomes (physician visits and other healthcare encounters)?
- What are the reimbursed and out-of-pocket costs?
- What kind of insurance do RA patients have?
