Hemophilia Care & Price Monitoring Wave #27

 

SURVEY ON HEMOPHILIA CARE & PRICE MONITORING
UNITED STATES — WAVE 27
(May 2020)

Since 1993, the Marketing Research Bureau has tracked the US hemophilia care market, focusing on the most important clinical as well as socio-economic issues including product’s switching and adoption of new therapies, product’s differentiation, prophylaxis and immune tolerance, treatment preferences, pricing, reimbursement trends and more,

The FDA approval of Roche’s Hemlibra in October 2018 for hemophilia A prophylactic treatment has opened a new era in hemophilia care, with rapid uptake in patients with inhibitors and regular prophylaxis. Approved eleven months earlier for the treatment of patients with an inhibitor, Hemlibra already made a significant impact on this patient population sub-group, recording a rapid market acceptance. With a number of extended half-life recombinant factor VIII now on the market, the variety of new therapeutic options available to hemophilia patients, as well as for persons with von Willebrand disease has already changed the therapeutic landscape. For the clotting factor manufacturers, the wide choice offered to patients and treating personnel represents a new challenge as it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain differentiation in a crowded market, with pressure on prices.

Based on over twenty in-depth telephone interviews with hemophilia treatment centers and other stakeholders, this report provides clients with a detailed description of the US hemophilia care market in early 2019 and how it has evolved over the past decade. Some of the report’s focuses include:

  • Analysis of coagulation factor brands, including the adoption and perception of new recombinant factors VIII and IX, as well as of Roche/Genentech’s Hemlibra;
  • Market shares of coagulation factor products;
  • Trends in immune tolerance and prophylaxis;
  • Awareness of new products and technologies in development, including gene therapy;
  • Impact of the 340 B program and patients’ issues and
  • Coagulation factor prices.
