The 5 Key Questions Addressed by this Report:

• How many physicians were reached by Apokyn through personal promotion in 2015 and how does this compare to its peer set in the Parkinson’s Disease market?
• What promotional mix was leveraged (e.g., sales rep detailing, physician education, and paid speaking) and what was the median spend on each type of activity?
• How does US WorldMeds’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., Neurology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Pain Medicine) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?
• How often are physicians receiving paid meals for Apokyn throughout the year (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually)?
• Who were the most detailed prescribers and top paid speakers/consultants for Apokyn in 2015?

Data Sources and Methodology:

• MDDetails leverages company-reported financial transaction data disclosed through CMS Open Payments. This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, 30 months of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 800,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
• Over 7,000 paid interactions across 1,900 physicians made on behalf of Apokyn were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 4 peer products (e.g. Azilect, Duopa, Neupro, and Northera) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
