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, over 5 years of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 1,000,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
• Over 18,100 paid interactions across 9,800 physicians made on behalf of Nexletol were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 5 peer products (e.g. Juxtapid, Livalo, Nexlizet, Praluent, and Repatha ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
