Published July 2015 • 26 Pages
The 5 Key Questions Addressed by this Report:
- How many physicians were reached by Rayos through personal promotion in 2014 and how does this compare to its peer set in the Ankylosing Spondylitis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis markets?
- 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 Horizon’s depth of coverage vary within key specialties (e.g., Rheumatology, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Orthopedic Surgery) and how does this compare to its peers and the overall set of rep-accessible physicians?
- How often are physicians receiving paid meals for Rayos throughout the year (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually)?
- Who were the most detailed prescribers and top paid speakers/consultants for Rayos in 2014?
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 8,100 paid interactions across 1,700 physicians made on behalf of Rayos were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 15 peer products (e.g. Actemra, Cimzia, Enbrel, Humira, Ilaris, Kineret, Orencia, Otezla, Otrexup, Rasuvo, Remicade, Rituxan, Simponi, Stelara, and Xeljanz) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
