• 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 5,780 paid interactions across 2,140 physicians made on behalf of Saphnelo were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 2 peer products (e.g. Benlysta and Lupkynis ) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
