Stakeholder Opinions: Physician perception of biologics in
autoimmune disease - Targeted detailing is the key to success
Published on March 2009
Report Summary
Introduction
Factors influencing a prescribing decision can diverge from clinical facts. In the highly competitive autoimmune area, misconceptions
and physician habits can result in loss of sales. Targeted detailing of specialist physicians, differentiating by indications is the key to
success. Datamonitor has surveyed gastroenterologists, rheumatologists and dermatologists on attribute and brand perceptions
Scope
*Opinion from 540 physicians including rheumatologists, dermatologists and gastroenterologists
*Data from physicians and opinion leaders across the seven major markets of the US, Japan, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the
UK
*Analysis of the extent to which certain factors affect physician prescribing, with comparison across each specialty
*Analysis of the opinion dynamics for the key brands used across prominent autoimmune diseases
Highlights
Efficacy and safety factors will always be any physician's main consideration, drawing an average of 62% of the weighting by
importance when prescribing a biologic therapy. Actemra's positive perception from rheumatologists, despite known side-effects,
exemplifies the importance of informing physicians about issues, rather than masking them.
New TNF inhibitors in autoimmune disease battle against 'me-too' status and the strong positive opinion of the existing three products
in the category. Humira leads the group with a total score 16% above the average. Newcomer anti-TNF options Simponi (golimumab)
and Cimzia (certolizumab) are not well perceived by EU prescribing rheumatologists.
Dermatologists' exhibit cynicism towards biologic therapies, scoring all brands lower than other physician types, less surprising when
considering the nature of most psoriasis therapies. However, Centocor's Stelara (ustekinumab) is highly anticipated with
dermatologists scoring it 40% above average in terms of predicted efficacy.
Reasons to Purchase
*Target physicians more efficiently by understanding the differences in brand perception between physician specialties
*Tailor your marketing message to the attributes most important to prescribing physicians
*Assess the regional dynamics of physician perception in autoimmune disease across the seven major markets

Infection rates and in particular tuberculosis reactivation is of primary concern 36
Dermatologists consider a drug's effect on child-bearing ability 36
Immunogenicity divides the brands 37
Formulary or reimbursement status 39
DMARDs are considered ineffective for ankylosing spondylitis, but insurance constraints can prevent move to biologics 43
Time spent on a biologic is limited by cost constraints 44
Dosing frequency and delivery method 45
Gastroenterologists consider method of administration important 46
Brand comparison shows iv Remicade is not well received by dermatologists 47
Marketing and familiarity 48
Smarter physician detailing needed 51
Time on market influences score but is not always the defining pressure 52
Anti-TNF brand websites provide examples of best practice 53
Brands with other mechanisms vary their messages 56

Activation of Crohn's disease with ankylosing spondylitis patients treated with Enbrel 82
Remicade (infliximab; Centocor, Schering-Plough, Mitsubishi Tanabe) 83
A fast-acting effective drug but tuberculosis reactivation is an issue 83
Remicade considered less focused on each specific disease 85
Humira (adalimumab; Abbott) 88
Humira's dominance shows as brand scores above average on all factors 88
Abbott's US co-pay system praised but should be reinforced with dermatologists 92
Orencia (abatacept; Bristol-Myers Squibb) 92
Orencia is perceived as the safe option 92
Rituxan/MabThera (rituximab; Roche, Genentach, Biogen Idec) 94
Re-treatment data are needed and data from the latest SUNRISE trial should be communicated 95
Raptiva (efalizumab; Genentech, Xoma, Merck Serono) 97
Raptiva hit by multifocal leukoencephalopathy side-effect 98
Amevive (alfacept; Astellas, Biogen Idec) 101
Amevive's poor efficacy and unusual dosing regime relegate it to last place 102
Tysabri (natalizumab; Biogen Idec, Elan) 103
