Ipsos Healthcare Launches Hyperlipidemia Therapy Monitor
London, UK - Ipsos Healthcare, the global healthcare division of Ipsos, has announced the launch of its syndicated Hyperlipidemia Therapy Monitor - the latest addition to its Global Therapy Monitor Portfolio, which reveals drug shares, future prescribing intentions, attributes that drive doctors' decision-making, and more.
The new monitor focuses specifically on hyperlipidemia patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or a resistance to statins. Treatment of this particular patient group is currently at a critical stage with the advancement of the highly-anticipated PCSK9 inhibitor class of drugs in phase III trials.
Explained Dr Sabina Heinz, Head of Ipsos Healthcare's Cardiovascular & Diabetes Therapy Monitor Portfolio:
"The PCSK9 inhibitors are currently showing very strong results in Phase 3 trials, and have the potential to transform the treatment of hyperlipidemia patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or statin-resistance.
"Ipsos Healthcare's new monitor puts the magnifying glass onto this specific patient group, enabling pharma and biotechs to gain an understanding of market potential and current unmet needs at a time when they need it most."
The Hyperlipidemia Therapy Monitor will track hyperlipidemia treatment in the US, with the EU5 scheduled to follow in 2014. US data will be available at the beginning of Q1 2014. Given the crossover of this patient group with diabetes - another Therapy Monitor offered by Ipsos Healthcare - subscribers will be able to see a holistic picture of diabetes patients suffering from hyperlipidemia.
