Comparative effectiveness of high-efficacy and moderate efficacy disease-modifying agents in reducing the annualized relapse rates among multiple sclerosis patients in the United States
Objective
The optimal treatment strategy for the management of multiple sclerosis is widely discussed due to the increasing availability of high-efficacy disease-modifying agents (heDMAs). This study evaluated the comparative effectiveness of heDMA and moderate-efficacy disease-modifying agents (meDMAs) use in reducing annualized relapse rate (ARR) among multiple sclerosis patients.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the 2015–2019 United States Merative MarketScan Commercial Claims Data. Adult (18–64 years) patients with incident disease-modifying agents (DMA) use were included. Claim-based relapse algorithms were applied to measure relapse events. The inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) based negative binomial regression model with the offset of the follow-up period was used to compare the ARR. The moderation effect of sex on ARR was also examined.
Results
This study included 10,003 incident DMA users, with 22.9 % initiated heDMAs. The average ARR during follow-up among heDMA users was lower than meDMA users (0.25 vs. 0.28, p < 0.01). The IPTW-based regression found that sex moderated the relationship between the types of DMAs and ARR. Stratified analyses revealed that heDMAs were associated with a lower ARR in males (adjusted incidence rate ratio [aIRR] 0.74; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.59–0.94) compared with meDMAs. No significant differences were noted among females (aIRR 0.99; 95 % CI: 0.88–1.21).
Conclusion
The study found that sex moderated the effect of heDMAs, with male multiple sclerosis patients using heDMAs associated with a 26 % decreased risk of relapse than those with meDMAs. However, there was no difference in comparative effectiveness for females.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1972 by Ernst Wynder, Preventive Medicine is an international scholarly journal that provides prompt publication of original articles on the science and practice of disease prevention, health promotion, and public health policymaking. Preventive Medicine aims to reward innovation. It will favor insightful observational studies, thoughtful explorations of health data, unsuspected new angles for existing hypotheses, robust randomized controlled trials, and impartial systematic reviews. Preventive Medicine''s ultimate goal is to publish research that will have an impact on the work of practitioners of disease prevention and health promotion, as well as of related disciplines.
