Patient profiling
Who is your patient and what do they want to hear? What are your patient s ideas, concerns, expectations (ICE)? How much do they already know about their psoriasis? Is your patient more concerned about appearance, itching or the inconvenience of applying treatments? What do they expect from their treatment and are they likely to adhere to the treatment regimen? Given limited consultation time, being able to profile your patient should improve the quality of consultations as well as making that time more effective Understanding that your patient s profile may change over time will enable you to tailor their management accordingly
Large, multinational study to help understand different patient types who might benefit from individualised interventions Countries participating in the study Identifying patients who are in need of additional support
Research insights: study design Stage 1 Qualitative Stage 1 Qualitative Ethnographic study of 56 patients with psoriasis 42 respondents studied for 1 day 14 respondents studied for 2 days Countries: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, USA, Canada Stage 2 Quantitative Qualitative stage guided development of the quantitative questionnaire and sample Online methodology, 40 minutes 3822 patients with psoriasis* Markets: Patient criteria 18 years old or over Suffer from psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis UK FR DE ES IT US CA Tot 608 571 488 577 358 609 611 3822 *Includes the 1884 patients currently using prescription treatments for psoriasis that are reported in Bewley et al. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2014;28:763 770
Robust methodology for generating a patient profile Phase 1: Burden of psoriasis studies Capture of patient data via interviews, course-of-day exercises, photo diaries and field notes Link between medical and psychological well-being Channels of influence, variations in perception of treatment Large amounts of raw ethnographic data Data processing, analysis and synthesis Understanding of the relationship between burden of disease and burden of treatment: parameters for patient classification Quantitative validation and ranking of data Quantification of core emotional drivers/patient segments, understanding of patient relationship with treatment and HCPs
Robust methodology for generating a patient profile Phase 2: Patient profiles Integration of data from burden of psoriasis studies, data from other patient panels and groups, and social media listening Data clustered based on patients needs and preferences Identification of patterns for profiles that represent poles within population of psoriasis patients Consolidation of the profiles: establishing clear delineations with respect to burden of disease and treatment Validation of the profiles with GPs and dermatologists
Profiles are based on key intrinsic, behavioural and attitudinal characteristics Intrinsic characteristics Patient history with psoriasis Burden of disease/treatment scores Differentiating behaviours Treatment choice Frequency of HCP visits QoL impact Differentiating attitudes Satisfaction with current medication Receptivity to new treatments Trust in HCPs
Research insights: understanding patients Engagement with treatment High Self-manager 40% Why me? 28% Actively engaged 16% Help me 16% Low Low High Burden of disease
NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE POSITIVE EXPERIENCE The four segments all have distinct problems with prescription topicals Self-manager Irregular treatment (mix and match/fire fighting) caused by a fear of side effects and an unmet need for more specific treatments I know cortisone creams help but I use them only sometimes. Actively engaged The burden of treatment is high (time, yuckiness), but due to satisfaction with efficacy, PTs are used compliantly I must improve my condition, so compliance is essential. Among PTs, there are not enough choices LOW DISEASE IMPACT PTs are still a compromise HIGH DISEASE IMPACT Why me? Dropped out after a frustrating experience of trial-and-error with PTs There are no creams that help, so why bother then? Help me Deep disappointment with efficacy of PTs, therefore not considering them as proper medical treatment Creams are creams, a waste of time I want real medicine. Given up on PTs and the HCS Overall low involvement with medicine HCS, healthcare system; PT, psoriasis treatments
Four patient profiles developed 40% 16% Self-manager Actively engaged 28% 16% Why me? Help me
NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE POSITIVE EXPERIENCE We identified different means to increase the segments satisfaction with prescription topical efficacy Self-managers require Focused treatments with short-term results Treatments that live up to their fear of side effects (especially their reluctance towards steroids) Products specialised in reducing visibility Actively engaged require Further improved PT products (regarding efficacy and burden of treatment) A treatment more sustainable than systemics A treatment that can usefully complement systemics from the outside (skin) LOW DISEASE IMPACT HIGH DISEASE IMPACT Why me? require Effective and low burden medical treatments A better and less confusing understanding of psoriasis An environment that understands and cares about their psoriasis Help me require Conviction that products have real medical value A systemised treatment regimen Clearer instructions and increased care from the HCS New hope
Profile: Self-manager Self-manager 40% Tend to have the most positive outlook on life Psoriasis has least impact on quality of life Not as likely to be current users of prescription medicine; would avoid using treatments unless necessary Least receptive to new treatments Refer to psoriasis information least frequently 72% have mild psoriasis
Profile: Why me? Why me? 28% Psoriasis not as severe as Help me group; however, not coping that well with psoriasis 50% use prescription medicine; 33% use non-prescription medicine Not as satisfied with topicals; would try to avoid prescription medicine unless necessary Least trusting of their HCPs Least adherent segment (41%) 53% have moderate psoriasis; 35% mild
Profile: Help me Help me 16% Tend to have the most negative outlook Highest percentage of body affected by psoriasis Psoriasis has highest impact on quality of life Tend not to have a good relationship with their HCP Most receptive to new treatments Refer to psoriasis information the most frequently 57% have moderate psoriasis; 32% severe
Profile: Actively engaged Actively engaged 16% 40% use prescription medicine and 40% use non-prescription medicine Have the most positive relationship with their HCP Tend to trust their HCP the most Tend to have a good level of satisfaction of topicals The most adherent segment (54%) 56% have moderate psoriasis; 33% mild
