Aim: Estimate the cost-per-remitter with esketamine nasal spray plus an oral antidepressant (ESK NS + OAD) versus quetiapine extended release plus an oral antidepressant (QTP XR + OAD) among adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Materials & methods: An Excel-based model was developed to estimate the cost-per-remitter for ESK NS + OAD and QTP XR + OAD from the perspective of a US...
Major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior (MDSI) is a substantial humanistic, economic, and clinical burden on patients. Data on health care resource use (HRU) and costs among patients with MDSI initiated on esketamine nasal spray relative to traditional treatments are limited. This study sought to describe HRU and medical costs of patients with MDSI initiated on...
Esketamine is an FDA-approved treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depression with acute suicidal ideation or behavior (MDSI). This analysis addressed the lack of data on real-world characteristics of patients with TRD and MDSI or prescribed esketamine. Data were derived from the Adelphi Real World Depression Disease Specific Programme a cross-sectional survey of...
Objective: This post hoc analysis of the ESCAPE-TRD trial compared work productivity loss (WPL) and related costs among patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) receiving esketamine nasal spray or quetiapine extended release in combination with an oral antidepressant. Methods: Adults with TRD randomized to receive esketamine (56/84 mg) or quetiapine (150-300 mg) combined with ongoing...
Disparities in mental health care access and health outcomes based on sociodemographic factors in the United States have been extensively documented. However, there is limited knowledge regarding these socioeconomic factors with respect to initiation of esketamine nasal spray, a novel therapy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). To evaluate the association of socioeconomic factors with the...
To describe real-world esketamine nasal spray access and use as well as healthcare resource use (HRU) and costs among adults with evidence of major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal ideation or behavior (MDSI). Adults with ≥1 claim for esketamine nasal spray and evidence of MDSI 12 months before/on the date of esketamine initiation (index date) were selected from Clarivate's Real World...
