FDA OK’s IL-17As for nr-axSpA, But Few See Changes Ahead With Chart: Current Market Access to Ankylosing Spondylitis Medications

The FDA’s approvals of two interleukin-17A (IL-17A) antagonists to treat active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) give providers new options for patients who are intolerant of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and other therapies.

But the FDA’s decision to greenlight Eli Lilly and Co.’s Taltz (ixekizumab) and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.’s Cosentyx (secukinumab) for the condition are unlikely to shake up plan formularies, since IL-17As currently are considered third-line treatments for the condition, PBM insiders say.
