Optum Rx ‘Pipeline’ Report Takes Closer Look at Three Large-Population Drugs

In its latest drug pipeline insights report, Optum Rx pivots from its habit of highlighting upcoming medications for rare diseases, instead focusing on a trio of emerging therapies that target much wider patient populations. The UnitedHealth Group-owned PBM tells AIS Health, a division of MMIT, that the move was driven more by happenstance than intention.

“In this report, we were focusing on drugs expected in the third quarter of 2023, and from among that group, these three seemed particularly interesting to describe in more detail,” explains Bill Dreitlein, senior director of pipeline and drug surveillance at Optum Rx.
