Project Overview
2
Specific Aim 1
- To determine and compare switchback rates,
medical service utilization, and clinical
- utcomes between authorized generics (AGs)
and generics using healthcare claim data with electronic medical records.
3
Aim 1 Methods
- Study design: a retrospective cohort study
- Study population: Marshfield Clinic (MC) Security
Health Plan (SHP) claims data with linked electronic health records (EHR) data in 1999-2014
- Inclusion criteria:
– Continuous enrollment (CE) in 6-mon prior to generic introduction through at least the first Rx fill after generic availability – At least 1 brand Rx in 6-mon prior and 1 Rx fill of a medication in the therapeutic area within 12-mon after generic availability – At least 1 MC healthcare encounter/year during eligible periods
4
Aim 1 Methods (cont’d)
Branded treatment initiation Generic entry
Generic switch Non-switchers: stay on brand Switchback
Index date for generic switch Index date for switchback
Switchers: stay on generic Switchers: switchback to brand
Pre-index Brand Brand Generic
Generic switch: switch from a brand drug to an authorized or independent generic drug within 30 months following generic entry Switchback: among those who had a brand to generic switch, generic to brand switchback rates were calculated in 30 months following the index switch date

Aim 1 Methods (cont’d)
- Revised drugs of interest:

*Factors associated with a higher likelihood of generic switch in the overall drug cohort included pre-index defined daily dose and all- cause hospitalization Time from generic entry to generic switch by drug

Health Services Use & Outcomes

*Medical service utilization and outcomes were measured during a 12-month period after generic switch. Generalized logistic regression was used to model binary outcomes and negative binomial regression were used to mode count outcomes. Age, defined daily dose, and Charlson score were controlled as covariates in these models.

Lamotrigine
Methodological Challenges
- Limited Authorized Generic Formulations
– Only specific formulations available as AG
- Lamotrigine chewable
- Extended release carbamazepine, metoprolol, venlafaxine
- Authorized Generic Availability
– Strength of connection between brand and AG
- Greenstone and Pfizer
– Dual marketing of AG and ANDA-approved generic
- Dr. Reddy’s Simvastatin
17
Methodological Approach
- Illustrated with alendronate
– Which report types? – Which time? – Ignore the AG?
- Illustrated with carbamazepine XR
– Multiple formulations with and without AG?

Specific Aim 3
- To develop a pilot surveillance system to
compare patient experience for authorized generics and independent generics with brand name drugs for differential adverse event signal detection.

Marshfield’s Population
Security Health Plan MC Primary Service Area
Analysis Decision Points
- Analysis cohort (e.g. first-time users of the drug vs. switch cohort)
- Maximum length of observation time (e.g. 365 days vs. 30 days)
- Inclusion / Exclusion of those with events prior to drug exposure
- Inclusion / Exclusion of those with events documented on a single date
- Statistical model (e.g. PH model of time to first event, negative binomial)
- Covariates
- Gender
- Age
- Charlson comorbidity score
- Diabetes indicator
- Smoking indicator
- MESA residency indicator
- Estimated SHP rate for the event of interest
- Review the raw data
- Initial model based analysis
- Are numbers small?
- Review unadjusted/adjusted significance
- Are hazard ratios reasonable?
Initial screening
- Evaluate results after varying decision points
- Evaluate subsetting cohort to limit date of first
exposure
- Gather extensive data pre-exposure
- Evaluate associations with B/G and outcome
- Develop propensity score to improve B/G comparability
- Use another drug as secondary comparison group
Secondary analysis
- Trained research coordinator review
- Expert evaluation
