Does COPAXONE patient experience in the real world justify its value?

For more than 15 years, COPAXONE has been studied in clinical trials and prescribed to patients as an FDA-approved self-administered injectable treatment for reducing the frequency of relapses in patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). However, similar to other multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), nearly all studies of COPAXONE primarily assess such clinical endpoints as improvement in the clinician-administered Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or a reduction in lesion activity as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

By contrast, comparatively little is known about the real-world experiences and value of COPAXONE from the perspective of the individual actually using the product: the MS patient. Understanding this perspective complements knowledge derived from the clinician and facilitates new learning about COPAXONE usage and future prospects. For example:

  • Who are COPAXONE users? What characteristics define them?
  • What attitudes do they express? What are their experiences on COPAXONE?
  • How long do they remain on COPAXONE? Why do they discontinue?
  • Is COPAXONE appropriately priced given its perceived impact in the real world?

Answers to these and other questions derived from shared real-world patient experiences with COPAXONE on PatientsLikeMe constitute the focus of this report.
