Outcomes Study: Generic Perceptions: Measuring MS Patient Opinions on Generic Disease Modifying Therapies (DMTs)

Background

  • In 2018, the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) world received its first true generic DMT, and more generics will become available over the next few years.
  • Studies in other disease states have shown a nocebo effect due to a mistrust of generic medications, leading
    to worse clinical outcomes and higher medical costs when patients are mandated to switch from a branded maintenance medication to a generic.
  • To learn if there could be a risk of a nocebo effect for patients with MS, this study focused on understanding patients’ views towards generic DMTs.

 

Objectives

Primary: Measuring the views of patients with MS toward generic DMTs.

Secondary: Observe opportunities for pharmacists to impact patient DMT trust through counseling.
