Data Sources and Methodology:

We leverage company-reported financial transaction data disclosed through CMS Open Payments. This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, 42 months of longitudinal data is available - covering payments to more than 900,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
Over 4,200 paid interactions across 3,100 physicians made on behalf of Combigan were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 6 peer products (e.g. Alphagan P, Istalol, Lumigan, Simbrinza, Travatan Z, and Zioptan) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
