SWOT Analysis: ASCVD Incretin Step-Therapy Criteria Pack

A ready-to-deploy utilization-management policy module for PBMs and health plans that uses the new noninferiority-without-superiority cardiovascular evidence to place the typically lower-priced dulaglutide first for members with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease, with defined exceptions for weight-priority patients.

The SWOT analysis reveals a high-value opportunity to leverage the SURPASS-CVOT non-inferiority data to drive immediate cost savings for payers. While the evidence-based approach is strong, the primary risk lies in physician pushback and the tension between cardiovascular stability and the high market demand for tirzepatide's superior weight loss.
