Recently published research from GlobalData, "Masitinib (Multiple Sclerosis) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022", is now available at Fast Market Research

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/19/2013 --GlobalData has released its new PharmaPoint Drug Evaluation report, "Masitinib (Multiple Sclerosis) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022". Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory neurological disorder characterized pathologically by demyelination, axonal transection and neurodegeneration within the central nervous system. With curative therapy still elusive, current disease management is dependent on life-long pharmacotherapy with disease-modifying therapies (DMT). The dominance of first-line injectable DMTs, including the interferon beta (IFNB) agents: Bayer's Betaseron/Betaferon (IFNB-1b), Biogen's Avonex (IFNB-1a) and Merck's Rebif (IFNB-1a), and Teva's Copaxone (glatiramer acetate), has been a salient feature of the MS therapeutics market. However, the competitive landscape is undergoing significant change with the emergence of oral therapies, several pipeline products with notable efficacies, and looming generics/biosimilars following the patent expiries of key branded products during the forecast period. In addition, the entry of new companies such as Sanofi/Genzyme and F. Hoffmann-La-Roche/Genentech will challenge the position of the established players in the MS marketplace.

AB Science's masitinib is a novel first-in-class, orally-administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets the survival, migration, and degranulation of mast cells through inhibition of important growth factors and activation of signaling pathways (Dubreuil et al., 2009). It is currently being investigated as a treatment for PPMS and relapse-free SPMS (rfSPMS) in Phase IIb/III clinical trials. Mastinib offers a potential future treatment option for the significantly underserved population of progressive MS patients (PPMS and SPMS).
