New Pharmaceuticals research report from GlobalData is now available from Fast Market Research

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 09/10/2013 --GlobalData has released its new PharmaPoint Drug Evaluation report, "Itraconazole (Dermatophytic Onychomycosis) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022". Dermatophytic onychomycosis (DO) is characterized as being a fungal infection of the nail. Infection can involve the nail unit (nail matrix, nail bed, or nail plate). DO isn't considered life-threatening, however can cause patients to experience discomfort, pain, and may cause physical and occupational limitations. DO patients can be identified as having thick or brittle nails along with discoloration (white and opaque). Physicians currently use direct microscopy and fungal culture tests to ensure correct diagnosis and treatment are achieved. Risk factors such as advanced age, pre-existing diabetes, or immunocompromised systems can increase the incidence of DO in patients. Current therapies consist of generics that offer substantial efficacy but sub-par safety profiles. A new wave of therapies is expected to offer topical options for patients who are unable to withstand existing generic options. These therapies are also expected to drive an increase in total drug treatment rates in the US market.

Itraconazole was one of the first triazoles marketed for the treatment of onychomycosis. Introduced to the market under the brand name Sporanox, itraconazole is a highly lipophilic chemical entity that is able to penetrate into the nail plate very well. Itraconazole works by inhibiting the cytochrome P450-dependent synthesis of ergosterol, which continues to be a major target for antifungal products. Itraconazole has been marketed for multiple indications in addition to onychomycosis, such as blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and aspergillosis.
