PharmaPoint: Crohns Disease - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

Summary

The Crohns disease (CD) market is currently very dynamic, with novel biologic therapies on the horizon, such as_x000D_ -
- Takedas alpha4beta7 inhibitor, Entyvio (vedolizumab)_x000D_
- Johnson & Johnsons (J&Js) interleukin (IL)-12/23 inhibitor, Stelara (ustekinumab)_x000D_

These compounds will challenge the current biologics in an attempt to dislodge the stronghold of the TNF inhibitors, as they aim to tap into the lucrative portion of the CD therapeutics market. If their promising safety and efficacy profiles translate to clinical practice once they enter the market, their launch will be to the detriment of the existing market leaders, Remicade (infliximab) and Humira (adalimumab).

The loss of patent protection of the anti-TNF marketed brands will allow for the emergence of biosimilars, such as Hospiras Inflectra (infliximab) a Remicade biosimilar. Patent expiries begin in 2015 for the current market leaders -
- J&Js Remicade (infliximab)_x000D_
- AbbVies Humira (adalimumab)_x000D_

Focusing on country dynamics, Canada and the emerging markets of China and India will also play a key role in driving growth in the long term, with each market forecast to post positive Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGRs) from 2012 to 2022, primarily due to the anticipated strong uptake of Remicade over the forecast period.

Exciting times lay ahead for the CD marketplace, as the market events noted above are due to occur against the backdrop of a steadily rising global CD prevalent population. With the clinical unmet need for better diagnostic tools and treatment options for the anti-TNF-refractory population, CD represents an attractive autoimmune disease for drug developers. This, in turn should fuel commercial interest in this subtype of IBD.

Highlights

Key Questions Answered

- How will the CD market (sales and patient numbers) evolve over the 10-year forecast period from 2012 to 2022?
- Which brands and specific drug classes did physicians select for their CD patients in 2012 and how do they foresee their prescribing behavior evolving over the next five years?
- How will the launch of late-stage pipeline therapies such as Entyvio and Stelara shape the future treatment landscape?
- What are the remaining unmet needs and opportunities for drug developers within the CD market?

Key Findings

- The main drivers of growth in the CD market during the coming decade include the anticipated launch of the first non-anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologics, Entyvio and Stelara; the uptake of infliximab and adalimumab biosimilars; and the increasing prevalent cases of CD.
- Companies striving to enter the CD market appear most focused on the anti-TNF refractory population, as this remains the most underserved group. However, competition within this patient segment is set to intensify from 2014 on, following new product launches. Therefore, companies with early-phase products targeting this patient group may struggle to gain a foothold in the future CD market.
- The level of unmet need in the CD marketplace is moderate, with clinical unmet needs being the main driver for research into this autoimmune disease. The most pressing clinical unmet need is for reliable disease diagnostic tools, such as biomarkers, as these could aid physicians to tailor their treatment approach.
- Although The publisher forecasts four new product launches (Entyvio, Stelara, vercirnon, and Prochymal [remestemcel-L]) during the 20122022 forecast period, growth within the 10 CD healthcare markets covered in this report will largely be driven by the strong uptake of Entyvio and Stelara.
